  • '“War News” Is Published Today Because a Momentous Thing Has
    ‘The Irish Republic was proclaimed by poster’: the politics of commemorating the Easter Rising Roisín Higgins In a city beset by rumours, the leaders of the Easter Rising quickly began to consolidate their message. On the second day of the insurrection they issued War News, a four page news sheet priced at a penny: ‘“War News” is published today because a momentous thing has happened. … The Irish Republic was proclaimed by poster, which was prominently displayed in Dublin’. War News also carried a report of the statement made by Patrick Pearse that morning which said: The Irish Republic was proclaimed in Dublin on Easter Monday, 24th April, at 12 noon. Simultaneously with the issue of the proclamation of the Provisional Government the Dublin Division of the Army of the Republic, including the Irish Volunteers, Citizen Army, Hibernian Rifles, and other bodies, occupied dominating points in the city. The G.P.O was seized at 12 noon, the Castle was attacked at the same moment, and shortly afterwards the Four Courts were occupied. 1 Two things are striking about this account of the events of Easter Monday. Firstly, there is a very clear attempt to specify the exact moment of origin - to convey a sense of absolute alignment - and, secondly, there is no reference to the Proclamation having been read aloud. The Irish Republic was proclaimed not by Pearse but by poster. Therefore, even though a considerable amount of attention was being paid to how the Easter Rising should be recorded and remembered, the most powerful feature of its subsequent commemorative ritual was overlooked.

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.

  • 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.

  • Junior Cycle Reform: Motion
    Junior Cycle Reform: Motion Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: I move: That Seanad Éireann----- notes the proposals developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment in "Towards a Framework for Junior Cycle - Innovation and Identity", and "A Framework for Junior Cycle" subsequently published by the Department of Education and Skills, and calls on the Minister for Education and Skills to give his assurance that history will be reinstated as a core subject for the Junior Certificate. I will not call for a quorum on this very important subject, although I have that right. What do we need to know? That is the real question. Does it matter that we do not have a quorum? Acting Chairman (Senator Imelda Henry): The sitting can continue without a quorum but if the Senator wishes to call one she may do so. Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: I think I will call a quorum, yes. Notice taken that 12 members were not present; House counted and 12 Members being present, Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: The real question surrounding this Private Members' motion is what do we or, in particular, what young people need to know in order to understand how the world became what we perceive it to be today. They will not learn this through technology or the "X Factor". One of the most radical and extraordinary thinkers in education was Neil Postman. He believed that for education to be meaningful, young people, their parents and teachers must have a common narrative. The question I put to those Senators who have turned up for this debate is "Do we have a common narrative?" If we do, how could the Department of Education and Skills, when the History Teachers Association disagrees so vehemently, change history from a core subject to a discrete subject in the junior cycle? There are many false gods of modern education lurking around and trying to get attention.

  • Area Irish Music Events
    MOHAWK VALLEY IRISH CULTURAL Volume 13, Issue 4 EVENTS NEWSLETTER Apr 2016 “Hel-l-o-o-o-o Central New York!” Elders Headline “An Irish Night at the Stanley” The boys – and lady -- are back! Area favorites and Great American Irish Festival perennials, the Elders, make a rare return to the area this weekend, bringing their high-energy Celtic roots show to the magnificent Stanley Theater, on Friday, April 8th; headlining “An Irish Night at the Stanley.” Kicking off the 7:30 concert will be Hair of the Dog from the Capitol District, and local favorites, the Blarney Rebel Band. Also appearing during the show will be dancers from the Butler-Sheehan Academy of Traditional Irish Dance and the Johnston School of Irish Dance. The Elders – guitarist Steve Phillips, multi-instrumentalist Brent Hoad, bassist Norm Dahlor, fiddler Diana Ladio, drummer/mandolinist Kian Byrne and indefatigable front man, Ian Byrne – captured the hearts and ears of Central New York in their first GAIF appearance in 2007, and while their lineup has seen some changes since then, their infectious energy has, if anything, gotten stronger. Since forming in 1998, The Elders have set the American music scene on its ear, thanks to a skillful mix of amped-up roots rock, augmented with powerful vocals, blazing instrumentals and top-notch song writing. Their songs are mystical, comical, political and cultural and cover a variety of topics like poverty, civil war, family bonds, spirituality, love and friendship; recounting stories of people, places and events, real and imagined. The Elders have produced seven full-length studio CDs and three live CD/DVDs, and their latest album “Story Road” cements their position as a great band at the top of their game.
