Lissadell House

The Lissadell Estate is the home of husband-and-wife Edward Walsh, Constance Cassidy and our seven children. We welcome visitors, during the season, to the house and grounds.  Lissadell is our home, and we ask our visitors to respect that.

 

Lissadell is famous as the childhood home of Constance Markievicz, her sister Eva Gore-Booth and her brother Josslyn Gore-Booth. Constance was one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising, and was the first woman to be elected to Dáil Eireann, where she served as Minister for Labour (thus becoming the first woman minister in a modern Western European democracy), and was also the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons at Westminster
