PDF Version Included on Caln with the Permission of the Author NOTES Politics in the Streets The origins of the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland by Bob Purdie (1990) Originally published by The Blackstaff Press, Belfast PDF version included on CAlN with the permission of the author http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/events/crightslpurdiel NOTES Where the title of a book, article or pamphlet is not given fully, the complete reference will be found in the bibliography. In some cases collections of papers in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland had not been fully catalogued when I consulted them and it has not been possible, therefore, to give a fuller reference than the general accession number.

  • 1 British Signals Intelligence and the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland ABSTRACT Historians for Decades Have Placed Room 40, the Fi
    British Signals Intelligence and the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland ABSTRACT Historians for decades have placed Room 40, the First World War British naval signals intelligence organization, at the centre of narratives about the British anticipation of and response to the Easter Rising in Ireland in 1916. A series of crucial decrypts of telegrams between the German embassy in Washington and Berlin, it has been believed, provided significant advance intelligence about the Rising before it took place. This article upends previous accounts by demonstrating that Room 40 possessed far less advance knowledge about the Rising than has been believed, with most of the supposedly key decrypts not being generated until months after the Rising had taken place. INTRODUCTION A key moment in twentieth century Irish history, on Easter Monday 1916 a group of rebels launched in Dublin an uprising against British rule. Carefully prepared in advance, the Irish rebels had previously sought German assistance in providing arms and in organizing transport for famed Irish nationalist Roger Casement. The Germans agreed to provide this assistance, dispatching Casement aboard a German submarine and organizing a covert landing of munitions aboard a merchant ship masquerading as the Norwegian steamer Aud. The arms, however, were intercepted and Casement captured by the British authorities. Notwithstanding these reverses, the uprising went forward shortly thereafter on Easter Monday, 24 April 1916. Though apparently catching the British authorities in Ireland by surprise, the uprising was put down by the British in a violent crackdown. For decades, signals intelligence has been treated as the linchpin in our understanding of the British anticipation of and response to these events.

  • Cultural Identity Represented: Celticness in Ireland
    Ethnologie Cultural identity represented: Celticness in Ireland Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophischen Fakultät der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität zu Münster (Westf.) vorgelegt von Sabine Hezel aus Oberhausen 2006 Tag des Abschlusses: 16.11.2006 Dekan: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. Wichard Woyke Referent: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Josephus D.M. Platenkamp Korreferent: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Andreas Hartmann Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks to all the people in Ireland who gave me valuable assistance in the researching of this thesis. First of all I want to thank Ann Tighe and Claire Sheridan. Without their friendship and help in distributing questionnaires and introducing me to a number of people, my stay in Galway would have been a lot less informative (and less pleasant). Thanks also to all the people who filled out questionnaires and were willing to give interviews. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to work in my own office, which was provided by the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the National University Ireland, Galway, and the help that was provided by Dr. Niall O Dochartaigh. Special thanks also to my PhD tutor Prof. Dr. J. Platenkamp. His continually constructive and helpful critique substantially contributed to the completion of this thesis. But above all my thanks go to Dave Hegarty. His love, patience and understanding were an inexhaustible source for strength and support. Ohne die Hilfe meiner Eltern, Anne und Johann Hezel, wäre es mir nicht möglich gewesen, ein Jahr in Irland zu verbringen. Ihnen gilt daher mein ganz besonderer Dank. Ohne ihr stets wohlwollendes Verständnis und ihre Unterstützung wäre diese Arbeit nicht zustande gekommen.

    1 John Horgan “Aggiornamento”, in Bright, Brilliant Days: Douglas Gageby and the Irish Times, Andrew Whittaker (ed.) A.A Farmar, Dublin 2006, pp. 59-69. When I first attempted to join the staff of the Irish Times, I hadn’t even heard of Douglas Gageby. I had an introduction to Seamus Kelly1 and worked that line for a time until, after dozens of phone calls to the ‘Irishman’s Diary’ office which—to my innocent surprise and eventual disillusionment—were never answered and never returned, I knocked on the door of Conor O’Brien at the Evening Press and got a job. Not much later, now working for Des Fisher at the Catholic Herald in London, I ingratiated myself with Donal Foley and John Arnott2 by re-writing press releases as paragraphs for their ‘London Letter’ in the Irish Times on an unpaid basis during my lunch break. A job prospect materialized in some curiously unspecified fashion and, after an interview by Alan Montgomery3 at a Formica-covered table in the Kardomah Café in Charing Cross, I was hired. With the arrogance of youth (and probably at Donal’s instigation) I responded to the job offer with an audacious request to Monty for an assurance that the Irish Times was not about to go bust. Even more amazingly, I got it. I still hadn’t heard of Gageby. I worked for a couple of months in the Irish Times office in Printing House Square, the headquarters of The Times, before coming back to Dublin in September 1963. The man who had hired me was gone—to a sinecure in Guinness’s from which he dispensed countless buckshee barrels of stout to any journalist (myself included) who rang him up on the eve of a party.

They beat us with batons, they beat us with fists, they sprayed us all over with water. fnmz 'October the Fifth' (civil rights song) NICRA was the best-known civil rights group but it was neither the first nor the only organisation to agitate on civil rights demands. It was, however, the most important group within the civil rights movement and it initiated the events that led to the creation of a mass movement. For a time it provided an umbrella beneath which the other organisations came together. It began life as a counterpart to the NCCL, but even in this it was not original; in 1962 a Northern Ireland Council for Civil Liberties (NICCL) was set up. In June 1962 the NCCL had adopted a resolution from the Connolly Association calling for an inquiry into civil liberties in Northern Ireland; the NICCL seems to have been set up in response and as its first action, in July, it held a meeting to prepare a memorandum on civil rights to present to Mr Justice Bose of the International Commission of Jurists, who was visiting Belfast. Martin Emals of the NCCL visited Northern Ireland in Septem- ber 1962 to investigate the situation but he was rebuffed by the Nationalist leader, Eddie McAteer, who told journalists that an inquiry at this stage would be inadvisable.
