1. '98 - Aftermath

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   It was two years after the Rebellion of '98 and the cruelty with which it had been suppressed was fresh in the minds of the [people] peasantry. The ruling class - the Protestant landlords carried out, the government's policy of persecuting a defenceless people. In every parish in Ireland the aftermath of the rebellion continued in cruelty on one hand and a resentful hostility on the other. Bansha was no exception. It was the habit of the local landlords to ride along the roads and boreens and disperse the little gatherings, - for it was a crime to dare to be sociable even in those days. On a Summer's evening in 1800 a landlord named Baker came on a group of three or four youths at Clashoquirke Cross.* He ordered them to disperse. One lad stood his ground sullen and resentful. For that the landlord cut him across the face with his whip, called him a degrading name and rode on.

   Three weeks later Baker was shot at Massey's Corner near Thomastown, as he was returning from the Cashel Races.
