WAR ; Speech of Mr M J Nolan at meeting in Tralee to relieve distress because of war, reported in Kerry Weekly Reporter 26-9 1914 P10. Speech of Mr M J Nolan, Chairman of meeting in Tralee to relieve distress. Chairman said the met to discharge a twofold duty one of mercy and charity, the other a debt of honour to the wives and families of those who were fighting our battles against would be rulers and oppressors of not only England and Ireland, but of Europe. The Kaiser seemed determined to plant his iron heel not only on France and Belgium but also on England; and although we Irish had some old complaints against England which thank God are about to be remied. There was no use in thinking about or reopening old sores. Now that Home Rule is practically law. They were of a necessity called upon to protect themselves, their duty was now quite plain, they were bound to support England as far as they possibly could. They may in the past find serious reason to find fault with the English government, but for some time that has been altered and in the future when they had the management of their own affairs it would be their own fault if the laws were administered to their own satisfaction’ There is one regiment at the front, the Munster Fusiliers which is made up of their friends, relatives and neighbours and certainly after the glory they have won for themselves and for Ireland, they were not going to forget their wives and families. Some of these brave men who went out full of heart and hope would alas never return others will come back maimed and unable to support either themselves or their families and it was their duty to see that dependants would at least not want of necessities of life. There was one outrageous act which the Germans perpetrated without any justification, namely the burning of Louvain, which should stir up every Irishman to look for revenge. Louvain was dear to Ireland and the Irish hearts, as many of Irelands sons received their education there; and the burning of the noble university and library, with its priceless and valuable books; would he was sue, stimulate every Irishman to crush the perpetrators of that sacrilegious act.
Under the altered circumstances of affairs he called upon every Kerryman to do his duty to his country and help as best he could to crush German tyranny and spoliation. It was their duty to appoint a committee to help to relieve any distress which might arise in consequence of the war. Mrs Fitzgerald said there is a committee at present appointed in Tralee, she also said that committees also existed in Killarney, Listowel and Dingle.
