    Ireland and the Basque Country: Nationalisms in Contact, 1895-1939 Kyle McCreanor A Thesis in the Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montréal, Québec, Canada March 2019 © Kyle McCreanor, 2019 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Kyle McCreanor Entitled: Ireland and the Basque Country: Nationalisms in Contact, 1895-1939 and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final Examining Committee: _________________________________ Chair Dr. Andrew Ivaska _________________________________ Examiner Dr. Ted McCormick _________________________________ Examiner Dr. Cameron Watson _________________________________ Supervisor Dr. Gavin Foster Approved by _________________________________________________________ Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director _______________ 2019 _________________________________________ Dean of Faculty iii Abstract Ireland and the Basque Country: Nationalisms in Contact, 1895-1939 Kyle McCreanor This thesis examines the relationships between Irish and Basque nationalists and nationalisms from 1895 to 1939—a period of rapid, drastic change in both contexts. In the Basque Country, 1895 marked the birth of the Partido Nacionalista Vasco (Basque Nationalist Party), concurrent with the development of the cultural nationalist movement known as the ‘Gaelic revival’ in pre-revolutionary Ireland. In 1939, the Spanish Civil War ended with the destruction of the Spanish Second Republic, plunging Basque nationalism into decades of intense persecution. Conversely, at this same time, Irish nationalist aspirations were realized to an unprecedented degree during the ‘republicanization’ of the Irish Free State under Irish leader Éamon de Valera.

  • Cumann Na Mban: During the Easter Rising
    Cumann na mBan: During the Easter Rising Dylan Savoie Junior Division Individual Documentary Process Paper: 500 words Once I learned about National History Day, I immediately wanted to do something related to my Irish heritage seeing as my mother was born in Ireland. In my research, I found the Easter Rising. Now that I had narrowed my selection down, I began to dig deeper, and I came across an Irish women's group, Cumann na mBan, that helped greatly in the Rising but has gone largely unnoticed in history. I tried to have a wide range of research. First, I began by searching for a video about Cumann na mBan. I had found an RTE documentary on the Easter Rising of 1916. It was in that documentary that I came across Fr. Oliver Rafferty, a professor at Boston College. I was able to obtain his email address, contact him, and we had a phone interview. I searched websites and books at my local and Boston Public Library, taking notes and citing them in Noodletools as I went. The Burns Library at Boston College has the most extensive Irish History collection outside of Ireland, so in January, I went there too and was able to obtain many primary sources. In February, I went to Boston College and interviewed Fr. Rafferty in person. I was able to talk with him and combine what I had learned in my research to understand my topic in more depth than I had before. After I collected my research, I decided that my project would be best represented in the form of a documentary.

  • Family Activities Sandymount a Beautiful Seaside Residential Suburb Just a Short Drive from the Hotel
    Tel: +353 (0)1 6681111 Web: www.claytonhotels.com Family Activities Sandymount A beautiful seaside residential suburb just a short drive from the Hotel. It is known for its long, breezy beach at Sandymount Strand, overlooked by a 19th- century Martello tower built for coastal defence. It’s a popular spot for fishing, kayaking, and weekend walks with views across Dublin Bay, also drawing crowds for summer swims in the Irish Sea. Inland, the village has upscale boutiques, delis, and gastropubs serving local oysters and mussels. DunLaoghaire This seaside town and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Ireland’s first ever railway connected the town to Dublin. Wonderfully located on the glistening south coast of Dublin bay, it can be reached by car or public transport. The local DART Station is only a 5-minute walk, or should you wish to drive – it is a 15-minute drive. Walk along the famous 2.6km East Pier all the way to the lighthouse. The pier has featured in films such as Michael Collins (1996) and Sing Street (2016). Enjoy traditional fish & chips with the family or grab an ice-cream and chose a romantic stroll instead. Bray This is a popular seaside resort, situated 21km from Dublin City centre. It is an ideal place to visit because of its proximity to both Dublin and the sites in Wicklow. Bray is the longest established seaside town in Ireland and enjoys a mile long beachfront promenade. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach and scenic walks on Bray Head. Two of the highlights in the area are Kilruddery House & Gardens, one of Irelands great houses and National Sea Life Centre, an all-weather marine and freshwater zoo.

    Mayo Commemoration Strategy 2013 – 2023 Prepared by the Mayo Commemoration Strategy Committee Recommended by MAYO COMMEMORATION STRATEGY COMMITTEE and CULTURAL, EDUCATION, HERITAGE AND CORPORATE AFFAIRS STRATEGIC POLICY COMMITTEE, at meetings on 13th June, 2013. Approved by Mayo County Council at meeting on 8/7/13. Table of Contents Introduction 1 National Context 1 Commemoration in Mayo 1 Notable Mayo Figures of the Period 2 Programme of Actions 3 Appendix I Chronology of Events 5 Appendix II Membership of Commemoration Strategy Committee 9 Appendix III Public Consultation Approved by Mayo County Council at meeting on 8/7/13. Introduction The decade from 1913 to 1923 was a defining period in modern Irish history and has shaped the political landscape of today. These years saw a series of momentous events in Ireland, and beyond, which changed the course of Irish history and led to the foundation of the state. Among the main events of the decade from 1913 to 1923 are the First World War, the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War. The role played by the labour movement at this time is pivotal, as is the role of Irish women in helping to lead the way in the fight for universal suffrage. This period in the country’s history is one characterised by great heroism as well as great suffering. All of these events contribute to one historical whole, they did not happen independently and they can not be evaluated or remembered in isolation. The coming decade will witness a series of commemorations that will give us pause to reflect on where we have come from and where we are going.

Michael Howard, Lt Gen Conor O’Boyle, Secretary General Chief of Staff ANNUAL REPORT 2012 3 4 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 FOREWORD Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence I am pleased to accept delivery of this Annual Report, which sets out the progress that the Defence Organisation has made over the course of 2012 in meeting the strategic objectives set out in the Department of Defence and Defence Forces Strategy Statement 2011 – 2014. On a day to day basis the Defence Organisation continues to deliver a broad range of services both at home and overseas.

Ireland has a proud record of supporting the United Nations. The deployment of our Defence Forces on overseas peace support missions continues to provide the most concrete expression of that support.
