  1. Plassey, County Clare

    In 1761, Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive gave orders for his estate in County Clare , centred around the townland of Ballykilty, to be renamed Plassey the name of the Plassey place where we gained our great victory in India to which I owe all my good fortune . Shortly afterwards, he became Lord Clive, Baron Plassey in the County of Clare. A number of authors have assumed a direct link between Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive Robert Clive and Plassey, County Limerick Plassey House , now the administrative centre of the University of Limerick , which is located on the Limerick bank of the River Shannon and connected by a bridge to County Clare. More recently, John Logan of the University of Limerick has asserted that there is no historical basis for ascribing either occupancy or ownership of Plassey House or its adjacent lands to Robert Clive. It has been suggested that Plassey House was renamed in the late eighteenth century by Thomas Maunsell, who lived there, to commemorate his own role or that of a family member in the Battle of Plassey . The place described as Plassey, County Clare, in The Parliamentary Gazeteer of Ireland, 1845 http www.clarelibrary.ie eolas coclare places plassey 1845.htm appears to be the area on the opposite bank of the Shannon from Plassey, County Limerick .
