  • The O'keeffes of Glenough by Robert O'keeffe Nora O'keeffe Was Born In
    The O’Keeffes of Glenough by Robert O’Keeffe Nora O’Keeffe was born in Glenough, Rossmore Co. Tipperary in 1885, and was one of 12 children. The family were steeped in the nationalist tradition and her father, Dan, was a Nationalist Justice of Peace and a respected nationalist figure locally. There are uncorroborated stories of involvement in the Fenian outbreak of 1867 (Fr Denis Matthew O’Keeffe’s history). Nora emigrated to the US in 1909 and worked as a typist/stenographer. She appears to have returned to Ireland in 1918/9 along with her brother Patrick. During her time in the US she appears to have met Margaret Skinnider with whom it is thought she had a life long same sex relationship. (McAuliffe) She became active with Cumann na mBan and was among those listed in Bureau of Military History statements as having dispersed the gelignite from the Sologheadbeg ambush across the Brigade area. The younger members of the family seem to have immersed themselves in the national struggle at this time. This was probably due in no small part to the presence in the locality of staunch Republicans such as Fr Matt Ryan of Knockavilla, Eamonn O’Duibhir of Ballagh and the Irish teacher, Padraig Breathnach. The house at Glenough was used as a safe house and also played host to brigade meetings. The “Big Four” of Robinson, Breen, Treacy and Hogan were regular visitors as was Ernie O’Malley. O’Malley mentions the family in his autobiography “On another man’s wound” and also in his book “Raids and Rallies”.

His publications include a book on religion in America and Canada, The Conscience of the State in North America, The Early Development of Irish Society, Anti-Catholicism in 'Victorian England and The Catholic Church and Ireland. Edward Norman also contributes articles on religious topics to the Spectator. Preface to the Pelican Edition This book is intended as an introduction to the political history of Ireland in modern times. It was commissioned - and most of it was actually written - before the present disturbances fell upon the country. It was unfortunate that its publication in 1971 coincided with a moment of extreme controversy, be¬ cause it was intended to provide a cool look at the unhappy divisions of Ireland. Instead of assuming the structure of interpretation imposed by writers soaked in Irish national feeling, or dependent upon them, the book tried to consider Ireland’s political development as a part of the general evolu¬ tion of British politics in the last two hundred years.

  • Divided Loyalties: the Royal Irish Constabulary in County Tipperary, 1919-22
    Divided loyalties: the Royal Irish Constabulary in county Tipperary, 1919-22 By John Reynolds Thesis completed under the supervision of Dr. John Logan in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Limerick April 2013 i Declaration This thesis is written to meet the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. It is entirely my own work and has not been submitted to any other university or higher institution. Where the work of other people has been used it has been fully referenced and acknowledged. ______________________ John Reynolds April, 2013 ii Abstract The period from 1913 to 1921 in Ireland saw the rise of militant nationalism, the 1916 Rising, the Anglo-Irish conflict and the Civil War. Integral to these events were the men of the Royal Irish Constabulary. The force had already policed Ireland for over a century when the IRA campaign against it began in January 1919 with the Soloheadbeg ambush. During that time the RIC had evolved into an indigenous civil police force which routinely patrolled without arms. Between 1919 and 1922, 493 members of the RIC were killed and hundreds more injured as the force bore the brunt of the IRA campaign. Forty six policemen died in county Tipperary alone, making it one of most violent counties in Ireland, within the most violent province, Munster. When the conflict ended, the RIC was completely disbanded at its own insistence, and thousands of former policemen faced uncertain futures. Many chose assisted emigration while others opted to remain in Ireland, living in relative anonymity.

On Saturday, 8th November, 1913, an article appeared in An Claidheamh Solus and the Leader, advocating the formation of Volunteer Corps. On Saturday, November 15th, 1913, The Evening Telegraph published a news item that a movement was on foot for the formation of a Volunteer Corps. On November 19th, 1913, an advertisement appeared, announcing a meeting to be held in the Round Room, Rotunda, on Tuesday, 25th November, 1913, for the purpose of forming a "All citizens are invited to attend. Volunteer Corps. Further Announcements later." The feelings aroused among the Nationalist population of the City and County of Dublin by the above population were indescribable. In business houses, workshops, offices and various professions, a feeling of comradeship which never previously existed sprung up. Men who had only a nodding acquaintance shook hands when they met in the street. The young men clicked their heels when they met their pals and actually hugged and pulled each other around: all were joining up. Would Tuesday ever come? "A soldier's life is the life for me, A soldier's life so Ireland's free." The Home Rule Bill was being debated in the House of Commons, and let it be understood that outside of the professional politicians, Home Rule meant to the 2.
