II's recommendation to Pope Innocent XI. In 1689 he condemned the failure of James's Jacobite Patriot Parliament to repeal Poynings' Law. He remained in Limerick during the first Siege of Limerick in 1690. Upon the lifting of the siege, he left the city for France as part of a delegation sent by James II to request further French support for the war. He never returned to Ireland. Throughout the 1690s, O'Molony remained in France and was in receipt of a clerical pension from the French king. In the early 1690s, the English government identified him as a likely Jacobite conspirator. In 1691 he subscribed to a letter written by the Irish episcopate to the pope, seeking support for the Jacobite cause. O'Molony died in 1702 at Issy-les-Moulineaux, Paris. He was buried in the Collège des Lombards. In his will he left 1,200 livres for a new Irish college in Paris, 300 livres for the support of students in the Collège des Lombards, and six bursaries for Irish students in the Lycée Louis-le-Grand.
