Patrick Pearse Ronan McCairbre Press archive. He was confident that the Irish people, faced with the generosity and firmness of the British government, would choose to remain within the Empire: Personally I wished to see the Irish confronted on the one hand with the realisation of all that they had asked for, and of all that Gladstone had striven for, and upon the other with the most unlimited exercise of rough-handed force. In confronting those tactics on behalf of the British Winston Churchill engaged in similar behaviour, including killing and hostage-taking.

On 12 April he informed Collins that the British government expected the Free State to maintain order and enforce the terms of the Treaty: It is obvious that in the long run the government, however patient, must assert itself or perish and be replaced by some other form of control.

  • Michael Collins
    Collins, Michael by M. A. Hopkinson Collins, Michael (1890–1922), revolutionary leader, chairman of the Irish provisional government, and commander-in-chief of the provisional government army, was born 16 October 1890 at Woodfield, Sam's Cross, west Co. Cork, last born of three sons and five daughters of Michael Collins, tenant farmer (aged 75 at Collins's birth), and Mary Anne Collins (née O'Brien), who continued to work on the family farm after being widowed, dying of cancer in 1907. Educated at Lisavaird and Clonakilty national schools, he left school aged 15 and moved to London to work as a clerk, first in West Kensington post office savings bank, then at a stockbroker's in the City (1910), and subsequently at the Board of Trade (1914). Before leaving London, he was employed by the Guaranty Trust Co. during 1915. He became an enthusiastic participant in GAA and Gaelic League activities, both as a player and as an administrator, and was sworn into the IRB in 1909. In 1914 he joined the Irish Volunteers, and was appointed treasurer of the IRB for southern England. His London experience in the enclosed exile nationalist community was more important than has often been allowed: he became an avid reader of popular fiction, notably Conan Doyle, and through his employment he accumulated invaluable administrative experience. Old London friends were to be key contacts later in his intelligence network. Insurrection and politics Collins returned to Ireland in January 1916 and became a financial adviser to Count Plunkett (qv). He played a backroom role in the GPO as ADC to Joseph Plunkett (qv) during the Easter rising; he was strongly critical of the sacrificial philosophy and tactics of Pearse (qv), but admired the dedication and ruthlessness of IRB leaders such as Tom Clarke (qv) and Seán Mac Diarmada (qv).

The aim of this policy document is to define what the museum collects and to establish the rationale for the collections. Acquisitions outside the current stated policy will only be made in very exceptional circumstances and then only under proper consideration. 1. Vision and Mission 1.1 ‘We welcome everyone interested in the history and culture of Cork, and promote a wider understanding of its material and historical heritage by collecting and preserving and displaying our collections and making them accessible in engaging, educational and enjoyable ways for all our patrons.’ 1.2 This policy is intended to help the museum achieve its mission through focused collecting. It supersedes all previous and existing practices and policies, formal or informal, relating to the acquisition of objects for the collections of Cork Public Museum. It is planned that this and any subsequent policies will be discussed annually by museum management. A detailed review of the Policy will be conducted every five years and any revised statement will be submitted to the City Council Members for approval. The adoption and implementation of this policy by Cork City Council is a requirement of the Heritage Council’s Museum Standards Programme for Ireland. 1.3 This policy recognises the collection as its greatest resource and sets out how the museum intends to accomplish its mission by: • Collecting, preserving and exhibiting Cork’s portable material heritage and natural history • Promoting the collections and making them accessible to local, national and international audiences.

  • Between Irish National Cinema and Hollywood: Neil Jordan's Michael
    Estudios Irlandeses , Number 2, 2007, pp. 121-127 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Between Irish National Cinema and Hollywood: Neil Jordan’s Michael Collins By Raita Merivirta-Chakrabarti University of Turku, Finland Copyright (c) 2007 by Raita Merivirta-Chakrabarti. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. When Neil Jordan’s film Michael Collins was released in 1996, it was seen by some as a Hollywood epic, by others as a great national film. I would argue that Michael Collins combines these two traditions and occupies a space between Irish national cinema and Hollywood. The subject matter, the creative talent and the locations were Irish and the film was produced by using the Irish filmmaking infrastructure and the Irish government’s support mechanisms, but it was largely financed and distributed by a Hollywood studio. Also, to make it more appealing especially globally, but probably also locally (since Hollywood is now the international standard), it makes use of Hollywood conventions, making it accessible to international audiences as well. Despite the Hollywood mode, the fact remains that Michael Collins is a national film text, and Jordan does not make too many concessions to the non-Irish audiences. Key Words. Ireland, national cinema, Hollywood, Michael Collins, Neil Jordan. Resumen. Cuando la película Michael Collins de Neil Jordan se estrenó en 1996, unos la consideraron una epopeya Hollywoodiense, otros una gran película nacional. Yo sostengo que Michael Collins combina estas dos tradiciones y ocupa un espacio entre el cine nacional irlandés y Hollywood.

