  • The O'mara Papers P40 Volume 1
    The O’Mara Papers P40 Volume 1 University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The O’Mara Papers Reference Code: IE 2135 P40 Title: The O’Mara Papers Dates of Creation: 1843-1991 (predominant 1916-1959) Level of Description: Fonds Extent and Medium: 30 boxes, 2 outsize boxes, 1 photograph box, 37 outsize items (1,000 files) CONTEXT Name of Creator(s): O’Mara family of Strand House, Limerick; and O’Brien family of Boru House, Limerick. Administrative and Biographical History: O’Mara’s Bacon Company was founded in 1839 by James O’Meara (1817-1899), who originated from the village of Toomevaara in county Tipperary. Having worked for some years in the woollen mills in Clonmel, he got a job as a clerk with Matterson’s Bacon Factory in Limerick and in 1839 founded O’Mara’s Bacon Company in his house on Mungret Street. It is said that he dropped the ‘e’ from his surname as he felt that O’Meara was too long for commercial purposes. James initially sold for Matterson’s but soon began to cure his own bacon in the basement of his house. As his business grew, he acquired dedicated premises for the purpose near the top of Roche’s Street. In 1841, James O’Mara married Honora Fowley (d. 1878), who worked in the bacon business alongside her husband. A devoted nationalist, James was one of the early supporters of Isaac Butt’s Home Rule movement. He was High Sheriff of Limerick City in 1887, and acted as Town Councillor on Limerick Corporation at least from 1888 to 1898.

  • The Anglo-Irish Truce of 11 July 1921 Which Brought a Formal Conclusion to the Irish War of Independence
    University of Limerick Ollscoil Luimnigh The Anglo - Irish Truce: An analysis of its immediate military impact, 8 - 11 July 1921 Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc Ph.D. 2014 University of Limerick Ollscoil Luimnigh The Anglo - Irish Truce: An analysis of its immediate military impact, 8 - 11 July 1921 Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc Thesis presented to the University of Limerick for the award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Dr. Ruán O’Donnell Submitted to the University of Limerick, September 2014 Abstract This thesis is a study of the dynamics of the Anglo-Irish Truce of 11 July 1921 which brought a formal conclusion to the Irish War of Independence. Although this work explores the origins, character and significance of the agreement, its primary focus is an analysis of the effect the announcement the impending armistice had on the use of lethal violence in the final days and hours of the conflict. It uses empirical data to interrogate existing hypotheses, and test popular theories surrounding the cessation of the Irish Republican Army’s military campaign. Furthermore, it examines in detail the hitherto neglected subject of the reaction and responses of the British forces in Ireland to the agreement. This study also establishes the role the advent of the Truce played in fomenting ‘Belfast’s Bloody Sunday’, one of the most intense outbreaks of sectarian violence in modern Irish history. This thesis addresses key questions which are central to understanding the Truce and the conflict as a whole. The new research presented in this study challenges an established historical narrative. The empirical findings make a useful contribution to the development of a more complex and comprehensive history of the Irish revolutionary period.

Prior to the Rising, the women of Belfast Cumann na mBan played a very active role in preparations, its members enthusiastically participating in training, collecting funds, First Aid, and any other activities required of them.

Preface It is my pleasure to launch the Defence Forces Review in 2007 and to thank those associated with it whether through contribution of articles or as part of the production team. The Review provides a forum in which, contributors can inform and facilitate discussion on a wide range of defence related matters within the wider defence community. Its success depends on the willingness of the reader to engage with the subject matter as much as on the willingness of authors to contribute articles. The richness of the Defence Forces’ military tradition is apparent in this issue of the review and I hope that everybody is included in the diversity of articles reproduced here.
