John Guiney (politician)
John Guiney (1 October 1868 – 28 May 1931) was an Irish nationalist politician and Member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Born in Newmarket, County Cork, he was the second son of Timothy Guiney, a shopkeeper and later clerk of Kanturk poor law union, and Ellen Carver. In the 1890s, he qualified as a solicitor and took up practice in Kanturk. He was first elected as the All-for-Ireland League MP for the North Cork constituency at the 4 November 1913 by-election, which was held due to the death of the incumbent All-for-Ireland MP, Patrick Guiney, who was his eldest brother. Like all All-for-Ireland League MPs, Guiney did not contest the 1918 general election as it had become evident that constitutional political concepts for attaining independent All-Ireland self-government were being displaced by Sinn Féin. He died at his home at Egmont Place, Kanturk, County Cork, on 29 June 1931. He was the father of Davi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Irish Nationalism
Irish nationalism is a nationalist political movement which, in its broadest sense, asserts that the people of Ireland should govern Ireland as a sovereign state. Since the mid-19th century, Irish nationalism has largely taken the form of cultural nationalism based on the principles of national self-determination and popular sovereignty.Sa'adah 2003, 17–20.Smith 1999, 30. Irish nationalists during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries such as the United Irishmen in the 1790s, Young Irelanders in the 1840s, the Fenian Brotherhood during the 1880s, Fianna Fáil in the 1920s, and Sinn Féin styled themselves in various ways after French left-wing radicalism and republicanism. Irish nationalism celebrates the culture of Ireland, especially the Irish language, literature, music, and sports. It grew more potent during the period in which all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, which led to most of the island gaining independence from the UK in 1922. Irish nationalists believ ...

People From Kanturk
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...
