    A great wee bit of history in this. Do you know whether they were successful in their attempt to get lower rents - or does the title of this mean they were evicted?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Vab2009 No other information yet, but would love to find out more information about the Plan of Campaign in the Mitchelstown area, the landlord(s) involved, and would die happy if anyone knows about the O'Sullivans in particular...

    And two doors down is the local cop shop! There is a very good article on Wikipedia on the plan of campaign and it appears that the Tipperary and North Cork areas were deeply involved. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_of_Campaign The Plan of Campaign was a stratagem adopted in Ireland between 1886 and 1891, co-ordinated by Irish politicians for the benefit of tenant farmers, against mainly absentee and rack-rent landlords. It was launched to counter agricultural distress caused by the continual depression in prices of dairy products and cattle from the mid 1870s, which left many tenants in arrears with rent. Bad weather in 1885 and 1886 also caused crop failure, making it harder to pay rents. The Land War of the early 1880s was about to be renewed after evictions increased and outrages became widespread.

    They used to play netball if that's the same thing? The shot is in Sisters of Charity Convent Lady Lane and Spring Garden Alley Waterford
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    desmondg47 Wondering if you're right about the netball! Might be a faulty description in our catalogue...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Checked in the Irish Newspaper Archive and basketball is reported as a functioning sport in Ireland from 1945 onwards... (Volleyball from 1965, and Netball from 1935.)
