  • Haughey and Fitzgerald| A1 Sample Answer
    Haughey and FitzGerald| A1 Sample answer What were the contributions of Charles Haughey and Garret FitzGerald to Irish Affairs? Charles Haughey and Garret FitzGerald were the two dominant men of Irish politic in the 1980s. In many ways they were polar opposites, Haughey was a working-class Northsider who craved power, while Fitzgerald was a privileged, idealistic Southsider. Both were forced to make huge decisions which would set the course of the country, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Haughey had a huge influence on Irish affairs even before he became Taoiseach. He entered his father-in-law Séan Lemass’ cabinet in 1961 as Minister for Justice, as part of a new breed of young, dynamic ministers who would help reinvent Ireland. He introduced the Succession Act which guaranteed financial entitlement and stability for widows. He brought similar reform to the Department for Agriculture from 1964 to 1966. Under Jack Lynch he served as Minister for Finance, and in that position he introduced tax exemptions for artists, free travel for the elderly and free electricity allowance for pensioners also. However, in 1970, along with Minister Neil Blaney he was accused of using public monies to smuggle illegal arms to nationalists in the North. As a result of this ‘Arms Crisis’ Haughey was dismissed from cabinet and would spent most of the 1970s slowly working his way back up the Fianna Fáil ranks. When Fianna Fáil next came to power in 1977 he was appointed Minister for health and Social Welfare. In this position he introduced the first anti-smoking campaign and a controversial family planning bill.

I started The Dorset Family out knowing very little apart from the fact that my father, and his father, came from The majority of the charts and notes in this volume relate to the Dorset family and Southampton in Hampshire.

Soon after starting on my genealogical quest I made contact with Michael Pitfield from Buckinghamshire who had already been doing some work on the Pitfield family.

    BOOK REVIEWS GARRET FITZGERALD. All in a Life: An Autobiography, Dublin: Gill and Macmillan, 1991,674 pp. IR£24.99 hardback. Until quite recently one barrier to the study of modern Irish history has been the reluctance of leading politicians to write memoirs. Political figures of such diverse backgrounds as Kevin Boland, Noel Browne, Gemma Hussey and John O'Connell have now put some of their recollections in print, but although all of these are either present or former ministers, they were privy to only part of the action taking place during their careers. Garret FitzGerald's All in a Life is a far more substantive work, and constitutes a real breakthrough in terms of its coverage of recent political events by a central participant. At the start of the book Dr FitzGerald declares that political autobiography is not history. That may be, but there is no doubt that this book is a fascinating history of its time in its own right as well as an indispensable source for professional historians. The main outline of FitzGerald's life is fairly well known. Born in Dublin in 1926, he grew up in Bray and graduated in history and modern languages from UCD before joining the fledgling Aer Lingus. Here he was appointed a "research and analysis officer" in the sales department, and since no-one knew quite what this entailed, he had to invent his own work. He found himself increasingly interested in statistics and economics and entered the academic world in the late 1950s — he does not mention the perhaps apocryphal tale that when he left Aer Lingus he had to be replaced by three men and a computer.

(Hereford Times, 28 January 1854) ??The wrecking of the RMS Tayleur made headlines nearly 60 years before the Titanic. Both were run by the White Star Line, both were heralded as the most splendid ships of their time – and both sank in tragic circumstances on their maiden voyages. ??On 19 January 1854 the Tayleur, a large merchant vessel, left Liverpool for Australia; packed with hopeful emigrants, her hold stuffed with cargo. On the 160th anniversary of the disaster, Gill Hoffs reveals new theories behind the disaster and tells the stories of the passengers and crew on the ill-fated vessel: ??Captain John Noble, record breaking hero of the Gold Rush era.
