The Darrassus family was there they are a family that the Robinett's married into in Dublin. Also there were several ministers in the family former soldiers I believe.

The Huguenot Settlements in Ireland (Grace Lawless Lee)
------------
A list of pastors compiled by de Vignoles with the dates of their ministries appears in the older of the two registers and is as follows;
(May) 1698, Darassus
-------------------------
Another Huguenot cleric, Rev. Pierre Bouquet de St. Paul;
He married Marianne Darassus in Dublin in 1716, and the last of their children died in 1787.
-------------------------
Ministers of the Nonconformist Churches;
Jean Darassus (also officiated at Portarlington) 1696-1716
-----------------------------
The ministers Balaguier, Darassus and Ducasse are of interest as having been connected with Portarlington as well as Dublin.
-----------------------------------
Jean Darassus had been chaplain to the Earl of Galway in Piedmont and returned with him to Dublin. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Colonel de Romagnac. They had five children, Jean; Elie, who became a Captain and died in 1699; Charles, who was appointed chaplain to Colonel Dy Bourgay's Regiment and died in 1731. Marianne, who married Monsieur de St Paul of the French Church of St Patricks; and Henriette, who married Paul de St Ferreol, the Calvinist pastor.
Darassus died or resigned, states Le Fanu, in 1717

The Huguenot Settlements in Ireland (Grace Lawless Lee)
-----------------------------------
The Quarrys married into the Robinette family, given by Burn as of Huguenot stock, which will be dealt with amongst the goldsmiths of the City.
--------------------------------------
Gimlette implies that the Rene Mezandiere who was appointed Customer of Cork under the Duke of Ormond in 1664 was of Huguenot origin, and the Goble family, which, like that of Robinette, figures amongst the Cork goldsmiths, was already residing in the City by 1656. but it was not until the close of the seventeenth century that the real wave of Huguenots settlement therein was definitely founded. Since all Church Records of this settlement have disappeared, information as to its history is limited.
----------------------------
Robinette did not come to Cork until 1791, when he was apprenticed to Carden Terry. He is described as coming from Tullagh, County Waterford, and may be son of Roger Robinette of that county, who was dead by 1781. The family seem to have intermarried with that of Quarry

 These three ministers Balaguier, Darassus, and Ducasse really only gave
occasional assistance at Portarlington, and a reference to the registers will show that they are not
described as ministers of the church. Their duties lay elsewhere, Barthelemy Balaguier and
Jean Darassus being ministers of the Nonconformist French Church in Dublin, while Pascal
Ducasse, who afterwards became a minister of the French Church of St. Patrick and Dean of
Ferns, was serving as chaplain to Colonel Echlin's regiment. The list of French ministers of
Portarlington is, therefore, as follows : —

Jacques Gillet, 1694-1698.
Benjamin de Daillon, 1698-1702.
Antoine Ligonier de Bonneval, 1702-1728.
Theodore Desvorics, 1729-1739.
Gaspar Caillard, 1739-1767.
Antoine Vinchon Desvoeux, 1767-1792.
Jean Vignoles, 1793-1817.
Charles Vignoles, 1817-1841.
