INA/Irish History 1845-1848 The Great Hunger In 1879, Michael Davitt founded the Irish national Land League with Charles Stewart Parnell-- a constitutional nationalist -- as it s president. The objects of the Land League were: 1] To put an end to rank-renting, evictions and landlord oppression; 2] To effect such a radical change in the land system as would put it in the power of every Irish farmer to become the owner, in fair terms, of the land he tilled. Landlords wasted no time in legally evicting Irish tenants from their homes, even though there was no possibility to make rent payments. www.inac.org /irishhistory/1845.php   (1166 words)

At countrywide ILLA meetings and in leading articles in the Irish People, he strove passionately to attain social betterment for the working Irish, winning provision under the Labourers (Ireland) Act (1906) for the erection of over 40,000 cottages on an acre of land, known locally as "Sheehan's cottages". www.info-pedia.net /about/d_d_sheehan   (1710 words)

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL - LoveToKnow Article on CHARLES STEWART PARNELL The Irish National League, a successor to the suppressed Land League, was founded in the autumn of 1882 at a meeting over which Parnell presided, but he looked on it at first with little favor, and its action was largely paralysed by the operation of the Crimes Act and the vigorous administration of Lord Spencer. Thus by birth and ancestry, and especially by the influence of his mother, who inherited a hatred of England from her father,, Charles Stewart Parnell was, as it were, dedicated to the Irish national cause. The reply to this was the issue of a manifesto to the Irish electors of Great Britain violently denouncing the Liberal party and directing all Irish Nationalists to give their votes to the Tories. www.1911encyclopedia.org /P/PA/PARNELL_CHARLES_STEWART.htm   (7021 words)

Joyce - Papers: Charles Stewart Parnell Due to public reaction against the act of terrorism, Parnell had help in persuading many citizens to abandon the radical nationalistic Irish National League and to support his more moderate Home Rule party. As his power diminished, Parnell was falsely accused of exorbitant acts; one being that he embezzled the Land Leagues funds to subsidize his love affair.

Fenianism, Michael Davitt and Land and Labour in Scotland - By Mairtin O’Cathain Its basis is that the Irish in Scotland clung to ethnic-enclave politics over the politics of pragmatism and the context in which they found themselves, and were heavily influenced by the Catholic clergy in that choice of Irish nationalism over labourism. But a much more personal involvement solidified his opposition to British rule in Ireland and support for Irish nationalism which remained with him all his life. Irish immigrants and Highland migrants were both heavily involved in dock labour and construction, and there was undoubtedly some competition in these areas of employment as the century progressed -as well as areas where either the Irish or Highlanders predominated to the exclusion of the other. srsm.port5.com /scotradhist/davitt.html   (4891 words)
