Biographical Note on Seán T. Ó Ceallaigh (1882-1966)

Seán Thomas Ó Ceallaigh (O’Kelly) was born in in 1882, eldest son of Samuel and Catherine O’Kelly. His Christian Brothers education left him with a love of Irish and in 1898 he joined the Gaelic League. That year also saw him become a junior assistant at the National Library of Ireland, a post from which he later resigned, despite the influence of T.W. Lyster, deciding that holding a position under the British government was anathema to his separatist views.

He subsequently worked for the Gaelic League paper, An Claideamh Soluis, and for papers owned by , and in 1915 he became national secretary of the Gaelic League. His close friendship with Griffith was to last until the Treaty split. Ó Ceallaigh joined the IRB in 1901 and in 1905 he was a founder member of Sinn Féin, becoming a Sinn Féin member of Dublin Corporation for Inns Quay Ward in 1906 and joint secretary in 1908.

He was also a founder member of the and supervised the landing of arms at Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow, in August 1914. His revolutionary activities were continued the following year when he was sent to the US on an IRB mission to secure funds from . During Easter Week he acted as staff officer and aide-de-camp to Pearse. He was stationed at the GPO and spent much of the Rising reporting on the advance of the British forces, as well as pasting copies of the Proclamation around the city centre. On Friday of Easter Week he received a flesh wound to the left leg. After the failure of the Rising and his arrest, he was eventually sent to Wandsworth prison in London, his court martial being repeatedly delayed through the influence of Archbishop William Walsh. He was later transferred to Woking military prison, Frongoch internment camp in , and Reading jail, from which he was released in December 1916. His life in prison is detailed in his letters below, as is his frustration at the numerous transfers.

After returning to Ireland his renewed Volunteer activities resulted in his second arrest and deportation, firstly to Oxford and then to Fairford, Gloucestershire. He later left Fairford without permission and came back to Ireland. After the amnesty in July 1917 he resumed public activities and took an active role in the reorganisation of Sinn Féin and its electoral campaigns. Ó Ceallaigh was one of the few who escaped arrest after the 1918 and as a result became acting chair of the Sinn Féin national executive and acting director of organisation. He produced the first draft of the party’s 1918 general election manifesto, revised the original democratic programme of the first Dáil, which was seen as too socialist, and was elected (speaker). It was also in this year that he married Mary-Kate (known as Kate, Kit or Cáit) Ryan of Tomcoole, Taghmon, Co. Wexford.

His attempt to represent the Dáil at the Paris Peace Conference as envoy of Ireland failed but he nevertheless remained in Paris until 1922. His diplomatic

3 experiences in Rome proved to be more successful when in April 1920 he was given a private audience with Benedict XV, to whom he argued the Sinn Féin case; he later accredited this as the reason Benedict XV never issued a formal condemnation of IRA violence. This was not the first time he had addressed a Pope. In 1908 he had presented an address in Irish to Pope Pius X on behalf of Dublin Corporation. His diplomatic mission was given a further boost the following month when he hosted a reception at the Irish college to mark the beatification of Oliver Plunkett. With most Irish Bishops attending, this was seen as a semi-formal recognition of Ó Ceallaigh’s position as representative of the .

Following the truce, Ó Ceallaigh immediately denounced the Anglo-Irish Treaty and acted as Chief Whip to the anti-treaty TDs during the Dáil debate. He supervised Republican press propaganda and after the outbreak of the Civil War he was arrested and detained, mostly in Gormanston internment camp, until December 1923. The duality of Irish politics between the Free State government and the anti-treaty Republican Dáil is reflected in the collection below and this is especially evident in Ó Ceallaigh’s mission as envoy to the US, 1924-1927. While he stated that his work in Washington would be similar to that done by other diplomats by representing his country socially and politically, this situation was complicated by the fact that the Free State had already sent over their diplomat, Timothy A. Smiddy, whose official status was recognized by the American President. During this time he was also a founding vice-president of Fianna Fáil and in 1927 became editor of The Nation, the party’s paper.

After the coming to power of Fianna Fáil in 1932, Ó Ceallaigh became vice- president of the executive council (1932-1937) and Tánaiste (1938-1945), and was ostensibly de Valera’s second-in-command. As such, he represented Ireland on several occasions, including the 1933 Commonwealth Conference at Ottawa. The many months he spent away from Ireland can be seen in his correspondence, firstly with Kate and then with his second wife, Phyllis. In 1932 Ó Ceallaigh became Minister for Public Health and Local Government, during which time a major slum clearance and house-building programme was developed. This proved to be a significant factor in working-class support for Fianna Fáil. He was appointed Minister for Finance in 1939, a role which saw conflict with .

