Agnes Treacy (1877-1959)

Agnes Treacy (Mrs James Harold) was born in Nenagh, Cо. Tipperary, the daughter of William Treacy of Fermanagh and Susanna Bourke of Limerick. She studied at the Royal Irish Academy of Music (Scholar), was a soprano singer, known chiefly as an interpreter of Oratorio. As a child, her parents sent her to the Royal Irish Academy of Music where she received her musical training. On the day she entered, the famous maestro, the late Mr. Joseph Robinson, tried her voice, and much to her surprise, took her under his own care, as she expected to be put in the junior classes. What she owed to his careful and kind tuition she could not over estimate. With him she studied oratorio, opera and classical music. His rare experience and genius were of invariable assistance to her in her studies, and his death was a great loss to music in this country. She also learned the violin, piano and declamation but only as an aid to singing. At the Academy she won the National prize, the Begley prize, the first prize for Italian reading, as well as prizes for theory, harmony and singing at sight, and finally the scholarship. She competed at the Dublin Feis Ceoil [May 1897?] and won the Feis gold medal for a song in Irish, and the gold medal for solo singing. When not six months at the Academy she sang at the Viceregal Lodge, her first engagement, and the beginning of her professional career. Although she had only began to study, from that time forward she had many offers of engagements. Other memorial early performances, included singing at the opening of the new organ in Marlborough street cathedral, with Chevalier Wiegard organist. She sang a good deal at the University Choral society and various Philharmonic Society concerts. She sang at nearly all the principal Irish concerts, including the Feis Ceoil, the Oireachtas and the great Moore Memorial concerts. In 1906, at the Eisteddfod, held at Rhyl, she was created a bard and was given the name Llios Yr Iwerddon (Nightingale of Ireland). She also sang at the Pan-Celtic Congress at Carnarvan. In 1907, she was the Irish representative at the Eisteddfod, held at Carnaroon and sang old Irish songs. When her mother died in February 1909, she cancelled numerous engagements, including the Queen’s Hall, London. Also in the same year, she suffered the loss of her father. In 1914, she married Mr. James Harold of Bloomsbury of London.

Music In Dublin by Joseph O'Neill

...In the early years of this century the main form of entertainment for the public was through the medium of the concert. These concerts ranged from the popular ballad type, with instrumental relief, to the chamber music recital. It was quite a usual occurrence for three concerts to be held on one night, and I have known that prince of baritones in his time, J. G. Doyle, to commence an evening by singing at the Round Room of the Rotunda, proceed to a concert at the Antient Concert Rooms, and from there to the Rathmines Town Hall, thus contributing to three concerts within a few hours. He would sing twice, perhaps, at the Rathmines Concert, and return to perform in the second half of each of the other concerts. His co-star of the period was Agnes Treacy, soprano, and both shared an enormous popularity in Dublin. While their songs followed the beaten track of the ballad concert, I later came to appreciate the artistry and musicianship of J. C. Doyle when he took part in works of musical importance...

8 February 1909 (FJ) Death of Miss Agnes Treacy’s Mother

The sympathy of a very wide circle of friends and admirers will go out to Miss Agnes Treacy in the bereavement that has befallen her by the death of her mother on Saturday evening at her residence, 58 Cabra Park. The deceased lady had been ailing for some time past but there was some hope that she would recover, but she passed away most peacefully away on Saturday evening. The sympathy with Miss Treacy and her brothers and sisters will be deepened when it is known that her father, who has been indisposed for a considerable time, is at present lying very seriously ill at the above address, and of course, is quite oblivious of the death of his wife. The funeral will take place this morning, after eight o’clock Mass in St. Peter’s Phibsoro’.

It may be mentioned that Miss Treacy has, of course, cancelled all engagements, 22 of which she had already booked for this month at home and the series in London.

September 1930

Mr. Frederick Treacy, an ex-lieutenant, of the Royal Munster Fusiliers, of Saggart, Co. Dublin was drowned on Saturday in the vicinity of the treacherous Curley's Hole at Dollymount Strand, Dublin...Mr. P.B. Treacy, The Lodge, Saggart, father of the deceased, accompanied the searchers in their quest...It is a sad coincidence that Mr. Hugh Treacy, uncle of deceased, was playing golf on the Royal Dublin course nearby about the time the tragedy occurred. During Mr. Treacy's service in France with the Munster Fusiliers he was wounded and in consequence was discharged from the army in 1918. During 1918 and 1919 he acted as inspector under the Agricultural Wages Board and from 1919 to 1922 was a temporary inspector under the Local Government Board. After a short sojourn in America he subsequently held a business position in Dublin and in 1928 was appointed secretary to the Newlands Golf Club, from which position he resigned in July last to take up a commercial appointment in Dublin. Mr. Treacy, who was a nephew of Mrs. Harold, of London (formerly Miss Agnes Treacy, the well-known vocalist) was popular with all classes and was a good swimmer. He leaves a widow and six children.

