Edit ProfileCareer
“The Wind Upon the Heath” was published by William Butler Yeats’ publisher Maunsel & Company in 1918. After graduation she taught at Ardclough National School in Company Kildare. Ms Murray’s teaching of history was the subject of a complaint from local Unionist landlord Bertram Hugh Barton (1858–1927) in 1916.
A sworn enquiry organised by Commissioners was postponed, pending a prosecution for sedition by the Dublin Castle administration in Ireland.
A defence fund was organised by local people and after considerable publicity no sedition proceedings were initiated.
