1835 Resolution by Independent Electors (Liberal) of Cork Rickard Deasy and D. Geran Thanking James O’Brien , Thomas Parsons Boland, Charles Evanson, Daniel Connell, George Wade Foot, Richard Donovan, for Their Impartiality in Conducting Recent Election.

Thomas Dennehy Esq., Superceded 1810-30, Belleview, sitting Fermoy 1835, Proposer of Thanks by Independent Liberal Electors for Impartiality in 1835 elections.  Subscriber Lewis Topographical Dictionary of Ireland  1837, listed 1838, 1842, 1843.  Father of John, Brooklodge, career in India and Richard of Prospect House.

Father James Barry, Parish priest Bantry ordained 1823. Dictionary of Ireland  1837. Thanked Assessors as Independent Liberal Elector for Impartiality in 1835 elections.

James was obviously a man of learning and compassion, and one who was called upon locally to be a spokesperson and advocate for his flock. Even before the Famine he gave evidence to boards of inquiry about the conditions in West Cork, pointing out the miserable diet, lack of proper clothing and housing, poor prospects for employment, the uncertainty of a lease being continued, the lack of compensation to tenants when lands were taken to build new roads, the desire of many to emigrate and the good account they gave of their experiences in their new homes.  He would have read their letters to them, since many of his parishioners were illiterate – his remarks focused on the many advantages of the New World, including a pointed reference to the absence of tyranny. In what seems like a very modern concern with income inequality, he commented on how the rich got richer as their tenants’ lives became ever more difficult.   During the Famine, he and his brother, Father John, also of Schull parish, worked to help establish soup kitchens but insisted that more than soup be served, since the soup was not nutritious enough. Called eating houses, these places fed many people who would otherwise have died, and replaced the hated and ineffective Board of Works schemes that put weak and starving people to hard labour so they could buy their own corn, thus supposedly salvaging their dignity and rescuing them from the evils of pauperism.
