When John Smithwick moved to Kilkenny to make a living in the early 18th century, the penal laws against Catholics were in full swing. Therefore, he could neither own property nor run for office. Nonetheless, soon after arriving in Killarney he started running a brewery with Richard Cole. It was on land Cole had leased in 1705 from the Duke of Ormond, who lived at Kilkenny Castle.
