West Cork History

Royal Irish Constabulary Directory and List, 1916 from Joe McGarrity Collection, Villa Nova University, USA.

Apart from being a RIC listing it contains much Government information of the period pre Partition of the island.

From Joe McGarrity Collection, Villa Nova University USA. Somewhat ironic as he was a prominent Republican from Co.Tyrone who settled in the States. later he was involved in marketing the Irish Sweeps using the Republican network of those who on the Anti-Treaty side emigrated to the US post 1922.
