'a somewhat tame organisation in this county'.5 During the 1890s the Hibernians were a small, exclusively Catholic, milifantly nationalist, working-class network concentrated on the eastern shore of Lough Neagh. By 1906-9 the Order had developed into the main adjunct of the constitu tional movement across Tyrone. This expansion took place under Joseph Devlin's stewardship as national president of the Board of Erin from July 1905 onwards. However, Devlin was largely reacting to an organic growth in Hibernianism that can be traced locally to the early 1890s.6 During this period, the local I.R.B, had 1 Leon ?

However, these Fenian instrumentalist tactics failed in the face of Devlin's seizure of control of the movement, and by November 1905 the Board of Erin had fifty-two branches in Tyrone. By the following May the number had risen to sixty-six, and by March 1907 there were seventy-nine branches in Tyrone, approximately half of which were in the Order's east Tyrone heartland.7 The Dungannon Clubs were formed by a young Belfast avant-garde infused with the ideas of the Gaelic revival and which sought to redirect the northern I.R.B, towards an open separatist campaign. Chief among their number were Denis McCullough, a piano tuner and son of a prominent Belfast Fenian, and Bulmer Hobson, a young Quaker inspired by the example of the United Irishman. Together, they 'decided to effectively purge the organisation ... and turn it into a voice capable of radical opinion in Belfast and beyond'. To this end, they adopted much of the Sinn Fein programme developed by Arthur Griffith, with a qualified acceptance of dual monarchy given that 'an Irish Republic' was the 'final aim'.8 Two other figures would assume prominence: Sean Mac Diarmada, a Leitrim-born Belfast tram worker, and Patrick McCartan, a returned American emigrant and medical student from Carrickmore, Tyrone. McCartan corresponded regularly with Joseph McGarrity, another Carrickmore native, who, having emigrated to Philadelphia, became the treasurer of Clan-na-Gael and exercised formidable influence over local and national republican politics throughout the period. The formation of the Dungannon Clubs should not be viewed solely as a rejection of traditional northern Fenian policy - a 'characteristically ill-co-ordinated complex of infiltration, subversion, resistance and association'.9 Ambition extended not only to the rehabilitation of northern Fenianism but also to the generation of wider support for Sinn Fein amongst Ulster nationalists. This article explores east Tyrone nationalist politics during the period 1906-9, demonstrating that at that point in time, conditions were not ripe for propelling the local nationalist majority to abandon constitutionalism in favour of the marginal republican alternative represented by the Dungannon Clubs. Between 1906 and 1909 the Belfast Dungannon Clubs used the local I.R.B, organisation to chal lenge constitutionalism's hegemony within east Tyrone nationalism. The resulting struggle highlighted popular ideology's crucial role in generating consensus, and offered insight into the nature of northern constitutionalism. It will also be argued that the struggle was indicative of the wider forces involved in contemporaneous Irish nationalist politics - in particular, the constitutional-nationalist leadership's attempts to reconcile popular expectation on both the land and national questions farmer and one 'scutcher': R.I.C.

The argu ments will be articulated through a theoretical framework in an effort to highlight effectively the forces at work within Irish nationalist politics. I David Fitzpatrick argues that a Redmondite leadership wedded solely to constitutional methods 'sounded the characteristic public roles of pre-war consti tutionalism': self-government within Britain, loyalty to the Empire, and equality among 'all classes and creeds'.10 Michael Wheatley views this as an elite 'Whig' and 'Buttite' tradition among 'many older, landed, and upper middle-class Catholic nationalists ... themselves assimilated into British life and culture'. Popular senti ment, by contrast, according to Wheatley, exhibited an aggressively nationalist character, with support for imperialism 'confined to a minority'.11 His findings emphasise a tension apparent in constitutionalism since O'Connell's ascendancy. To secure popular support for moderate and sectional interests, successive leader ships employed militant and quasi-separatist language. Often, this rhetoric sat uncomfortably with assimilative-leadership objectives. Arguably, Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony not only helps to explain what was happening in Irish politics at this time but also why this rhetorical ambiguity was necessary. Normally, hegemony - the process whereby the dominant class imposes a consensus, by largely peaceful means, within civil society - is exercised within the 'integral state', representing an 'equilibrium between political society and civil society'.12 This integral balance did not exist in Ireland.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • The Cobanes in Ireland by Shirley De Renzo
    The Cobanes in Ireland by Shirley De Renzo Family tradition passed down among the Cobanes in Ireland indicates the family had early origins on the European continent, most likely the country of France. They were said to be French Huguenots who fled the country because of religious persecution. Webster’s Dictionary describes Huguenots as, “French Protestants, adherent of a Swiss political movement begun in 1532 by Swiss political leader Besancon Hugues and active in the 16th and 17th centuries.” The original name of the Cobanes is said to have been De Gobienne, but over the years we have seen the surname spelled many different ways: Cobane, Cobeans, Cobain, Cabane and even Cobine. They are all believed to be of the same family. The Cobane family arrived on the eastern shores of Northern Ireland around the year 1640. They traveled up the Blackwater River and settled in the area of Aughnacloy, Ballygawley and Skey in the Parish of Carnteel. Records have been discovered which document the presence of Cobanes in Carnteel Parish in the mid-1700’s. There are two leases filed with the Registry of Deeds, the first of which is dated 13 January 1748 and the second 14 January 1748. The first document states that one Acheson Moore, Esq. who was then owner of all of Skey Townland, agreed to lease to Thomas, Joseph, and Samuel Cobane (Cobeans) sixty acres plantation measure for and during their natural lives for the yearly rent of twelve pounds six shillings sterling. The second lease was identical in text except that the grantees were John and James Cobane (Cobeans) for another sixty acre plot and was for the duration of the lives of the above two and for and during the natural life of John’s son, also named James, who was approximately two years of age at the time.

It was at such a meeting in a Dungannon restaurant that the idea was born to hold a school reunion and prepare a little book about the school and memories of the pupils who went to this seat of learning over the forty years its doors were open. The project began when the first two past pupils got two more to join them and so the Research Team began their work which ha s taken over a year to bring to completion. Now they are looking forward to the 10th.September 2004 when all the Past Pupils from home and abroad will gather in Quinn's Corner where many old acquaintances will meet and have an enjoyable night.
