Constable Jeremiah Mee is noted in the annals of Irish history for being the spokesman for a group of RIC men in Listowel who refused to follow orders to shoot any 'suspicious-looking' Irishman on sight. This unique record, based on Mee's memoirs, presents a first-hand account of life in the RIC from 1910 to 1920. It chronicles the changing relationship between the Irish people and the members of the force, gives a valuable insight into the changing attitudes of many RIC men during the War of Independence, and includes a comprehensive account of the 1920 Listowel mutiny and its aftermath.

(Situated in north Kerry on the banks of the River Feale, ...)
Situated in north Kerry on the banks of the River Feale, the town of Listowel is a attractive urban center. Perhaps most renowned for its literary offspring, the town is also a thriving sporting, industrial, and artistic hub. A quick name check of John B. Keane, Bryan MacMahon, the Listowel Races, St John's Theatre and Arts Centre, and so on, reveals the extraordinary contribution that the town has made. In this book, which is a supplement to his widely-praised Listowel and its Vicinity (1974), J. Anthony Gaughan looks at the town and its hinterland from a wide variety of perspectives. He takes account of antiquarian and archaeological activity in the area over the past thirty years, commercial and industrial development, education, writers, visual arts, cultural activities, and recreational pursuits. This is a fascinating modern history, guaranteed to be of interest to historians and tourists.
