dc.description.abstractThe research will incorporate this significant period of Daniel Cohalan’s episcopate into a wider examination of his life and career, beginning with his formative years in Kilmichael and the early influences which continued to inspire his thinking throughout his life. His time as both student and professor at St Patrick’s College, Maynooth is also examined, and it is during his tenure as professor that we see insightful glimpses of the character and personality of the future Bishop of Cork. Alongside an examination of his views on Irish republican tactics during the revolutionary period, the study also explores Cohalan’s broader outlook. It considers the initiatives he supported and engaged with as the newly formed Irish Free State worked to define its social, moral, religious, and political identity. The presence of 'fifty thousand people' lining the two-mile route from the Bons Secours hospital to the North Cathedral on 25 August 1952 — just two hours after Cohalan’s death — arguably indicates how the ordinary people of Cork viewed their late bishop. This thesis analyses Cohalan’s interactions with agents of Irish political and physical force nationalism, international agencies, his peers and lower clergy, and the ordinary people who looked to their church for temporal and spiritual succour. Through this research, a lacuna in the literature of Irish history is narrowed and an enduring imbalance is addressed.en
