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.

Irish responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh Department of History School of Humanities National University of Ireland, Galway December 2012 ABSTRACT This project assesses the impact of the first fascist power, its ethos and propaganda, on key constituencies of opinion in the Irish Free State. Accordingly, it explores the attitudes, views and concerns expressed by members of religious organisations; prominent journalists and academics; government officials/supporters and other members of the political class in Ireland, including republican and labour activists. By contextualising the Irish response to Fascist Italy within the wider patterns of cultural, political and ecclesiastical life in the Free State, the project provides original insights into the configuration of ideology and social forces in post-independence Ireland. Structurally, the thesis begins with a two-chapter account of conflicting confessional responses to Italian Fascism, followed by an analysis of diplomatic intercourse between Ireland and Italy. Next, the thesis examines some controversial policies pursued by Cumann na nGaedheal, and assesses their links to similar Fascist initiatives. The penultimate chapter focuses upon the remarkably ambiguous attitude to Mussolini’s Italy demonstrated by early Fianna Fáil, whilst the final section recounts the intensely hostile response of the Irish labour movement, both to the Italian regime, and indeed to Mussolini’s Irish apologists.

  • About Towards a Republic
    About Towards a Republic Towards a Republic is an innovative digitisation and engagement project which opens up the archives of the National Library of Ireland to tell the story of Ireland’s journey to independence. Part of the Library’s ongoing projects marking the Irish Decade of Centenaries (1912-1923), Towards a Republic provides insights into the events and personalities that shaped the revolutionary period in Ireland. Material that has been newly digitised and catalogued for Towards a Republic includes the personal papers of Arthur Griffith, Annie O’Farrelly, Elizabeth O’Farrell and Julia Grenan, Austin Stack and Laurence Ginnell, amongst many others. Further material highlights the activities of important organisations such as the Irish National Aid and Volunteers Dependents Fund which provided much needed financial support to the families of men killed or arrested during the 1916 Easter Rising. These collections offer insights into the complex events and people that shaped the later revolutionary period and Irish Civil War. The primary evidence revealed by Towards a Republic helps us to understand and contextualise the decisions, motivations and reactions of these men and women within the complicated and changing world they lived in a century ago. For example, the letters and memoirs of Kathleen Clarke, a prominent republican nationalist, recall her early life in Limerick as part of an influential Fenian family, and her meeting and later marriage to Tom Clarke, his participation in the Easter Rising and subsequent execution. Her memoirs, which are both handwritten and typescripts, detail her imprisonment in Holloway Jail and her influential political career in Sinn Féin.
