Baron Rathdonnell

Baron Rathdonnell

Baron Rathdonnell, of Rathdonnell in the County of Donegal, is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1868 for John McClintock, with remainder to the male issue of his deceased younger brother Captain William Bunbury Bunbury-McClintock (who had represented County Carlow in the House of Commons). The barony of Rathdonnel was the second-last barony created in the Peerage of Ireland. Lord Rathdonnell was succeeded according to the special remainder by his nephew, the second Baron. He sat in the House of Lords as an Irish Representative Peer from 1889 to 1929 and also served as Lord Lieutenant of County Carlow between 1890 and 1929. As of 2007 the title is held by his great-grandson, the fifth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1959.

The family seat is Lisnavagh House in Rathvilly, Carlow, Ireland.

The Arctic explorer Admiral Sir Francis Leopold McClintock was the nephew of the first Baron.
