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),[1] alleged homosexual orgies among the staff at Dublin Castle, the seat of the British government's administration in Ireland until 1922.[2][3][4][5] Following a failed libel action, several members of the administration were convicted of participating in male homosexual acts.[6]
