History of Parliament Staff
Dr Stephen Ball
Research Assistant, 1832-1945
Research
I arrived at the History of Parliament in April 2009 and currently work on biographies and constituency studies for Ireland between 1832 and 1868.
My project research interests are the Repeal party in parliament (1832-50) and the nature of the Irish electorate (1832-68). I also research the political administration of Ireland in the second half of the nineteenth century, with special regard to policing and ‘agrarian crime’, the politics of home rule, and the impact of Fenianism on the development of the British secret service.
Publications
My publications include: A Policeman’s Ireland. Recollections of Samuel Waters, Royal Irish Constabulary (ed.), (Cork University Press, 1999), ‘Crowd activity during the Irish Land War, 1880-90’ in P. J. Jupp and E. Magennis (eds.), Crowds in Ireland, c.1720-1920 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2000), and Dublin Castle and the First Home Rule Crisis: The Political Journal of Sir George Fottrell, 1884-1887 (ed.), Camden Fifth Series, Vol. 33 (Cambridge University Press, 2008).
