By 1892, Dennehy had a residence in Ireland, at Brooklodge, Fermoy, Co. Cork. One of Dennehy's servants in India, Mohammed Buhsh, was one of the two Indian servants sent, by Sir John Tyler, Governor of the North-West Provinces, to Queen Victoria in 1887; the other was Abdul Karim, known as The Munshi (teacher), who replaced the more famous John Brown in the queen's affections.
