    “ Listen to author Colum Kenny in conversation with History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, as he discusses the story of a remarkable man’s efforts to help starving people during the Irish Great Famine. He reveals their terrible experiences inside and outside one of the national ‘workhouses’ and throws new light on the relationship between class, religion and poverty in Ireland before independence.

    John O’Sullivan (1807-1874) was an independent-minded priest who clashed with bishops and landlords. He kept journals that have not been published. The author mines these and other sources, including eyewitness accounts, UK archives and Kerry’s workhouse minutes, for new insights into aspects of Irish society, including politics, proselytism and the status of women.”

    In August 1849 there was "The Battle of The Priests", which featured "the Rev. Mr. Sullivan, P.P.". I'm not sure if he was the same fellow as in the photo, or what on earth was going on.

    I wasn't expecting this, reported widely in December 1850.
    The Rev. John O'Sullivan, P.P., tenant on the Marquis of Lansdowne's property in the union of Kenmare, has been awarded fur the best three acres of Swedes £2.
    I assume it meant swedes.
