Forgiving means abandoning your right to pay back the
perpetrator in his own coin, but it is a loss that liberates the
victim. Desmond Tutu

UNIONIST: Published Limerick Leader on 19/06/2009
A Catholic Unionist and a reforming landlord, William Monsell’s
friends included William Gladstone and Pope Pius IX, a new
biography by Matthew Potter reveals
But Dr Potter believes Monsell’s 60-year political career is of
great significance, he is also “one of the most overlooked
political figures of nineteenth century Ireland”.
The book – William Monsell of Tervoe 1812-94: Catholic Unionist,
Anglo-Irishman -.
Monsell’s was active the 1830s in time of Daniel O’Connell
concluded in the 1890s.
Dr Potter, who like William Monsell is also from the
Ballybrown/Clarina area.
“His long period as MP for County Limerick (1847-74)
Among his closest friends were British Prime Minister William
Gladstone; Pope Pius IX, the longest reigning Pope in history;
John Henry Cardinal Newman, the famous Catholic thinker who made
two visits to Limerick in 1852 and 1854 and Lord Acton one of
the greatest historians of all time.
Dr Potter is also the author of First Citizens of the Treaty
City – The Mayors and Mayoralty of Limerick 1197-2007, the
product of three years of exhaustive research by the author,
which was published nearly two years ago.
He also wrote The Government and the People of Limerick: The
History of Limerick Corporation/City Council 1197-2006, which
was the first complete account of the government of an Irish
urban area ever written.
