  • The Iconography of O'connell Street and Environs After Independence
    Symbolising the State— the iconography of O’Connell Street and environs after Independence (1922) Yvonne Whelan Academy for Irish Cultural Heritages, University of Ulster, Magee Campus Derry ABSTRACT This paper explores the iconography of Dublin’s central thoroughfare, O’Connell Street and its immediate environs in the decades following the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. It follows an earlier paper which examined the iconography of Sackville Street before Independence and turns the focus towards an analysis of the ways in which the street became a significant site for the cul- tural inscription of post-colonial national identity. It is argued that the erection of new monuments dedicated to the commemoration of the 1916 Rising, as well as the destruction of older imperial symbols, rendered visible the emergence of the newly independent Irish Free State. The paper charts this process of iconograph- ical inscription but also argues that O’Connell Street as a totality has taken on greater symbolic significance than any of the monuments that line its centre. In conclusion the paper examines the contemporary iconography of the street and addresses the apparent transition from political sculpture to public art which has taken place in recent decades throughout the city. Key index words: O’Connell Street, iconography, national identity, monuments. Introduction The great thoroughfare which the citizen of Dublin was accustomed to describe proudly “as the finest street in Europe” has been reduced to a smoking reproduction of the ruin wrought at Ypres by the mercilessness of the Hun. Elsewhere throughout the city streets have been devastated, centres of thriving industry have been placed in peril or ruined, a paralysis of work and commerce has been imposed, and the pub- lic confidence that is the life of trade and employment has received a staggering blow from which it will take almost a generation to recover” (The Freeman’s Journal, 26th April - 5th May 1916).

  • The Women Were Worse Than the Men: Crime and Society in Dublin During 1916
    The Women were Worse than the Men: Crime and Society in Dublin during 1916 The mobs that looted Dublin’s city centre in 1916 have entered the mythology of the Rising just as robustly as the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army and, as far as I am aware, it was the only occasion in the history of the capital, and possibly Ireland, when more women were convicted of criminal offences than men, hence the title of this talk. However I also want to say something about the wider impact the First World War had on crime in the city The Easter Rising made Dublin unique in the United Kingdom in that it was the only city where fighting took place and the general breakdown in law and order created new opportunities for breaking the law, just as the Defence of the Realm Act that was passed on the outbreak of the Great War created new laws to break. The incidence of serious crime by juvenile gangs, often abetted by adults, such as housebreaking and robbery of coal trains, became commonplace, along with fraudulent claims for separation allowances, theft of military property and greatly increased desertion rates from the British armed forces. At the same time the large scale recruitment of young adult males from working class districts into the armed forces saw a reduction in the pool of potential adult offenders and a decline in the population of Mountjoy Prison. But to return to the looters: newspapers characterised them in vivid terms that are remembered to this day. The Irish Times, which managed to publish almost uninterruptedly throughout the fighting, reported on Tuesday, 25 April, 1916, that on the previous night ‘Shop windows in North Earl Street were smashed, and the shops were looted.

  • Dublin City Draft Development Plan 2016-22 Dublintown Submission
    Dublin City Draft Development Plan 2016-22 DublinTown Submission DublinTown is the Business Improvement District for Dublin City Centre. The organisation was provided with a mandate to represent the city centre’s 2,500 businesses following a plebiscite of businesses in 2007. This mandate was renewed in 2012 following a second BID ballot. DublinTown welcomes the opportunity to make this submission as part of the Dublin City Development plan issues paper consultation. Introduction DublinTown believes that the City Development Plan 2011-2017 is a strong well thought out plan and if fully implemented has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for Dublin’s citizens. DublinTown previously made a detailed submission in relation to the plan and remains supportive of the vision contained within it. While we understand that circumstances can change over the life time of a plan we believe that there is merit in considering unfulfilled aspects of the 2011-2017 plan to identify those elements that could and should be still implemented. We believe that the plan once agreed should be adhered to so as to provide greater certainty and direction for the city. DublinTown would advocate that new and innovative ideas be trialled for a period of time. If they work, we all benefit and if they don’t, we can improve and modify those plans or abandon them. However, we shouldn’t be afraid to try new ideas and should accept that some concepts may not work or are perhaps be ahead of their time. However, there should be no recriminations when we consider new ideas and assess how they will work in practice.

