1 Perhaps at this point mention should be made of what appears to be one other error of fact in this part of Dr Cruise O’Brien’s book. On p. 285 he states that at the first large meeting to be held in Dublin after the divorce—a meeting of the central branch of the Irish National League on November 18—T. M. Healy was among those present and declared that he had ‘as much trust (in Parnell) as in 1880’. Dr Cruise O’Brien’s account of the meeting is based (p. 285 n. 2) on the Freeman’s Journal, 19 November 1890, but I have found no mention of a speech by Healy, or even of his having attended the meeting, in the relevant rile of that newspaper in the National Library. It is odd that Healy’s opponents. who lost no opportunity of taunting him with his support for Parnell at the Leinster Hall meeting on November 20, should have neglected to throw this speech in his teeth also.
