Belfast Heritage Trail Slí Oidhreachta Bhéal Feirste 1916 Belfast Heritage Trail Following Belfast’s Footsteps to the Easter Rising 2 Slí Oidhreachta Bhéal Feirste 1916 Belfast Heritage Trail 1916 and the Easter Rising changed Irish History, whilst the main events and the executions were centred in and around Dublin the full part played by those from Belfast has never fully been recognised until now. This new heritage trail uncovers the story and recognises the roles of many individuals from Belfast who played their part in organising one of the most historic events of the 20th century when a small group of Irish rebels took on the British Empire. 15 granite plaques have been commissioned and erected throughout the city that uncovers Belfast’s hidden heritage and showcases this seminal moment in the history of our city. 1 Eoin MacNeill Location: Lincoln Avenue, Antrim Road Eoin MacNeill was born in Glenarm, County Antrim, on 15 May 1867. He attended the local Protestant school in the village and St Malachy’s College, Belfast. He worked in the Accountant General’s office, Dublin and completed a degree course in economics, jurisprudence and constitutional history at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1893 he was involved in the formation of the Gaelic League. Also an Irish Volunteer, he was selected as Chief of Staff. On Easter Sunday 1916 an advertisement appeared in the newspaper the Sunday Independent and signed by Eoin MacNeill countermanding the order for the Irish Volunteers to mobilise. As a result, the Volunteer movement was thrown into a state of confusion. This led to the postponement of the rising until the following day, as a result the Rising was confined mainly to Dublin. In the aftermath of the Rising MacNeill was arrested and held in Arbour Hill Prison. He was court-martialled on 24 May 1916 and was sentenced to penal servitude for life. He was released in 1917. 3 Bulmer Hobson Location: 290 Antrim Road Bulmer Hobson was a Quaker and printer by trade was born in Belfast on 14 January 1883.

An interest in arts, politics and culture pushed her in the direction of the Gaelic League and the Women’s Suffrage movement. On Easter Monday, 24 April 1916, Winnie, with her typewriter under her arm, marched with a detachment of the Irish Citizens’Army from Liberty Hall to the General Post Office in the centre of Dublin.

    The 1916 Rising and County Wexford Introduction The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack is an introduction to County Wexford’s contribution to the uprising of that year. It offers information on many aspects: causes and context, a timeline of events, the aftermath, profiles of some local leaders, the role of women, and arts and literature inspired by the Rising, among others. Extracts from original documents of the period - letters, newspaper accounts, and witness statements are included. The selection provides a flavour of life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland and in County Wexford. It is intended to encourage and enable students to embark on further study. The pack includes references for all sources quoted and offers guidance to sources and resources for further research. The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack cannot and does not attempt to tell the story of the Rising in its entirety. Rather, it introduces the reader to the wealth of information available in primary sources - an essential starting point for all reliable research- and in books, websites and other e-sources. The pack focuses in particular on local supports - the materials in the Wexford Studies Collections located on the top floor of the County Library in Mallin St., Wexford town, and in the Wexford County Archive collections in Ardcavan, Wexford. While every effort is made here to offer as current a resource as possible, you are directed also to the Council’s website for the 2016 Commemorations, www.enniscorthy1916.ie which will be updated beyond the print date of this publication.

By Mamie Hay. Pp 272, illus. Manchester: Manchester University Press. 2009. ?55 hardback; ?18.99 paperback. Bulmer Hobson's formative influence in numerous political and cultural organisations begs the question as to why, until now, his autobiographical Ireland: yesterday and tomorrow (1968) remained the only consequential account of his career. Dr Hay expresses little surprise, however, at this historiographical gap. In fact, Hobson's position as 'worsted in the political game' (p. 1) serves as this book's premise.

  • Easter Rising of 1916 Chairs: Abby Nicholson ’19 and Lex Keegan Jiganti ’19 Rapporteur: Samantha Davidson ’19
    Historical Crisis: Easter Rising of 1916 Chairs: Abby Nicholson ’19 and Lex Keegan Jiganti ’19 Rapporteur: Samantha Davidson ’19 CAMUN 2018: Easter Rising of 1916 Page 1 of 6 Dear Delegates, Welcome to CAMUN 2018! Our names are Abby Nicholson and Lex Keegan Jiganti and we are very excited to be chairing this committee. We are both juniors at Concord Academy and have done Model UN since our freshman year. After much debate over which topic we should discuss, we decided to run a historical crisis committee based on the Easter Rising of 1916. While not a commonly known historical event, the Easter Rising of 1916 was a significant turning point in the relations between Ireland and Great Britain. With recent issues such as Brexit and the Scottish Referendum, it is more crucial than ever to examine the effects of British imperialism and we hope that this committee will offer a lens with which to do so. The committee will start on September 5th, 1914, as this was when the Irish Republican Brotherhood first met to discuss planning an uprising before the war ended. While the outcome of the Rising is detailed in this background guide, we are intentionally beginning debate two years prior in order to encourage more creative and effective plans and solutions than what the rebels actually accomplished. This is a crisis committee, meaning that delegates will be working to pass directives and working with spontaneous events as they unfold as opposed to simply writing resolutions. We hope this background guide provides an adequate summary of the event, but we encourage further research on both the topic and each delegate’s assigned person.

  • Richard Mulcahy Moved to His Last Home, at 1 Temple Villas, Palmerston Road, Where, Aged 85, He Died of Cancer on 16 December 1971
    Mulcahy, Richard by Ronan Fanning Mulcahy, Richard (1886–1971), revolutionary and politician, was born 10 May 1886 at 70 Manor St., Waterford, eldest son and second eldest among eight children of Patrick Mulcahy, post office clerk (d. 1923), and Elizabeth Mulcahy (née Slattery), both of Waterford. He was educated by the Christian Brothers, first at Mount Sion (the first school established by their founder, Edmund Ignatius Rice (qv)), and then in Thurles, where his father was transferred in 1898. Although his five sisters, four of whom became nuns, graduated from the RUI, the family's financial difficulties forced Richard to turn down a scholarship to Rockwell College; he left school at 16 to join the post office, at first as an unpaid learner with his father in Thurles before being transferred to Tralee, Co. Kerry, to Bantry, Co. Cork (where he spent time in Ballingeary in the heart of the west Cork Gaeltacht), and to Wexford. Nationalist apprenticeship Mulcahy had already joined the Gaelic League in Thurles, where he also discovered the United Irishman, the newspaper founded by Arthur Griffith (qv). As with so many nascent revolutionary nationalists, Griffith was his guru for, as Mulcahy later wrote, ‘it was Griffith who most fully painted in his weekly writings for us the traditions and the resources of Ireland, portrayed its mission and gave us for practical purposes our dream, our sense of work’ (Valiulis, 4). Convinced that self-education was the path to advancement, he won promotion to the engineering branch of the post office by private study, and he was already a fluent Irish-speaker when he was transferred to Dublin in 1907.
