The traditional McCarthy Lands are in Cork and stretch into Kerry. There were three main clans (in English the McCarthy Mor the McCarthy Beag and not sure about the other). The biggest seats of McCarthy power were Blarney Castle just north of cork city and a north cork village think it was kanturk. After the English came Irish nobility generally stayed simply by promising loyalty to the English crown. The McCarthys were among these and theres actually a local story whereby Elizabeth used to demand this and that from them but they always had some sort of excuse and talked there way out of it. Elizabeth remarked that they talked a load of blarney and so added the word 'blarney' to the English language.

Why do Irish people have Anglophobia?
The Irish do not have Anglophobia. There is a long history between Britain and Ireland and the British involvement in Ireland for over 800 years. As a result of that there are some people who do not like England. However, on a general basis Irish and English people get on well. Many Irish people live in England and many English people live in Ireland. When it comes to things like sport, Ireland likes to beat England, just like most countries in the world have another country they particularly like to beat, but it is all friendly rivalry. There are many misconceptions about Ireland and Britain's relationship and the situation in Ireland by those outside of Ireland, like people thinking there is a war in Ireland or between Ireland and Britain. So for the most part, the Irish do not hate the English.
