4 Canny, , ‘Formation of the Irish mind’, p. 116.Google Scholar In fairness to Breandán Ó Buachalla it should be pointed out that in ‘An mheisiasacht agus an aisling’ he presents a list of reasons why the expectation of Stuart support was pragmatic and realistic, but historians of the eighteenth century would not uphold these points. See especially Hayton, D. W., ‘Ireland after the Glorious Revolution, 1692-1715’ (Belfast, P.R.O.N.I., Education Facsimiles 221-40).Google Scholar
