Dairy farmers per county
Dairy farming is practiced throughout all counties of Ireland, although Munster and eastern counties have the greatest number of cows. Cork had over 4,200 dairy herds, while Tipperary, Kerry and Limerick are also significant. A noted dairy production region touching all four counties is the "Golden Vale", a stretch of top quality land across Limerick, Tipperary and Cork and including the hinterlands of the towns of Charleville, Michelstown, Kilmallock and Tipperary.

Gold Flake advertisement

The health consequences from the smoking were not generally recognised. It would be many years before smoking was banned in all work places.

Pdf Stafford, Thomas. Pacata Hibernia: or, A History of the Wars in Ireland During the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, Volume II. Dublin: Hibernia-Press Co., 1801.
Sir Thomas Stafford (1576?-1655) was a secretary to Sir George Carew, the 1st Earl of Totnes. Believed to be the illegitimate son of Carew, Stafford also served under him as a captain in Munster during the campaign against Hugh O’Neill. A large collection of manuscripts relating to Ireland were donated to Stafford by Carew at the time of the latter’s death. While this collection would have acted as a primary source for his work, it is stated by Stafford that he also drew on Carew’s own writings in composing his Pacata Hibernia.
