  • Defending Ireland from the Irish: the Irish Executive’S Reaction to Transatlantic Fenianism 1864-68
    Defending Ireland from the Irish: The Irish Executive’s reaction to Transatlantic Fenianism 1864-68 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2017 Jerome Devitt Trinity College Dublin Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Signed: ________________________________________ Jerome Devitt July 2018 ii Summary This thesis examines the Irish Executive’s reaction to the threat posed by transatlantic Fenianism from the closing phase of the US Civil War to the end of Fenian activity in the year following the Fenian Rising of February and March 1867. It argues that the Fenian conspiracy was the catalyst for a substantial development in the Executive’s ability to assert its control throughout the country in the name of maintaining state security. Its central argument is that the government’s adoption of a policy of deterrence, combined with the systematic reform of the composition and distribution of military and constabulary forces on the island, at first delayed and later helped to suppress the abortive rising that eventually emerged. Although the periodization is narrow, the four years in question set in motion a security policy that would influence the governance of Ireland throughout the remainder of the century. The Executive’s response, however, was influenced not only by the suppression of the Young Ireland rising in 1848, but was also guided by a wide range of transnational influences.

  • Carrickfergus Walking Tours
    EXPERIENCE 150 0 YEARS IN ONE DAY CARRICKFERGUS WALKING TOURS FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS OF KINGS, KNIGHTS AND PRESIDENTS Illustration of Fergus from Les Vrais Pourtraits et Vies des Hommes Illustres by André Thevet (Paris, 1584) EARLY CARRICKFERGUS Carrickfergus’ history is both long and fascinating. It is one of the most excavated towns in Ireland, and objects unearthed during archaeological investigations show that there were pre-historic inhabitants in the region from as early as the Irish Mesolithic (7000–4000BC). Settlements of this period are likely to have been tribal and possibly temporary in nature, not the permanent village or town we are familiar with today. According to legend, the name Carrickfergus came from Fergus, reputedly the First King of Scotland. It is said he sailed home to Ulster in 501 A.D., in search of a cure for his leprosy from a healing well, believed to exist in this area. His ship foundered on the enormous basalt rock or “carraig” upon which the castle was later built and, from that point on, the rock was known as “Carraig-Fergus”. The body of Fergus was said to have washed ashore and he was buried in Monkstown Abbey, on the slopes of Knockagh Hill. Whilst it has proven difficult to determine the exact life story of Fergus Mór mac Eirc, (Great Fergus, son of Eirc), many historians acknowledge that he is an important historic figure, considered by many to be the “Father of Scotland”. The 131st High King of Ireland, Fergus ruled over Dál Riata, a Gaelic kingdom which included north- eastern Ulster and western Scotland.

The following year they were engaged in covering the siege of Hay, and the only British officer killed during this campaign was Captain Sacheverell of the 14th. In 1695 they were employed at various sieges, notably at that of Naniur, where, as Tidcombe's Foot, they "crowned themselves with glory ;" and throughout the later battles of that year they followed the dashing lead of the gallant Lord Cutts. For the following two or three years they were stationed in Ireland, whence, however, they sent detachments at various times to join the British army in Spain. When Prince Charles Edward made his attempt in 1715 the 14th were summoned to Scotland, and fought as Jaspar Clayton's Foot at Dunblane, and four years later at Glenshiel, where Captains Moore and Heighinton were wounded. In 1727 they went to Gibraltar, of which their Colonel, Jaspar Clayton, was Lieutenant-Governor, and assisted in its successful defence against the Spaniards, remaining there for several years. The 14th were not at Dettingen, but amongst those who fell there was their gallant Colonel, who was on the staff. They fought at Falkirk in 1746 as Price's Foot, and were in the first line in the division of General Cholmondcley.
