With 8 writers, 8 characters, and the audience moving through the space of Kilmainham Gaol, it can be hard to connect each character to their individual performance. The interjections in chapters one, two, and three of this thesis that appear in brackets and italics are my personal observations from the video recording provided by UCD.

Introduction: Prof. Vincent Comerford On Tuesday, 26 April 2016, I sat down with former head of History at Maynooth University, Professor Vincent Comerford, to chat about the current state of the discipline, about changes within history over time and the telling of Irish history, and about the centennial commemorations of Ireland’s 1916 Rising. Prof. Comerford is originally from Tipperary and came to Maynooth in 1962, where he studied for his undergraduate and Master’s degree. He then attended Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and earned his PhD with the guidance and supervision of T. W. Moody. Subsequently, he became a lecturer in History at Maynooth in 1977, and was appointed Professor of Modern History and head of department in 1989, remaining in post until his retirement in 2010. At Maynooth he supervised more than thirty PhD theses on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ireland, and oversaw a great expansion in the size of the History department and the scope of its activities. Professor Comerford’s bibliography includes: Charles J. Kickham: A Study in Irish Nationalism and Literature (1979); The Fenians in Context: Irish Politics and Society, 1848-82 (1985); and Ireland: Inventing the Nation (2003).

Their contribution adds tremendously to the worth of the thesis. I am indebted to the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University. The award of a PhD scholarship and continued support by all members of staff made the research possible. My supervisor, Dr Adam McAuley, dedicated copious hours to reviewing drafts and offering essential advice; the thesis would not be what it is today without him. Special thanks to Professor Philip Fennell and Dr Olivia Smith, having such experts examine the thesis was an honour.
