Scope and ContentPersonal diaries/journals of Liam De Roiste TD. Each diary is up to 100-200 pages in extent. Entries to the diaries were often made daily by De Roiste and the entries are extensive. The diaries comment mainly on local, national and international events and activites rather than on personal matters. Particularly extensive are his observations and comments on the national and local political situation, Sinn Fein, elections, militarism, the Irish Volunteers, the First World War, the War of Independence, the Civil War, the Irish language, cultural activities, and industrial development. The diaries are of considerable interest to the study of Irish nationalism from 1902 onwards, and particularly for the 1914-23 period, and also the early years of the Irish Free State as well as the Emergency/Second World War period. A good source for Cork's local history including the history of Cork Corporation.
