Dublin Castle scandal

The Dublin Castle scandal was a controversy involving the administration of British rule in Ireland in 1884. Irish nationalists, including William O'Brien (via United Ireland), alleged homosexual orgies among the staff at Dublin Castle, the seat of the British government's administration in Ireland until 1922. Following a failed libel action, several members of the administration were convicted of participating in male homosexual acts.
