Bhí clú an náisiúnachais ar Chontae Laoise san aois seo caite, dar leis an údar. Bhí sé sin le léamh ar liosta de na clubanna CLG in 1890 a léirigh go raibh sé ar an séú contae ba threise tacaíocht sa tír. Bhí rian an Fhíníneachais go láidir ar an clubanna seo. Roimhe sin bhí Éirí Amach beag ann in 1867.
County Laois had a reputation for nationalism in the last century, according to the author. A listing of GAA clubs in 1890 shows Laois to have been the sixth strongest GAA county in the country. These clubs were greatly influenced by Fenianism. Previously, in 1867, there had been minor insurrection.
