The O'Neills of County Cork
The first record for an O'Neill in Ballynoe/Conna area of the civil parish of Fermoy is for Timothy Neale, b. 1666 in County Tyrone, probably the son of Eoghan O'Neill. The first O'Neill of record in Ballydaniel, civil parish of Ardagh, was Philip, originally from County Tyrone, also. Thomas O'Neill, brother of Philip, settled in Knockadoon (Warren), Ballymacoda,civil parish of Kilmacdonogh, in 1702. Daniel O'Neill, son of Thomas, settled in Monagurra, Shanagarry, civil parish of Kilmahon, County Cork. Many descendants live in the United States as well as County Cork. Other surnames dealt with briefly include Cashman, Chaplin, Garvey, Hayes and Power. Eugene O'Neill (1888-1953), American playwright, his daughter, Oona (1925-1991) and her husband Charles Chaplin (1889-1977), are among the notable members of this family.
Edmund Burke and Ireland
This pioneering study of Burke's engagement with Irish politics and culture argues that Burke's influential early writings on aesthetics are intimately connected to his lifelong political concerns. The concept of the sublime, which lay at the heart of his aesthetics, addressed itself primarily to the experience of terror, and it is this spectre that haunts Burke's political imagination throughout his career. Luke Gibbons argues that this found expression in his preoccupation with political terror, whether in colonial Ireland and India, or revolutionary America and France. Burke's preoccupation with violence, sympathy and pain allowed him to explore the dark side of the Enlightenment, but from a position no less committed to the plight of the oppressed, and to political emancipation. This major reassessment of a key political and cultural figure will appeal to Irish studies and Post-Colonial specialists, political theorists and Romanticists.

Seán Treacy and the Tan War
A ground-breaking new book that looks back on Ireland's struggle for freedom with a refreshingly new perspective and attitude. This is a journey into a turbulent period in Ireland's past and covers the exploits of charismatic guerrilla leader Seán Treacy, Tipperary's flying columns and the horrors of Croke Park's 'Bloody Sunday'. Tipperary's role in the War of Independence has been greatly under-played and this book analyses the main events and personalities of the time.
Encyclopedia of Irish and American Fiddle Tunes
This volume is intended as a folio of arrangements from the repertoire of a working musician. As such, there is only a minimum of discussion about the technical aspects of playing. Students who have already dealt with the American style called fingerpicking or fingerstyle guitar, which is quite distinct from other kinds of guitar playing, will be at an advantage. the easiest arrangements here are early intermediate level, while the other end of the scale includes pieces that may challenge even a professional. Tunes within each section are presented generally in order of difficulty. the bulk of the tunes presented are fiddle tunes, with a couple of banjo tunes and several songs as well as tunes originally played on other instruments such as harp, pipes, or accordion. There are even a small number composed for the guitar. for the most part, differences in approach among the tunes here are unrelated to the instrumental sources. All the tunes are presented in notation and tablature.
