Many clubs and societies emerged in Tulsk during the late 19th to early 20th century, including branches of the United Irish League, Shepherd's Association, Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Land League and Sinn Fein. The ladies of Tulsk had their own branch of the Land League after the Irish National Land League was founded in Castlebar in 1879 by Charles Stewart Parnell, Michael Davitt, Andrew Kettle and Thomas Brennan. Regular meetings in Tulsk were recorded for local newspapers at the time, including the Roscommon Weekly Messenger.
