An indepth examination of electioneering and party politics in Kerry in the decade after the Irish Civil War.
Civil War politics have defined the Irish political landscape for generations. The parties that emerged from the divisions over the AngloIrish Treaty of 1921 dominated elections for decades. The war cast a long shadow over party politics and elections in subsequent years.
In Kerry, the Civil War was more divisive, violent, and protracted than in any other county. Political discourse and electioneering in Kerry were infused with the divisions and hatreds that the war had created. Elections brought underlying tensions to the surface and were often occasions of violence fueled by fiery rhetoric from election platforms.
From Bullets to Ballots
offers unique insights into the origins and characteristics of Civil War politics in Ireland, with particular focus on Kerry. It is an indepth examination of how politics developed in this constituency in the decade after 1923. It reveals that, despite the underlying tensions and a profound legacy of suffering and loss, democracy endured and the ballot prevailed over the bullet as a means of settling political differences.
The results of elections for the Civil War parties, as well as other parties that were not defined by the Treaty split, are considered in detail and highlight significant deviations from national results. Key influences on electoral behavior are considered, including the extent of party organization, the role of party members, the dynamics of election campaigns, how the memory of the Civil War was used to persuade voters, and the crucial role of newspapers and their coverage of elections.
Owen O’Shea forensically investigates Kerry’s Civil War politics by presenting the lived experience of elections for the party member, the candidate, and the voter; how parties organized and campaigned; and what influenced the choice of voters at the polls.
provides the firstever examination of politics at the constituency level in this divisive and decisive period in Irish history.
