Abstract:
This research aims to assess the performance of the parties and leading personalities involved in Dublin local politics and government from 1898 to 1920 by tracing newspaper reports, political campaigns and electoral results. Much can be learned about the significance of Labour and the IRB's political plans through the study of local government at this stage. Prominent figures in the foundation of both Irish states had close links with local politics during this period. William Redmond, W.T. Cosgrave, Sean T. O'Kelly and Sir Edward Carson feature in council debates or court disputes over the future of the city, the suburban townships, and vicariously, the country itself.
