Talbot, Matt

The Oxford Companion to Irish History | 2007 | Copyright

Talbot, Matt (1856–1925), ascetic and figure of popular devotion. Born in Dublin, Talbot fell into alcohol abuse at an early age. In 1884, while working in the port of Dublin, he underwent a religious conversion. Taking the teetotal pledge, he committed himself to regular sacramental practice, acts of physical penance, and practical charitable activity, notably during the Dublin lockout. Beatified in 1976, his cult is popular in places as far afield as Poland.
