  • The Marian Year Jubilee
    The Marian Year Jubilee 1954 – 2004 Limerick’s contribution to a celebration of Faith Foreword The earliest apparition of the Blessed Virgin is said to be as early as 40 AD, probably before she died, to James the Apostle in Saragossa, Spain. There have been numerous apparitions since then, but the first in Ireland was on August 21st, 1879, in Knock, County Mayo. Margaret Beirne and thirteen others saw a beautiful woman, clothed in white gar- ments, wearing a large brilliant crown. County Mayo had suffered great distress in the 1870s. Partial famine, poverty and forced evictions had created another wave of Irish emigration. It was in this environment that the apparition occurred. The Church’s response to the apparition was typically circumspect. The Archbishop Most Rev. Dr. John MacHale set up a commission to gather testimonies of those claiming to see the apparition and then a record of purported cures was maintained until 1936. The Commission reported that their evidence was “trustworthy and satisfactory”. The Report was published in the newspapers and pilgrims began to travel from afar. One of the first organised pilgrimages to Knock Shrine came from Limerick. Further reports of cures to Limerick people strengthened the connection with Knock. On June 5th 1880 The Munster News reported the story of a woman from Shanagolden, County Limerick, “who arrived in Kilrush to take the steamer across the Shannon on her way home from Knock. Having lost her sight some years previously she had walked all the way to Knock with her young son and during her stay there, recovered her sight.

  • The Black and Tans: British Police in the First Irish War, 1920-21
    THE BLACK AND TANS THE BLACK AND TANS: BRITISH POLICE IN THE FIRST IRISH WAR, 1920-21 By DAVID LEESON, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by David Leeson, August 2003 11 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Black and Tans: British Police in the First Irish War, 1920-21 AUTHOR: David Leeson, B.A., M.A. SUPERVISOR: Professor R. A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: 264 lll ABSTRACT Over ten thousand Britons fought as police in the First Irish War ( 1920-21 ). Most of these British police were ex-soldiers, veterans of the Great War and members of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RfC), called 'Black and Tans' for their mixed uniforms of dark police green and military khaki. Ex-officers joined a separate force, the Auxiliary Division (ADRIC), a special emergency gendarmerie, heavily armed and organized in military-style companies. Pitted against the guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries took many 'reprisals', assassinating Irish republicans and burning their homes and shops. As a consequence, their name became a byword for crime and violence, and the spectre of 'black-and-tannery' has haunted Ireland ever since. This dissertation uses evidence from both British and Irish archives and from British newspapers to study the British police and their behaviour in the First Irish War. According to legend the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries were ex-convicts and psychopaths, hardened by prison and crazed by war.

On the structure of wealth-holding in pre-Famine Ireland1 Neil Cummins and Cormac Ó Gráda Keywords: inequality, wealth, Ireland JEL: N13, D31 Abstract Very little is known about wealth-holding and its distribution in Ireland in the past. Here we employ death duty register data to analyse and identify a sample of the top wealth holders in Ireland between the early 1820s and late 1830s. We examine the sources of their wealth and its regional spread, and compare them with their British counterparts. We also discuss the share of Catholics and Quakers among top wealth-holders. Introduction It seems safe to say that pre-Famine Ireland was a very unequal society, even by contemporary western European standards. Although in recent decades researchers have drawn attention to a previously ‘hidden Ireland’ of strong farmers and of a Catholic merchant class (e.g. Wall 1958; Whelan 1988; Cullen 2012), the chasm between the relatively small number of landowners who owned virtually all the land and the three million of so rural dwellers who relied almost solely on the potato for subsistence resonates more of serfdom than of industrialising Britain. Still, little is known about the wealth of the elite, and even contemporary Irish critics of wealth inequality in pre-Famine Ireland, such as William Thompson and Feargus O’Connor, had little insight into how great that inequality was (D’Arcy 1994; Large 1966).
