There's been some assertions that his birth name was Edmund, not Edward. The only full-length biography of him that I know of (okay, at 139 pages it's pretty damn short, but it's still a biography) lists him as "Edward". If someone has a comparable source indicating otherwise please say what it is, and we can try to get to the truth from there. -R. fiend 04:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was make sense if his birth name was Edmund. After all Éamonn is Irish for Edmund, not Edward (althought I admit Edmund is often mistranslated as Éamonn). Éadbhárd is Irish for Edward.Derry Boi 14:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

His career working for the LGBI not British?[edit]

Reading: "After finishing he was presented with the opportunity to work for the civil service but turned this position down as he felt he would be working for the British. He went on to secure a job with the clerical staff of the City Treasurer and Estates and Finances office; he was working as an accountant with the Dublin Corporation from 1901-1916."

The Corpo was being funded and run by the Local Government Board for Ireland, which was by every definition "working for the British". Anyone want to correct this? 78.18.193.36 (talk) 10:50, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, the Corporation was elected by popular franchise, i.e. all ratepayers, men and women. From the 1899 elections onwards, it was dominated by Irish nationalists. Yes, it was nominally under the LGB, but to consider its employees as "working for the British" is hair-splitting. I see no reason to change the text. Scolaire (talk) 13:28, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
