    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT MICHAEL DWYER Papers, 1838-1905 Reel M603 National Library of Ireland Kildare Street Dublin 2 Ireland National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1966 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Michael Dwyer (1772?-1825) was born at Camera, County Wicklow, and worked as an ostler and farm hand. In 1897 he joined the Society of United Irishmen and when rebellion broke out in Wicklow in 1898 he was one of the militants. In 1803 he supported the attempted coup d’etat of Robert Emmet. With his whole family facing transportation, Dwyer surrendered in December 1803, was gaoled, and in 1805 was transported to New South Wales as an unsentenced exile. He arrived in the colony in February 1806 and was granted 100 acres facing Cabramatta Creek. In 1807 he was arrested and tried for sedition and sent to Norfolk Island and later Van Diemen’s Land. He returned to New South Wales in 1809 and subsequently became constable of the Georges River district. In 1820 he was briefly chief constable of Liverpool. In 1898 Dwyer’s body was exhumed and, in the presence of tens of thousands of Irish-Australians, he was buried in Waverley Cemetery in Sydney. Luke Cullen (1793-1859) was a seaman before joining the Third Order of Discalced Carmelites in 1838. He was a free school teacher at the monastery of Mount St Joseph at Clondalkin, near Dublin. Brother Cullen spent much of his later years travelling round the Wexford-Wicklow border area collecting the memoirs of survivors of the 1798 Rebellion.

  • Glasnevin Museum Information on Ireland and Its Society Contained Both in the Ground and in Our History Archives
    It is my great pleasure as the CEO of Glasnevin Trust and as a parent of both wprimary eand secondarylcome level children to invite ..you to. Glasnevin Cemetery, our new museum and all that is contained within and around it. Glasnevin Cemetery, “Ireland’s Necropolis”, is a wondrous place, which over the many years I have worked here, never ceases to amaze surprise and delight me. Containing as it does some 200 years of Ireland’s social, political, military, artistic and sporting histories – we are only a handshake away from Ireland’s great leaders such as Daniel O’Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, Michael Collins, Éamon de Valera and Countess Markievicz. Intermingled with Ireland’s great statesmen lie the poorest and humblest of Irish society - Angels, the famine burial ground, those who died in extreme poverty of small pox, cholera, diphtheria and flu – diseases that today a trip to the chemist or indeed supermarket would cure. ...bringing Glasnevin Cemetery is a truly amazing and sacred place, containing our ancestors or grand and great grandparents. After over twenty years working here, every day brings new surprising little nuggets of information that can delight, sadden or enlighten the visitor. I hope you enjoy your visit to Glasnevin Cemetery, we have a vast wealth of Glasnevin Museum information on Ireland and its society contained both in the ground and in our history archives.

  • GLASNEVIN CEMETERY BEING a RECORD of IRELAND's Hcflqms DEAD in DUBLIN CITY and COUNTY ALSO V LACES of HISTORIC INTEREST
    THE GLASNEVIN CEMETERY BEING A RECORD OF IRELAND'S HcflQMS DEAD IN DUBLIN CITY AND COUNTY ALSO V LACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST PRICE b|? NATIONAL GRAVES ASSOCIATION, 41 PARNELL SQUARE. FOREWORD The National Graves Association deserves praise and congratulations for its effort in making available this permanent record of Patriot Graves in and around Dub­ lin, and of the places where many met their deaths in the struggle for national liberty. It is to be hoped that this initial effort is the first instalment of what will be a permanent All-Ireland record. The work deserves the fullest support of all who wish the sacrifices made to be properly recorded, ‘ and it is certain to receive due recognition, not only in Ireland, but amongst our people abroad. I would appeal especially to Eepublicans to give this project their active support. While we profess a reverence for the names and memories of our heroes and martyrs, we sometimes fall short in giving positive evidence of this feeling, as is shown by neglect of many of their resting-places, or of the spots where they met their deaths at the hands of the enemy. Many of the graves of our National Dead are unmarked; some are only vaguely known, while others are entirely unknown. The graves of the soldiers of the Eepublic of Ireland, who gave their lives in recent times, are sometimes untended. Such neglect is contrary to the general belief which credits us with great reverence for our dead. This is a lapse from duty which the National Graves Association is seeking to have remedied.

  • Robert Emmet, by Dion Boucicault, 1884
    1 Robert Emmet, by Dion Boucicault, 1884. A Drama in Four Acts Entitled Robert Emmet A faithful history of a young Irish gentleman who sought the fat of those enthusiasts destined to bear upward and onward “the banner with the strange device.” The first appearance of Robert Emmet before the world was on July 23rd, in the year 1803. He lived for 69 days. His career was completed within that period. He died on September 20th, aged 26. We possess records of what took place during those sixty-nine days. His private correspondences, his adventures, his speeches, his conversations with friends, have been preserved. I have read them all. This play is simply composed of the incidents that occurred during this brief but eventual period, nothing added, but what is necessary to shape the matter into a perspicuous and dramatic form. The characters are untouched photographs of the originals. The language, especially that of Emmet, has been as far as possible preserved, and the sentiments put into his mouth are ascribed to him by those who know him well. It all happened so recently that we seem to reach him with our lives. My father, S. Boucicault, of Bachelor’s Walk, Dublin, was one of his associates, and the house in which twenty years afterwards I was born, was amongst many others, searched for the fugitive rebel. The severest judges of Robert Emmet, those who condemned his objects and abhorred his political aims and principles, have testified freely to the purity of his motives and to the heroic romance of his character.