  • Reimagining Ireland, Volume 48 : Visualizing Dublin
    REIR imagining 48 imagining ire land ire land VOLUME 48 Justin Carville (ed.) Dublin has held an important place throughout Ireland’s cultural history. The shifting configurations of the city’s streetscapes have been marked VISUALIZING DUBLIN VISUALIZING by the ideological frameworks of imperialism, its architecture embedded within the cultural politics of the nation, and its monuments and sculptures VISUALIZING DUBLIN mobilized to envision the economic ambitions of the state. This book examines the relationship of Dublin to Ireland’s social history through the VISUAL CULTURE, MODERNITY AND THE city’s visual culture. Through specific case studies of Dublin’s streetscapes, REPRESENTATION OF URBAN SPACE architecture and sculpture and its depiction in literature, photography and cinema, the contributors discuss the significance of visual experiences and representations of the city to our understanding of Irish cultural life, both past and present. Justin Carville (ed.) Drawing together scholars from across the arts, humanities and social sciences, the collection addresses two emerging themes in Irish studies: the intersection of the city with cultural politics, and the role of the visual in projecting Irish cultural identity. The essays not only ask new questions of existing cultural histories but also identify previously unexplored visual representations of the city. The book’s interdisciplinary approach seeks to broaden established understandings of visual culture within Irish studies to incorporate not only visual artefacts, but also textual descriptions and ocular experiences that contribute to how we come to look at, see and experience both Dublin and Ireland. Justin Carville teaches Historical and Theoretical Studies in Photography and Visual Culture at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire.

  • 'Fancy the Royal Irish Captured Moore Street'
    ‘Fancy the Royal Irish captured Moore Street’ Towards the end of March 1916, Michael had finished his six weeks training course at the Trinity College Officer Training Corps and was sent for further training to Ballykinlar, Co. Down. For Michael and his fellow trainees, the wooden billets at Ballykinlar were a far cry from the comforts of a plush hotel in the centre of Dublin. On 18 April, Michael began a process of constant letter writing to family and friends. He wrote to his younger brother Bernard who had just made his First Confession. Michael was pleased to hear the news that young Bernard was going to become a soldier. Not British soldier, but, as all first confesees are told, a soldier of Christ.1 Officers Company, Ballykinlar Camp, Co. Down. April 18th 1916. Dear Bernard, I was very pleased to hear from Mother that you have made your First Confession and still more pleased to hear that you are going to become a great soldier by making your First Holy Communion. I will see you I hope on Thursday next as I am getting a few days leave. I suppose you have grown quite a big chap since I saw you last. Have you lost all your chilblains yet…. I hope to be able to bring up my rifle and bayonet to show them to you and also a few other arms of destruction used in this war…. Please remember me to Mother Bridgid and other nuns. Your fond brother Michael. Michael spent Easter week 1916 in Carrickhill with his mother and the rest of his family.

Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENTBY SENATORHARRYCOLLEY, "Ard Mhuire", 11 Mount Prospect Avenue, DUBLIN. I joined the Volunteers about January, l914, - "B" Company, 1st Battalion, at 41 Parnell Square. At that tine there was a very lane number of men in "B" Company and we were being drilled by ex-British Army Instructors. I suffered from slight deafness and occasionally I found the British Army accent of the Instructors impossible to understand. This rather worried me as I seemed on occasion to upset the whole Company. In addition to that, my chum who had joined with me, suddenly came to the conclusion that these men were in earnest and said to me that he had only joined for the fun of it. He said, "I think they mean to fight", and I said, "Of course, they do. Isn't that what they're here for?'. He said, never meant to fight, I'm getting out". I always admired his moral courage about it, but in any event I fell out too on account of my hearing, but I kept on buying "The Volunteer" and other papers every week. An advertisement appeared regularly in "The Volunteer" for the Auxiliary as a unit for those who could not attend the ordinary parades but who were prepared to help when the fight should come.

  • Visualizing Dublin
    ‘Temples to the Art of Cinematography’: e Cinema on the Dublin Streetscape, – Picture Houses and the Second Birth of Cinema Few that recall the days before ‘Electric eatres’ became the vogue will need remind- ing that the earlier home of the ‘movies’ was almost invariably an old store or shop that happened to be vacant. Some enterprising individual would rent it, sweep out the dirt, ll up – or partially ll up – the f loor space with ordinary wooden chairs, place a screen at one end of the t-up and a projecting machine at the other and his ‘theatre’ was complete. Hardly more than a decade ago this primitive environment was so common that it was allowed to pass without adverse comment, yet the pic- ture theatre of to-day is a palace by comparison, and, appropriately enough, is oen called by that name. e last word in scientic construction and luxurious appoint- ment still, however, remains to be said, but unless we are greatly mistaken, Dublin’s new super cinema – which is to occupy the site of the old ‘Freeman’s Journal’ of ce in Prince’s Street – will mark an immense advance on anything hitherto achieved. […] ‘La Scala,’ as it is to be called, has been planned as a colossal temple to the art of cinematography. So comments an anonymous columnist in Ireland’s rst cinema magazine, the Irish Limelight, in April , recalling, as the article’s title puts it, ‘e side show of yesterday’. Despite the title, the writer is interested in the primitive ‘t-ups’ of the late s or early s chief ly for the colourful contrast they present to the existing ‘electric theatres’ and ‘picture palaces’ of the mid- to late-s and the coming ‘super cinemas’ of the s.
