Dates: 1976- 1995 Administrative History: The Irish Prisoner of War Committee formed in 1981 in Ireland. Following Ireland’s establishment, Irish Prisoner of War Committees surfaced in Hamilton, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Throughout its operation, the Vancouver Irish Prisoner of War Committee (V.I.P.O.W.C.) held rallies, hosted lectures, organized protests, campaigned for prisoner rights’ in the pursuit of Irish Republicanism. The V.I.P.OW.C. also supported other human rights organizations such as Amnesty International. Producing a weekly radio show for Vancouver Co-Op Radio comprised one of the primary activities of the V.I.P.O.W.C. In 1987, the V.I.P.O.W.C. changed its name to the Irish Solidarity Committee as a member of the newly formed Canadian Irish Solidarity Network. The Irish Solidarity Committee established itself to coordinate Irish Solidarity Groups in Canada and receive representation from Sinn Fein. The Irish Solidarity Committee also produced a newsletter: “The Irish Solidarity News.” Scope and Content: The fonds primarily consists of the organizational, administrative, and operational records of the V.I.P.O.W.C. and the Irish Solidarity Committee dating from 1977 to 1994. The fonds also includes 165 audio cassettes of “Saoirse Eirleann.” The fonds divides into three series: The Textual Material Series, the “Saoirse Eirleann” Audio Cassette Series, and the Events Material Series. Source of Supplied Title: Title based on contents of Fonds General Note: The “Saoirse Eirleann” Audio Cassette Series can be found in the audio visual collection of UBC Rare Books and Special Collections. Arrangement Note: The original file titles of the V.I.P.O.W.C. and the Irish Solidarity Committee have been retained in the inventory. To further illuminate the file titles, additional information regarding subjects and materials have been added in hyphenate to the file title. The change of organizational name did not alter the records of the V.I.P.O.W.C. and the Irish Solidarity Committee. It appears that the Irish Solidarity Committee maintained and added to subject files already in use by the V.I.P.O.W.C. The V.I.P.O.W.C also subscribed to local magazines and newspapers including The Celtic Connection . The V.I.O.W.C. also received Irish Republican newspapers from Ireland including An-Phoblact, The Andersontown News, Troops Out, The Starry Plough, the Captive Voice, as well as magazines related to Women’s rights such as Iris and Women in 3 Struggle. These magazines and periodicals have been removed from the fonds, but can be located in the U.B.C. library catalogue. Related Material: The editorial work of V.I.P.O.W.C. president, Roisin Sheehy- Culhane, daughter of Claire Culhane, can be found in the Mick Lowe Fonds located at U.B.C. Rare Books and Special Collections. Mick Lowe published One Woman Army, a biography on prison rights’ activist, Claire Culhane, and Roisin Sheehy-Culhane edited several chapters of the biography. More biographical information about Roisin Sheehey- Culahne can also be located in One Woman Army. The Canadian Ethnic Studies Journal published Sheehy-Culhane’s “Ode to an Orangeman” in 1998. Sheehy-Culhane also self-published a children’s book When Mama Goes to Work: Devin’s Story in 2006. 4 SERIES 1 Title: Vancouver Irish Prisoner of War Committee Textual Material Series Creator: Vancouver Irish Prisoner of War Committee Extent: 1.98 m of textual material Scope and Content: The series consists of correspondence, newsletters, fliers, leaflets, magazines, newspaper clippings, financial records, poetry, and essays reflecting the activities of the V.I.P.O.W.C.

  • Miscellaneous Notes on Republicanism and Socialism in Cork City, 1954–69
    MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON REPUBLICANISM AND SOCIALISM IN CORK CITY, 1954–69 By Jim Lane Note: What follows deals almost entirely with internal divisions within Cork republicanism and is not meant as a comprehensive outline of republican and left-wing activities in the city during the period covered. Moreover, these notes were put together following specific queries from historical researchers and, hence, the focus at times is on matters that they raised. 1954 In 1954, at the age of 16 years, I joined the following branches of the Republican Movement: Sinn Féin, the Irish Republican Army and the Cork Volunteers’Pipe Band. The most immediate influence on my joining was the discovery that fellow Corkmen were being given the opportunity of engag- ing with British Forces in an effort to drive them out of occupied Ireland. This awareness developed when three Cork IRA volunteers were arrested in the North following a failed raid on a British mil- itary barracks; their arrest and imprisonment for 10 years was not a deterrent in any way. My think- ing on armed struggle at that time was informed by much reading on the events of the Tan and Civil Wars. I had been influenced also, a few years earlier, by the campaigning of the Anti-Partition League. Once in the IRA, our initial training was a three-month republican educational course, which was given by Tomas Óg MacCurtain, son of the Lord Mayor of Cork, Tomas MacCurtain, who was murdered by British forces at his home in 1920. This course was followed by arms and explosives training.

  • Colour in the Plays of Sean O'casey
    “To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face”: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey Ryan K Evans This thesis is submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy August 2019 English and Creative Writing “To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face”: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey Declaration This thesis has not been submitted in support of an application for another degree at this or any other university. It is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated. Many of the ideas in this thesis were the product of discussion with my supervisors Tony Pinkney and Tony Sharpe. Ryan Evans Lancaster University, UK Ryan K Evans July 2019 ii “To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face”: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey Abstract This thesis examines the presence and use of colour in the plays of Sean O’Casey and argues that while a portion of colour in the drama is aesthetic, another portion is intentionally utilized as a means to provide additional contextual commentary, be it cultural, religious, political, or artistic in nature. This practice stems, I argue, in part because of O’Casey’s tendency towards an appreciation for beautiful things stemming from his artistic leanings.
