My people were farmers. 1914. I joined the National Volunteers at the inception of the Movement in Araglin in May, 1914. There had been no branch of the Volunteers, as such prior to this in our locality. There was not, to ray knowledge, any election of Officers, although we had a strength of fifty to sixty Volunteers after some months. A lad named Jerry Mulvey was one of the recognised local leaders at the time. Weekly parades were held mostly on Sundays, when an ex- soldier from Kilworth used to visit us regularly as a training instructor. These training parades were mostly confined to foot drill and open formations and extended order drills. We had no arms at this period, although some of individual farmers' - sons had shot-guns their own property. This training continued regularly for several months, until shortly after the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, but on the Sunday following John Redmond's speech in Woodenbridge I went along to a place called The Lawn where half our lads used to train, and found no one present.

  • 5/1 Chapter 5 the SOUTH-WEST Counties East, South and North-West CORK -- KERRY -- West LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island T
    Chapter 5 THE SOUTH-WEST counties East, south and north-west CORK -- KERRY -- west LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, visitors to Ireland from Britain and the Continent were appalled at the poverty of its people, and wondered at this because so much of the land was fertile. There were many reasons for the destitution, so many that Frank O'Connor neatly sidesteps them -- but he is in little doubt of the main reason: ignorance of the true condition of Ireland, on the part of its distant government, because of the difficulties involved in visiting it [1] : Books about a country usually begin with its history. Books about Ireland which do this tend to remain unread. The misunderstandings are too many... Ultimately, perhaps, all the misunderstandings can be traced to sixty miles of salt water which stretches between Britain and Ireland. O'Connor was writing in the 1940s. Mr & Mrs Hall begin their vast, chatty, obsequious (to the English reader) but well-intentioned three-volume Ireland , a hundred years earlier (1841), with a long description of the purgatory of a pre-steam crossing to Cork.
