I went to Liverpool in 1907. Then I became directly associated with the physical force movement, the I.R.B., in February 1908. The Centre was Liverpool and the man in charge at that time was Dan McCarthy. I attended all the meetings. The membership was roughly about 20, that is, taking in Bootle and Liverpool combined. Included in this number were a few men who had been associated with the '67 movement. One man I would like to mention in particular was the late James Murphy who marched on Chester Castle in the Rising of '67. We had also visiting us there during that period O'Donovan Rossa, O'Meara and Condon. The activities at that time were mainly concerned with the holding of meetings. One incident that I would like to record was when, on the death of King Edward VII, the United Irish League flew the Irish flag at half-mast.

  • Culture & Heritage
    Culture & Heritage Oct – Dec 2009 Events, News & Features Culture During the months of October through December the Irish cultural calendar is absolutely jam-packed. For starters, the must-see Francis Bacon Centenary celebration at the Hugh Lane Gallery is getting underway shortly, as is the new Opera Ireland season at the Gaiety Theatre. And what better way to combat the longer, darker winter evenings than with a spot of theatre! And of course few things can rival being able to catch some quality traditional music, as you sit by a roaring fire as the night time chill closes in. So be sure not to miss the Ennis Trad Festival this November! There is no shortage of festivals, exhibitions and cultural events to see you safely through to the New Year. Please keep reading for a taste of what’s on offer in the coming months. Heritage Beloved by both children and adults across the globe, the feast of Hallowe’en – Samhain - will shortly be upon us. The historic county of Meath can lay claim to being the original site of this spiritual celebration and is holding a range of events in the run up to the 31 st October. And thrill seekers should head to Ballyhoura in County Limerick this Hallow’en for a different type of hair-raising experience! Visitors will be delighted to note several new and improved attractions opening in their doors over the approaching months such as the very exciting new and interactive Wax Museum Plus not to mention the newly developed Viking experience at Dublinia.

  • The Top-30 of Economists in Ireland
    Working Paper No. 386 May 2011 Does the housing market reflect cultural heritage? A case study of Greater Dublin Mirko Moro*, Karen Mayor**, Seán Lyons***, Richard S.J. Tol**** Abstract: Does the housing market reflect cultural heritage? We estimate several specifications of a hedonic price equation to establish whether distance to cultural heritage site is capitalised into housing prices in Greater Dublin, Ireland. The results show that distance to the nearest historic building has a significant and robust effect on housing prices. To our knowledge this is the first application of the hedonic price method to cultural heritage.
