About this title

Synopsis

Explores the Achill Mission's work in Ireland through eyewitness testimony and documentary evidence, revealing conflicts over education, religion, and community life.

This historical edition compiles minutes, evidence, and commentary to tell how a Protestant mission operated on Achill Island and how locals responded. It presents the challenges, tensions, and debates that shaped schooling, religious practice, and social interaction in 19th-century Ireland.

• Firsthand accounts from mission officials and local residents.
• Analysis of conflicts between Protestant outreach and Catholic communities.
• Discussion of religious practices, controversy over the Mass, and the broader public debate on education.
• Appendices and testimony that illuminate the era’s questions about faith, governance, and social change.

Ideal for readers interested in Irish educational history, religious controversy, and the social impact of 19th-century missionary work.
