Hussey-Walsh Manuscripts Contents Hussey Walsh Index of Contents Some years ago Peter Manning, a longtime officer and fellow of the Society, undertook the mammoth task of indexing all names from the twelve volumes of the Library’s Hussey-Walsh manuscripts. He writes: The manuscripts contain transcripts from original Irish, English & French historical & genealogical material ranging from the twelfth to nineteenth centuries. The completed index contains reference to over 100,000 persons. The manuscripts, once belonging to Valentine John Hussey-Walsh (1862-1925) of Mulhussey, Co Roscommon (with two volumes attributed to Tenison Groves), contain a total of 2,883 handwritten pages, much of which was taken from original records later destroyed in the fire at the Public Record Office of Ireland in 1922. In addition to the index of names, Mr Manning also prepared a detailed list of contents, which appears below. While there is an emphasis on Co. Roscommon, each volume contains material which would be of general interest to all researchers. This Index of Contents has previously been published in a series of issues of the IGRS Newsletter.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

  • Savings Banks As an Institutional Import: the Case of Nineteenth-Century Ireland1
    Financial History Review 10 (2003), pp. 31–55. © 2003 Cambridge University Press. Printed in the United Kingdom DOI: S0968565003000027 Savings banks as an institutional import: the case of nineteenth-century Ireland1 CORMAC O´ GRA´ DA University College, Dublin For age and want save while you may No morning Sun lasts a whole day. (Tralee Savings Bank passbook, 1820s)2 The outline history of provident institutions or savings banks is well known. Part of an early nineteenth-century middle-class campaign to make the poor save more and, therefore, less reliant on public and private charity, they aimed to provide accountholders with security, liquidity and a generous return on deposits. Originating in lowland Scotland during the early 1810s, they quickly spread throughout the United Kingdom and as far as the United States. Their success prompted legislative approval; in the United Kingdom official subvention was also forthcoming.3 The new institution was first successfully transplanted to Ireland in January 1816 with the opening of the Belfast Savings Bank, and others were soon set up through- out the island. Diffusion was fastest during 1818 and 1819 and, by the mid-1820s, the Irish network had been essentially established. In late 1829 there were 73 savings banks. Of the 74 banks open in late 1846, 46 had been created in 1816–25, a further 21 in 1826–35 and only seven after 1836. Long-established banks best withstood the pressures of the late 1840s, described below. Of the 46 founded before 1826, six had 1 My particular thanks to Jim O’Shea for supplying a copy of his database of Thurles Savings Bank accountholders.

  • The Deerfoot of Dowras: John J. Daly (1880-1969)
    ‘The Deerfoot of Dowras’ John J. Daly, (1880 - 1969) By Padraig Stevens ©2012 Padraig Stevens ‘The Deerfoot of Dowras’. John J. Daly, (1880 - 1969) Athenry was bedecked with banners and bunting in August 2008 when local man Paul Hession competed in the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, reaching the semi-finals of the 200 metre sprint. His home town took pride in the achievements of the young medical student, the “fastest man in Ireland.” A little over one hundred years before Hession’s time, another local began his illustrious career in the same town. John James Daly, ‘The Deerfoot of Dowras’ claimed that his interest in athletics began at a sports meeting in Athenry when he had a go at the high jump. To quote from an interview printed in the Connacht Tribune on Sept. 13th 1958 “On that day, with two others from Corofin, he went to the sports in Athenry. Arriving in time to see the High Jump event won with a jump of 5 feet 2 inches, John Daly and some other young men present decided to see if they could beat the winning effort. Up he stepped and sprang over the bar, still at the height of the winning effort, but in coming back to mother earth the tail of his coat caught the bar and brought it down”. The young Corofin man was so enthused that he went home, dug a pit in one of the family fields and began practising the long jump and the hop, step and jump. His first competitive outing was at Mount Bellew sports in September 1900, where he won the high and broad jumps, also competing in the 440 yard sprint in which he got third place.

    “Why do People Become Dissident Irish Republicans?” John Morrison, University of St Andrews “A central tenet of the approach below is that our primary objective should be to understand those who engage in the behaviour. It is not our job to condemn, to condone or to find some objective ‘truth’.”1 Introduction The Northern Irish peace process is internationally recognised as being a success; however it is unmistakable that the Republican threat is still prominent across Ireland, both in the north and the south, as well as in Great Britain. In contrast to the ‘war’ waged by the Provisional IRA the foremost modern day threat to be faced is that posed by small violent dissident groupings, with little or no public support. These dissidents are utilising a different variety and combination of tactics and strategies from those of their Provisional predecessors. In recent years there has been the stated specific targeting of Catholic members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and members of the British armed forces. However alongside the threat to the security forces the dissidents are also targeting their former comrades in Sinn Fein and across ‘mainstream’ Republicanism. The armed dissident groups who epitomise this current threat are the Real IRA, the Continuity IRA and Oglaigh na hEireann. With the present and increasing danger posed by these groups it is more important than ever to achieve a greater understanding of the organisations involved as well as the motivations of their individual members. One facet which must clearly be acknowledged is the assessment of why individual Irish Republicans choose their organisational affiliation, in essence why they choose the violent dissident republican route as opposed to ‘mainstream’ or non-violent Republicanism.

  • Revolutionary Masculinities in the IRA, 1916-1923 Rebecca Mytton
    Revolutionary Masculinities in the IRA, 1916-1923 Rebecca Mytton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History January 2020 1 Abstract This thesis examines manly ideals and the experience of masculinity amongst members of the revolutionary Irish Republican Army from the Easter Rising of 1916 to the end of the Irish Civil War in 1923. Whilst the political convictions of these men and the detail of events they participated in have been researched widely, they have not been considered as gendered beings or as inhabitants of sexed bodies. The consistent ideal of martial manliness in the Irish Republican Army has been noted but insufficiently explored by historians, whilst the way that this ideal shaped individual men’s subjectivities, behaviours and experiences has been almost entirely overlooked. This thesis therefore constitutes the first attempt to examine the revolutionary experiences of the Volunteers as men. It firstly explores the consistent norms and ideals of martial manliness which were disseminated across Irish republican discourses, and then considers how those norms and ideals shaped the young revolutionaries’ conceptions, performances and depictions of their masculinity. Specifically, it examines the public presentation of manliness, the regulation and management of emotion, and the experience of brotherhood and male friendship. To do so, the thesis draws primarily on the ego documents – the letters, diaries, memoirs, and other retrospective accounts – of actively engaged Volunteers. These sources are read alongside contemporary public sources in order to ascertain how the pressure to live up to a particular model of military masculinity manifested in the actions, appearances and recollections of IRA soldiers.
