In this study, using the words of both the land agent, William Rochfort (1847- 1940), and the tenants on the Lismore (O' Callaghan) estate in Counties Cork, Limerick and Tipperary, the land agent- tenant relationship between 1891 and 1902 is explored. The techniques employed by Rochfort to investigate the personal circumstances of his tenants, his treatment of them and his ability to occasionally provide discreet assistance to those in need are all examined. Issues of most concern to the tenants, as told in their own words, are considered.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A ballad about a woman street trader is widely regarded as Dublin's anthem, yet the city's relationship with those who traded on its streets was often acrimonious. From 1882 onwards efforts commenced to have street traders banned alongside gentrification projects. A watershed came with the passage of the Street Trading Act of 1926. This book examines the resistance of the traders when those with power refused to recognize them as stakeholders. What the establishment learned was that the women were prepared to engage in civil disobedience, endure violence from Gardai and serve time in jail to both protect their livelihoods and protest what they characterized as ' banishment to the slums' .

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. During a robbery on 10 March 1844, 14-year-old servant Mary Doherty was murdered in a farmhouse near Culdaff, Co. Donegal. There was no doubt locally about the perpetrator's identity, but there was insufficient evidence against Daniel McKeeny, and he was eventually transported for a separate offence of sheep-stealing. Based on original research, this book reconstructs the world of a north Donegal village on the eve of the Great Famine to explore the approaches to justice taken by the local community and agents of the state, and examines the survival of the murder in local folklore to reflect on memory, remembrance and whose stories get to be told.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This study examines how the professionalization and development of nursing and midwifery in the nineteenth century was reflected in the poor-law unions of Borrisokane and Nenagh in Co. Tipperary between 1882 and 1922. It differentiates between trained and untrained nurses and midwives, examines how each type of 'nurse' was perceived and who they were. The employment opportunities for these nurses and midwives were primarily in the poor-law medical relief services as dispensary midwives or as nurses within the workhouse infirmary and fever hospital. Between 1882 and 1922 untrained nurses and midwives were slowly replaced by their trained counterparts. This was supported by campaigns for reform of the old systems, government bodies, and legislation. Home nursing by district nurses was introduced to the area in 1909 under the auspices of the Women's National Health Association. The district nurse provided education and home nursing to patients with tuberculosis and later to mothers and babies under the Mother and Child Welfare Scheme in 1919.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Nathaniel Colgan MRIA, a self-taught botanist, was known for his research on the ' real' shamrock and for his encyclopaedic survey, The flora of the county Dublin. Little was known of his early life and family or of his interests beyond botany, marine biology, mountaineering and his day-job. He was remembered for being shy, but perhaps it was more a case of being reserved on account of his personal background. When he was 14, he and his siblings were orphaned and brought up in the Coombe, Dublin. Held in high esteem by his peers, he rose to become a Member of the Royal Irish Academy. This study uncovers his hidden past, from the grandfather whose silk-weaving business waned to his espousal of Gaelic culture: a founder of the Feis Cheoil movement and a member of the Gaelic League, he was the subject of a secret police report when he supported the promotion of a member of the Volunteers as his successor as head clerk in the Dublin police court.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book examines the life and political career of a significant yet often overlooked figure in Irish nationalism. Politically active from 1885 to 1934, Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonde's career spanned the Home Rule struggle, the First World War, the revolutionary decade and the early years of the Free State. Elected as the youngest MP in 1885, he aligned with Parnell and became a committed advocate of Irish self-government, promoting Home Rule through parliamentary work and international fundraising tours across the British Empire and the United States. In Co. Wexford, he played a central role in local government as the first chairman of Wexford County Council. This study also examines his decade-long role as a Free State senator and his battle to claim compensation from the very government he served following the Civil War burning of his ancestral home, Ballynastragh, highlighting his resilience and enduring political influence in Ireland.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The St Ann's Hill Hydropathic Establishment, or The Hydro, was Ireland's first and pre-eminent sanitorium. The Hydro was built in in Co. Cork in 1843 and closed its doors 110 years later. Founded by Dr Richard Barter and run by three generations of his family, only ruins remain on a hill between Tower and Blarney. This book documents the Hydro's history from a range of sources, alongside two main themes. The first focuses on the social history of the Hydro, a world of its own, reflected in its resident inhabitants, a spectrum of Anglo-Irish society and international visitors. It was additionally a family home and a major employer in the region. The second theme considers the Hydro as a site of medical innovation, initially via a cold-water curative regime driven by a mid-nineteenth-century craze for hydrotherapy and later in the development of a new form of Turkish bath that spread around the world.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Donegal town is one of the most historic places in Ireland, and has given its name to Co. Donegal. Owned successively by three great families, the O' Donnells (1474- 1610), the Brookes (1610- 76) and the Gores (1676- c.1950s), the most striking feature of its history is its former political prominence. Under the O' Donnells, it was for 130 years the capital of Ti r Chonaill - effectively an independent state and a minor international power (at least in a British/Irish context). As such, Donegal town was also the administrative centre of a huge area of north-western Ireland, stretching from Mayo to Antrim. Later, it suffered four sieges (1601, 1641, 1651, 1689) but was never captured, it was the principal estate town of the Gore family for 240 years, a parliamentary constituency for 187 years, the administrative centre of a poor law union for 85 years, and the archetypical Irish market town for two centuries. Donegal town is one of the most historic places in Ireland, and has given its name to Co. Donegal. It has been a Gaelic town, a Plantation town, an estate town and a market town.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This study of a woman's management of a middle-sized estate contributes to the understanding of agrarian society and the role of women in it. At the age of 32, this beautiful woman, having suffered the early death of her parents, husband and two children, faced multiple challenges as a landowner. Living in a dilapidated house on a rundown farm with two infant sons and a teenaged daughter, she lacked the training to manage her scattered estate in neighbouring baronies in counties Kildare and Offaly. She initially felt overcome by difficulties but by the end of her life she had some sense of fulfilment, having successfully raised her children and left the estate intact. Her story provides a rare glimpse into the ideas and attitudes of a free-thinking woman in a society that was still closed to feminism and the changes that it would bring.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From prehistory to the present day, the wolf has always loomed large in the human imagination. An iconic symbol of the untamed and the wild, the wolf, as Ireland's last great predator, has always provoked fear, excitement, and wonder. This book - now available in paperback - examines a vast array of sources relating to wolves in Ireland. The book considers archaeological remains, name evidence (place and person, both in Irish and in English), and folklore. It also looks at the historical records of wolves in Ireland, including wolf attacks on livestock (and more rarely people) and describes how the extermination of wolves took place, with the last wolf being killed, most likely, in 1786. The causes of extermination are discussed in detail, including legislation, the role of bounties and professional wolf hunters, and deforestation. The book closes by assessing whether the Irish wolf could have been a unique sub-species and considers the controversial possibility of re-introduction.