18 September 1930 The Western Daily Press

Dramatic Return of man who was “drowned. Said to have lived on blackberries for ten days.

Dublin Wednesday.

A man believed to have drowned at Curley’s Hole, a danger spot at Dollymount, Dublin, over 10 days ago, was today found wandering in another part of Dublin seven miles away.

The man – Mr Fred W. Treacey – an ex-British officer, was seen on Saturday, September 6, going to the water’s edge with the intention of bathing. Later, clothing containing letter, identifying Mr Treacey as the owner, were found on the rocks.

Civic Guards and Sea Scouts joinded in an extensive search, but found no trace of him.

When found today, Mr Treacey was bare-footed and was carrying his boots in his hand. He wore old tweed trousers and a sports coat.

Clad in Bathing Costume.

Underneath was nothing but a bathing costume.

He was unable to give any account of himself, and said he had been lying in fields eating blackberries. He was taken to Dublin where he was identified by his father.

Mr Treacey served in France with the Munster Fusiliers and after being wounded was discharged in 1918. Later, he acted as an inspector under the Agricultural Wages Board.

After a short stay in America, he held a business position in Dublin.

He lives with his wife and six children at Saggart (county Dublin).

Tony Kearns, a civilian historian to the Irish Air Corps has spent over fifty years researching and writing about the organisation. In this clip which comes from the second in a series of interviews undertaken by Michael J. Whelan, Tony and Michael discuss Lieutenant Colonel Louis (Louie) Lawrence Treacy (22nd October 1919 - 19th February 2001). Tony states that the brother of Louis Treacy was in the RAF (Royal Air Force) and was shot down, captured and held for a year. He later returned to England and went back to the war but was shot down and killed. Tony also reflects on the feelings of members of the RAF towards Ireland as a result of Ireland's neutrality in World War II (the Emergency).

Central Hotel, Dublin.

Unexpectedly excellent business fqr Christmas. The hotel was packed out and everything went with a swing. The Orchestra, under Miss Ida Hughes (formerly of B.B.C. and Queen's Hall) played in the afternoon and for Dancing at night, and Miss Harold (Agnes Treacy's daughter) was the popular vocalist) Niall Boden conducted hilarious "Question Times" for Guests. Most of the visitors waited over the weekend. They were all very sociable and very satisfied.

I have an 1871 Marriage record for Phillip Tressy, Newtown (ie. Newtownbutler); (father = Thomas G Tressy, a Farmer, deceased) & Mary Goodwin , Gubb Island (a nearby townland) My source is the Fermanagh Registrar's Records for the the Parish of Galloon. The date of marriage was 16/1/1871. I'm fairly certain that this Tressy is a "Treacy" and that the somewhat unusual spelling reflects the way the surname was (& still is) pronounced by many locals. The Goodwin mentioned is undoubtedly one of my people but I have not yet been able to demonstrate the precise relationship.

In September 1918, while 'on the run', he resided in the house of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anne O'Regan, 30, Dean St., Kilkenny, where he was very well looked after. In January 1920 he was elected for St. Canice's Ward as a Sein Fein candidate. In March 10, 1920 as a result of the raid on Hugginstown, his private house was raided by Police. In May 1920 he was one of the Irish Hunger Strikers released from Wormwood Scrubes prison and was later discharged from St. Mary's Infirmary, Highgate. In December 1920, he was detained at Kilworth Camp. In October 1921 he was Acting Camp Commandant at Ballykinlar Camp, Co. Down and was released in December 1921. He took no part in the Civil War. In 1924 he was secretary of the Kilkenny County Board of Health.

