1798 REBELLION, CLAIMANTS AND SURRENDERS

The 1798 Rebellion was one of the most traumatic periods in recent Irish history. While documentary evidence for the majority of participants and victims is patchy there are three lists of c. 8,300 people from this period, which were published between 1798-1800. These have been republished for the first time on CD (Eneclann, 2005) and are:

Over 6,100 people who made compensation claims for property destroyed all over Ireland during the Rebellion
Over 1,000 people who surrendered arms in Dublin City and County in 1798
Over 1,000 people who surrendered arms in Coolock Barony, Co. Dublin, in 1798