  • Music by Joshua Salzman Book and Lyrics by Ryan Cunningham
    Michael Collins 1.3.19 -1- Salzman and Cunningham Michael Collins Music by Joshua Salzman Book and Lyrics by Ryan Cunningham Michael Collins 1.3.19 -2- Salzman and Cunningham SYNOPSIS MICHAEL COLLINS follows the true story of the Irish Rebel of the same name—but it’s more than just an Irish story. It’s a universal story of how people respond to oppression and the terrible cost to the oppressed when that response is violent—even if it ultimately leads to freedom. It begins in 1916, during the failed Easter Rising against the British. As a young soldier, Michael Collins sees the flawed methods that continually lead the Irish people to lose in uprising after uprising. Upon being released from prison, he joins with other rebels (Eamon De Valera, Harry Boland, Arthur Griffith, Cathal Brugha, and Tom Hales) to start a new kind of revolution: one that would eventually bring the British to the negotiating table for the first time in history and free Ireland—and cost Michael everything he holds dear. Michael Collins 1.3.19 -3- Salzman and Cunningham CAST: 14: 7 men—4 principals; 7 women—3 principals (CASTING NOTE: The cast should be made up of people who reflect the community in which the show is being presented—including and especially ethnic background and gender. The people of that community are telling an Irish story—but they begin the play as themselves in their own accents, presenting in their chosen gender. As the show begins, they pick up Irish instruments, adopt Irish accents, don Irish clothing, and portray character-specific genders

    NUI MAYNOOTH Ollscoil na hiireann Mi Nuad THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL POLITICS OF HEROIC MASCULINITY IN TWENTIETH CENTURY IRELAND: IMAGING MICHAEL COLLINS by DAMIEN ROBERT CARBERRY THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PH.D. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: Dr. Dympna McLoughlin JANUARY 2007 The social and cultural politics of heroic masculinity in twentieth century Ireland: imaging Michael Collins. by Damien Robert Carberry Sum m ary This thesis examines the socially and culturally defined character of masculinities through a case study of the heroic legacy of Michael Collins. Utilising a multi­ disciplinary methodology the study investigates; both biographical and prominent written historical material, Neil Jordan’s movie, Collins’ contribution to the Treaty debates of 1921-22, his private correspondence with Kitty Kiernan and a selection of remembrance rhetoric pertaining to him over the course of the twentieth century. This treatise interprets Michael Collins from a different perspective than previous analyses. The methodology is fashioned by a desire to develop a more substantial and comprehensive body of material that addresses the histories of masculinities in Ireland. Priority is given to determining the influence of socially and culturally defined expectations of masculinities on conceptualisations and perceptions of the heroic image and conversely for the influence and relevance this image has for the historical identity of Michael Collins. The dissertation addresses the complex and socially determined political nature of that composition, where politics is understood firstly as the social and cultural intricacies that influence gender configuration, and secondly as the ideology of political power. In six chapters, an outline, contextualisation and examination of the selected sources are undertaken incorporating the use of contemporary theories of masculinities and comparative histories of masculinities studies.

  • Latter-Day Mother Irelands: the Role of Women in Michael Collins and the Wind That Shakes the Barley
    Estudios Irlandeses , Number 2, 2007, pp. 183-204 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Latter-day Mother Irelands: The Role of Women in Michael Collins and The Wind that Shakes the Barley By Pilar Villar-Argáiz University of Granada, Spain Copyright (c) 2007 by Pilar Villar-Argáiz. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. Despite the experimental and subversive work of Irish feminist filmmakers such as Pat Murphy and Margo Harkin in the 1980s, as Gerardine Meaney has contended, “the image of woman as Ireland, Ireland as woman, remains powerful and pervasive in the new Irish cinema” (1998: 250). The cinematic convention of representing Ireland through female characters becomes particularly relevant in two recent Irish historical films: Michael Collins (1996), directed and written by Irish Neil Jordan, and The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006), written by Scottish Paul Laverty and directed by English Ken Loach. In their dealing with themes such as military occupation, colonisation and the heated debate about the Treaty, both films maintain the nationalist rhetoric that represents Ireland as a woman/mother in a direct manner. Over the course of this essay, I shall try to chart the implications of both films’ representations of women, with a view to demonstrating how, even at present, the trope of Mother Ireland continues to be deep in the national unconscious. Key Words. Cinematic representations of Ireland; Michael Collins; The Wind that Shakes the Barley; trope of Mother Ireland; female republican activism.
