Notes
[1] Although Roger Casement has not generated quite so
much attention of late as Michael Collins, it is certain that
Neil Jordan’s forthcoming film, scripted by John Banville,
will rekindle the controversy surrounding his life and death.

[19] These comments were jotted down by Casement on a
letter, dated
6 June 1913, which had been
sent to him by Charles Roberts, the chairman of the Select
Committee on the Putumayo. (National Library of
Ireland, Casement (Misc.) Papers, NLI 13073).

[21] At Casement’s trial, Colonel Nicolai Belaiew, of the
Imperial Guard, identified the rifles as having been
manufactured in
Russia in 1905. See: Peter Singleton-Gates and
Maurice Girodias, The Black Diaries (New York: Grove
Press, 1959), 477.
[22] It is
interesting to note that Roddy Doyle’s fictional account of
the Easter Rising refers to the loss of the Aud, but
makes no mention of Casement as being responsible for the
shipment of arms. See Roddy Doyle, A Star Called Henry
(London: Vintage, 2000), 110.
