    what an interesting photo, do you have any history? it looks like a spray of water near the statue... is that the tarp being removed? who is it? as usual great stuff.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Glad you like this one! The statue's of Fr William Casey (1844-1907) who was parish priest of Abbeyfeale from 1883 to 1907 and founded the local branch of the Land League to help tenants farmers fight for their rights. Think this unveiling happened in 1910.

    NIAH entry on the monument agrees, 1910. The DIA includes the designer, Edmund Sharp.

    The evicting force came in the early forenoon to find the house locked and barricaded against them, while the yards and adjoining fields were crowded with sympathetic neighbours and townspeople who had been summoned by the ringing of Church bells and blowing of horns. To a demand for possession, Tim Hurley replied that if they wanted possession they'd have to fight for it. When the bailiffs rushed with a battering ram against the shuttered parlour window, they were met with showers of scalding water from the upstairs windows. The eviction failed! www.failteromhat.com/castleviewevictions.php

    Niall McAuley Thanks Niall. Good clear account, but no light cast on the Land League Hut...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Arrangements had been made to build a hut for the evicted tenant if the eviction were successful, and in the evening about two thousand persons assembled in the town with thirty carts, and conveyed the materials of the hut to Hurley's holding, near Hurley's holding, near which they erected it. Bands were in attendance, and the proceedings were marked by great rejoicings. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/75850828

    Niall McAuley Excellent! That explains the hut then - well done, Trove! And you too, Niall... :)
