The Parnell Leadership Committee of Tubber, Co.Clare was composed of Messrs. J.McInerney (president), H Deblaquiere (treasurer) and James Cusack (secretary).

Various collections were raised to assist Charles Parnell over the years, e.g. the collection called "The Parnell Testimonial Fund" in 1881, but I cannot find any records of the founding of this Parnell Leadership Fund.
