    The Banshee’s Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and the All for Ireland League. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Patrick Joseph Murphy. August 2019 1 The Banshee’s Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and the All for Ireland League. ABSTRACT Historians have frequently portrayed constitutional nationalism as being homogeneous - ‘the Home Rule movement’- after the reunification of the Irish parliamentary party in 1900. Yet there were elements of nationalist heterodoxy all over the country, but it was only in Cork where dissent took an organised form in the only formal breakaway from the Irish party when the All for Ireland League (A.F.I.L.) was launched in 1910. The AFIL took eight of the nine parliamentary seats in Cork and gained control of local government in the city and county the following year. Existing historical accounts do not adequately explain why support for the Home Rule movement collapsed in Cork, but also why the AFIL flourished there but failed, despite the aspiration of its name, to expand beyond its regional base. The AFIL is chiefly remembered for its visionary policy of conciliation with unionists following the Damascene conversion of its leader William O’Brien, transformed from the enemy of the landed classes to an apostle of a new kind of bi- confessional politics. This would, he claimed, end the ‘Banshee’s Kiss’, a cycle of conflict in which each new generation attempts to achieve Irish freedom. However, conciliation was a policy which was unpopular with both nationalists and unionists and O’Brien therefore needed to develop an electoral base by other means with more popular policies.

    Millstreet—The Cockpit of Ireland

    "MILLSTREET- THE COCKPIT OF IRELAND" ISBN I 903497 05 1 Aubane Historical Society Aubane, Millstreet, Co. Cork, 2002. 1 CONTENTS This is another collection of miscellaneous items relating to Millstreet over a period that crosses three centuries with the major part consisting of an almost verbatim report of a meeting in Millstreet on 3 April 1910 by the leading members of the All-for-Ireland League (AIL), William O'Brien, D D Sheehan, Maurice Healy and others. They outline their policies of the day and the philosophy of the AIL along with trenchant views on their opponents, nationally and locally. It is an interesting mixture of local and national politics of the time. Maurice Healy's speech is of particular interest to Millstreet readers as he was obviously very familiar with Millstreet in an earlier period when it was, as he says, "the cockpit of Ireland" in the national struggle. The collection includes accounts by four visitors who provide very interesting descriptions of the day to day life in the town on various occasions. Some of the activities have not changed much across centuries. I am grateful to Monsignor Manning, P.P. VG., for his translation of the lament for Diarmuid McCarthy of Rathduane and the introduction to it from the 'Eigse' magazine of 1939. This lament was published in 'Seanchas Duthalla' in 1991 with very useful background information on the McCarthys of Rathroe and Rathduane by Der Kiely. There is also a poem on how the town received the Earl Spencer on 5 August 1884 when he visited the 'disturbed areas' of Kerry which illustrates very well the attitude of the people to the government of the day in the middle of the Land War.

    m w NUI MAYNOOTH OllftetJl «a fcili'Mfirt Hi Muad LAND AND POPULAR POLITICS IN COUNTY KERRY, 1872-86 by DONNACHA SEAN LUCEY, M.A. THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF Ph.D. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Supervisor of research: Professor R. V. Comerford JUNE 2007 Abstract This thesis explores the issues of land and popular politics at a regional level concentrating on county Kerry between 1872 and 1886. This was a period which witnessed salient political, social and economic transformations within Ireland and particularly in Kerry. In 1872 landlordism appeared to have had a hegemonic control over large areas of agrarian and political matters. Local government, parliamentary politics and land ownership were firmly within the control of the gentry. By 1886 this had irrevocably altered. Successive land legislation had removed much of the landlord’s control over rent and the principle of a peasant proprietorship was largely accepted if not established. During the period Irish nationalism underwent one of its most formative eras in which it developed into the dominant political force in southern Ireland. In examining these processes in county Kerry, this work has analysed the objectives, social composition and activities of various political and agrarian movements. In particular the Kerry Tenants Defence Association of the 1870s, Land League (1879- 82) and Irish National League (1882-86) are examined. The work highlights continuities and differences between the movements to provide an in-depth analysis of agrarian and popular political activity in the county.