Ballykinlar History Hut Thomas Treacy (1885-1975) and Ballykinlar Internment Camp, 1920-21. On the 100th anniversary of the arrest of Thomas Treacy, Orla Murphy here tells the story of her grandfather and Ballykinlar Camp. Thomas Treacy was born in Kilkenny city in December 1885. His father, John, was from Fermanagh and a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary. His mother Catherine (Kate) was born in Kilkenny and she was the daughter of an RIC man also. The couple married in 1876 but by 1891 John had died, at the young age of 43, leaving Kate to bring up 6 children. Tom did well at school and was selected by the firm of Messrs. James Poe, solicitors, to work for them in 1904. By 1915 he had risen to the position of chief clerk of the probate office and had married his wife Elizabeth. In September 1914 he had been appointed Captain of A company of the Irish Volunteers in Kilkenny. These were the group who rejected John Redmond’s call to support the British war effort after the outbreak of the World War 1 in the hope of Home Rule being implemented at the end of the war. In the aftermath of the 1916 Rising he was arrested with over 30 other Irish volunteers from Kilkenny and he was eventually transferred from Richmond Barracks in Dublin to Frongoch internment camp near Bala in Wales. He was released in August 1916 and on returning to Kilkenny found that his “job was no longer available” to him. Elizabeth was a trained milliner and a very good seamstress, so they opened a drapery to make ends meet. Their first child was born in 1916. During 1917 Tom was increasingly involved in the reorganisation of the Irish Volunteers in Kilkenny and played a significant part in the successful by - election of W. T. Cosgrave in the first urban election of a Sinn Fein candidate in Kilkenny, following on from earlier successes for the party in Roscommon, Longford and East Clare. In August 1918 he was elected Commandant of the Kilkenny Brigade. His second child was born shortly afterwards. The year 1919 saw the birth of a third child and the meeting of the First Dáil, along with the outbreak of the War of Independence. In March 1920 Tom was in charge of the attack on Hugginstown R.I.C. barracks which was only the third R.I.C. barracks to surrender in the country during a period when the War of Independence was intensifying significantly. In April 1920 he was arrested and transferred to Crumlin Road Jail in Belfast, when, while on hunger strike along with other prisoners, he was sent to Wormwood Scrubs prison in London. He eventually returned to Kilkenny in June 1920. On November 23, 1920 he was arrested for the final time in the major round up after Bloody Sunday. Along with several other Kilkenny men he was detained in Kilkenny Military Barracks for a week, transferred to Clonmel, Kilworth Camp and eventually the Military Detention Prison in Cork from whence they were put on a destroyer at 3am and endured a dreadful journey to Belfast to be met with a very hostile reception by the shipyard workers who rained down “ Belfast Confetti” on the handcuffed prisoners. From Belfast they were put on a train which deposited them at Ballykinlar Halt on 11th December 1920. He would remain there until the 9th December 1921. (His fourth child Tómas was born in his absence in February 1921 and only met his father after his release. Unfortunately, he died in 1922 shortly after Tom returned home). Tom states in his Bureau of Military History Statement 1093 that when he arrived in Ballykinlar there were about 600 prisoners but that soon Camp 1 or the “Cage”, as they called it because of the thick barbed wire which surrounded it, filled up to 1000 men and a second compound was opened containing another 1000 internees from every part of Ireland. Conditions were tough and shortly after his arrival he saw “ice on a cup of water beside a patient’s bed in the hospital”. In his statement he described No 1 camp as consisting of 4 lines of huts, 10 in each line made of zinc sheeting on the outside and wood on the inside. Each hut accommodated approximately 25 men. There was also a chapel, a cook house, a dining room and storage buildings in the centre of the compound. He was in Hut 19 along with James Lalor and Tom Nolan. Mick Loughman was in Hut 11 and. M J Tierney of Kilkenny and London was also in Camp 1. Among the second intake of prisoners were more Kilkenny men such as Jim Roughan of Ahenure, Callan, Joe Rice, Outrath and Ned Comerford, Kilkenny, who were all well known to him but were housed in Camp 2. Communication between the two camps was forbidden. Louis J. Walsh, a Donegal solicitor, who wrote an account of his time in Ballykinlar called, “On my Keeping and in theirs”, was also a prisoner in Hut 19 and mentions Tom as a prominent figure in the Camp government set up by the prisoners. He humorously referred to this as “Home rule within the Empire”, since the prisoners had their own governing structures and organised classes on all sorts of subjects from military matters to Irish, accountancy, economics, horticulture and music. These were all taught by themselves and, as Tom Treacy stated, “brains were pooled by the prisoners for the prisoners”. They even managed to get musical