I remained with that company until 1918 when I moved to Ballineen, where I joined the local company under Company Captain Timothy Francis. Warren. Shortly after joining the company I was appointed Company Adjutant. During 1918 and the early days of 1919 the company was. being trained and in 1918 we had preparations made. to resist conscription. I attended meetings of the Battalion Council (Dunmanway Battalion) along with the Company Captain. The Battalion Council discussed the organisation and training in each company area. In May, 1919, the Ballineen Company destroyed Kenniegh R.I.C. barracks. which had been vacated by the garrison.. Orders were issued by the brigade through each battalion that the local R.I.C. garrison was to be boycotted by all persons in the area. This order applied to traders, who were requested to stop supplying the R.I.C. All the traders obeyed the order, with the exception of one firm, Alfred Cotters, Ballineen, who continued to supply the R.I.C. with bread. The whole family were anti-Irish and the R.I.C.

  • Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick by Alan O'driscoll and Brian Hodkinson
    Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick By Alan O'Driscoll and Brian Hodkinson The following was commenced by Alan O’Driscoll (AOD) while on a work placement in Limerick Museum in the autumn of 2012 and continued by Brian Hodkinson. It is a continuation of the Who was who in medieval Limerick, which can also be found on the Limerick Museum website. It straddles the period c 1540 to c 1700, so some figures may appear in both databases. It is compiled for the most part by using the indexes of the various sources using Limerick as the search term. However, it has been noted that these indexes are often not comprehensive, and so when sources are available online, then a scroll through the text highlighting Limerick has produced entries not in the index. Such scrolling has also found entries where place names are abviously Limerick ones but Limerick does not appear as a word, e.g. in Fiants and CPCRCI. So while I (BJH) like to think it is comprehensive, it may not be. Notes. • Where two similar names are believed to be the same person, the entries are combined. However, many repeated names appear in the same lists (particularly in the Civil Survey). Where this occurs and/or the two persons are listed as coming from a different location, they are separated, even if they are recorded at the same time. There are a great many repeated full names, such as William Bourke, and it has proved practically impossible to be sure of which of these are different people.

Statement by Tom Hales, Knocknacurra, Bandon, Co. Cork. Dated Undated. On National Activities 1907 - 1913. Ballinadee Coy. I.V., 1914 - 1916. - 5 pp. - Typescript F'scap. File S.289. STATEMENT OF TOM HALES, KNOCKACURRA, BANDON, CO. CORK. PERIOD: 1907 to early 1917. PRINCIPAL UNIT: BALLINADEE C0MPAMY, I.V. Ballinadee Company was the first Unit of Irish Volunteers to be organised in West Cork. At all times up to Easter, 1916, it was the leading Company in strength, in arms, in discipline and in organisation. At the same time that its officers were perfecting their own organisation they took the lead in building up and. developing other Volunteer Companies in neighbouring districts, and their example and leader ship were mainly responsible for the formation of many Companies from Ballinhassig to Clonakilty and from Kilbrittan to Belliaeen. To Ballinadee all these Companies looked for guidance and help with the problems of their formative period, as well as for assistance in their training. The men of Ballinadee who gave such an inspiring lead to West Cork were animated by the traditional Fenian spirit and doctrine, which had been handed down to us by my father, Robert Hales, and other older men from 1900 onwards. The spirit of the Land League days lived on in the district and it was revived in 1907 when the fight against the local landlords reached peak point. In that year attempted seizures of cattle by the Sherriff were an every-day occurrence.
