Hello Markham This is all I have on Patrick Lysaght and some may apply to your men: Patrick Lysaght was tried at the Special Sessions at Limerick under the Isurrection Act of 1822: Held at Rathkeale: Rathkeale (Ráth Caola in Irish) is a town in west County Limerick, Ireland, between Croagh and Newcastlewest. It is located 30 km (18 mi) southwest of Limerick city on the N21 road to Tralee, and lies on the River Deel. Rathkeale has a significant Irish Traveller population.

Petty sessions are held every alternate Thursday, and quarter sessions in January, April, July and October.