instruments and created a camp orchestra and put on plays and concerts. Louis J. Walsh was only one among a number of notable prisoners including future Taoiseach Sean Lemass, and Peadar Kearney the composer of the “Soldier’s Song”, i.e. the Irish National Anthem. Picturesque and all as Ballykinlar was beside the sea with views of beautiful Sliabh Donard and the Mourne mountains, it still remained a dangerous place to be, as Tom and Jim Lalor found out when they were lucky not to be shot dead by a sentry who fired at them as they emerged from mass in the chapel one morning. On 17th January 1921 a shot from one of the sentries did end up killing Patrick Sloan and Joseph Tormey from Co. Westmeath. Tom recounts “seeing their bodies in a pool of their own blood where they fell”, which was not near the wire fence. The lack of justice for their deaths in cold blood led to a strike on the part of the prisoners. Tom was a member of the Camp Council and it was his responsibility to ensure the safekeeping of secret despatches and smuggled-in communications which he said were from Michael Collins, Director of Intelligence for the Irish Republican Army. The Camp Council conducted their meeting in the Black Hut usually huddled around the stove. It soon came to their attention that their conversations were being eavesdropped on somehow. Tom had previously read an article about an electrical invention called a Dictaphone “which could listen in to the human voice much like a telephone”, and he knew that the British would have the resources for such new-fangled things. This was only a few years after the invention of the first tanks ever used in battle in 1916 and significant developments in armaments during the War. His suggestion was considered a bit far-fetched and an initial search was unsuccessful. Shortly after this, a plan by the prisoners to burn the camp at Easter 1921 was foiled and he harped back to his intuition about listening devices. He was flatly told that he “had dictaphones on the brain”. However he persisted, and insisted on a thorough search starting with the Commandant’s hut where the council meetings were held. This required each board to be lifted up surreptitiously and with improvised tools by the carpenters among the group. After a short while they discovered the first device not far from the stove about three feet off the ground. He stated that “it was the first (dictaphone) that I or any of those searching for them ever saw”, and that “to describe the discovery as a sensation was to put it mildly”. In all they discovered about 6 devices. Joe Mc Grath, T.D., who was now Camp Commandant in Camp 1, appointed Tom as the man to uncover and cut the wires to the listening devices each time they were replaced by the authorities. The fact that Ballykinlar was situated in such a sandy area made this easier to spot. Interestingly, Sir Ormonde de l’Epée Winter, Chief of British Intelligence in Dublin Castle, in his final report refers to “listening sets” saying that “they gave unsatisfactory results----- they are difficult to install with the necessary secrecy, the acoustics of a cell are generally bad, and the microphone of English manufacture seems ill adapted to the Irish brogue”. He conveniently omitted to admit that the devices had been discovered! At the time of the Truce in July 1921 Joe Mc Grath and other prisoners who were elected members of Dáil Éireann or T. D. s. were released. Maurice (Mossy) Donegan succeeded him and Tom Treacy was Vice- Commandant. Later in 1921 after the escape of Mossy Donegan and Paddy Colgan, Tom acted as Prisoners’ Commandant until the time of their release just after the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed in December 1921. The fact that a truce existed did not remove the ever present danger inside the camp and this was illustrated by the shooting of Tadhg Barry on the 15th November 1921, despite the fact that Michael Staines, who was on the joint Anglo-Irish Commission investigating prison conditions, was actually visiting the camp that day. Finally, word reached the camp on the 8th December 1921 that the prisoners would be released the next day. As Commandant, Tom remained until the last batch of 300 prisoners were to be put on the last train. However even the joy of freedom after a full year of incarceration was not straightforward since the train was attacked by shots and a huge angry mob in Banbridge, and only for the foresight of the driver and fireman, and Tom’s own intervention, could have ended in far uglier scenes or even fatalities. He regarded it as a miracle that the incidents did not end in a massacre. He finally arrived home in Kilkenny on the 10th December 1921. The last line of his witness statement says simply, “I took no part in the Civil War”. Early in 1922 he was appointed Secretary of the Board of Health and later Superintendent Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths. He lived until his 90th year and died aged 89 on 14 April 1975. The following verse by Thomas Moore which he inscribed in several Ballykinlar autograph books is instructive. “Far dearer the grave or the prison, Illumined by one patriot’s name, Than the trophies of all who have risen On Liberties ruins to fame”.