On 16 June 1945 Ó Ceallaigh won the first contested presidential election, defeating Seán MacEoin () and Patrick McCartan (Independent)1. At this time he had been married to Phyllis Ryan, sister of Kate, since 1936, after Kate’s death in 1934. With her help his presidency was a popular one and he was elected again unopposed in 1952. With the Act 1949, the was recognised as the head of state. As a result Ó Ceallaigh was now able to make formal visits abroad and diplomats had to present their credentials to Áras an Uachtaráin. On his formal visits he received several orders and decorations, such as the Gold Collar of the Pian Order from the Vatican. After his retirement from office he was replaced by Éamon de Valera on the 25 June 1959.

1 MacCartin later went on to become a founder member of .

4 His presidency can be seen as a successful one. He benefited from his image as an ordinary Dubliner and was thought of fondly by many people. Ó Ceallaigh was a devout Catholic, as can be seen in his correspondence and in some of the policies he favored as Minister. He retired to his home in , Co. Wicklow with Phyllis and in 1961 gave a series of radio talks about his early life and the Independent movement, which was later translated into Irish and published as Seán T. He died 23 November 1966 and is buried at Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.

Biographical Note on the Ryans of Tomcoole

While this collection is based primarily on papers relating to Seán T. Ó Ceallaigh, a significant portion is necessarily devoted to his second wife, Phyllis, most specifically her correspondence. Similarly a large part of Ó Ceallaigh’s correspondence is with his first wife, Kate, Phyllis’s older sister. As a result this collection deals in detail with his wives’ family, the Ryans of Tomcoole, Taghmon, Co. Wexford.

Philomena (Phyllis) Bean Úi Cheallaigh (née Ryan) (1895-1983) was remarkable in her profession. Having studied at Loreto Abbey, Gorey, she entered UCD to study science, obtaining a B.Sc. in chemistry in 1916 and a M.Sc. by research in 1917. She was the only woman scientist of her year and the fifth woman scientist to graduate from the NUI since its foundation. She subsequently worked with Professor Hugh Ryan with whom she published several papers. She moved to London for some time and trained as a public analyst. After returning to Dublin, she set up a private practice in 1925 and employed women graduate chemists. This proved to be a difficult task with Phyllis working twenty-hour days to make enough money for equipment, gas and water pipes. Eventually, however, she was made public analyst for twelve county councils and remained the only woman public analyst in Ireland for many years. As with other members of her family she was involved in the Republican movement. She and her sister Josephine (Min) were messengers in the GPO during Easter Week. Later she joined Cumann na mBan and became an enthusiastic member during the War of Independence. After Ó Ceallaigh became president she gave up her business and concentrated on Áras an Uachtaráin and her extended family. She died in November 1983.

Kate (1878-1934) was equally remarkable. Like her sisters, she was educated at Loreto College. Graduating six years before the Universities Act which gave men and women an equal footing in education, Kate graduated from Loreto College with first class honours. She then taught in various European destinations, despite a lack of money, a heavy workload and loneliness. Her battle with inequality continued when she moved to Cambridge to train as a teacher. While women could attend lectures and sit exams they were not eligible for degrees until 1948. Despite this, after graduating Kate found various teaching positions in Scotland and England. After returning to Ireland she became an Assistant in French in Ireland’s new National University in 1910. She took on the duties of the Department Head when he fell seriously ill in 1913. When he died the following year the war had just broken out and it became impossible to find a replacement. As a result, Kate took on his role and responsibilities with great success for the remainder of

5 the war. She took part in Easter 1916 and was afterwards arrested for some weeks. After her marriage to Ó Ceallaigh in 1918 she retained her position as Lecturer and under her influence Ó Ceallaigh became proficient in French, a skill which played a significant part in his diplomatic efforts. During the following years she continued to devote her energy to the Republican cause. Her correspondence mentions her failing health for some years before she died at Bad Nauheim, , in 1934.

The Ryans of Tomcoole, Co. Wexford, were well known in Republican circles. From the earliest days of the Volunteers their home was a centre of political activity, with Seán Mac Diarmada and others frequent visitors. John and Elizabeth Ryan had twelve children. During Easter 1916 James Ryan was a medical student and was appointed chief medical officer to the GPO. After the surrender he was arrested and sent to Frongoch until August 1916. He went on to become Fianna Fáil Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Health and Social Welfare, and Minister for Finance. Nelly also took an active role in the Rising and was arrested for a number of weeks too. She continued to be an enthusiastic and forceful supporter of the Republican cause in the following years. Mary Josephine (Min) went on to marry , although as Seán Mac Diarmada wrote to his brothers and sisters on the eve of his execution, had he lived, she would in all probability have been his wife. Agnes married Denis McCullough, prominent member of the IRB, while Chris married Michael J. O’Malley, Professor of Surgery in UCG. Two children joined religious orders: Martin became a priest and Joanna joined the Loreto Order and eventually became Mother Stanislaus. The other children were Liz, John and Michael, as well as Kate and Phyllis. As with many families, bitter division followed the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, with Ryans such as James, Nelly, Kate and Phyllis ardently anti-Treaty and Agnes and Min in support of it. This generation and the next played a prominent part in the below correspondence of Ó Ceallaigh, Kate and Phyllis.
