Parnell's Downfall, Was Katherine The Cause Or The Excuse? at Wicklow Library

Arklow historian Jim Rees will explore how attitudes to Parnell changed in the 1870s and 1880s, and will ask whether the O’Shea divorce and his marriage to Katherine were the cause of the split in nationalist politics or were they merely the excuse the growing anti-Parnellite faction used to get rid of him?
