  • The Role of Handball in 1916 Paul Fitzpatrick It Was a Humdrum Easter
    The Role of Handball in 1916 Paul Fitzpatrick It was a humdrum Easter Monday afternoo n and, in a handball alley at Marino in the shadow of Croke Park, a young Christian Brother, William Allen, was at play. From nowhere, it has been recorded, the order’s Superior General, Brother Willis, arrived wearing an anxious expression. There was trouble in O’Connell St, he told the handballers – get out of town. So began the Easter Rising. In the decades to come, ‘WP’ Allen would document it; in time, over the decades, his personal library stretched to over 30,000 items and would become one of the greatest primary sources at the State’s disposal. But on that day, he was just another average Joe, a teacher in a school which had produced five of the insurgents, scuttling for cover back to base. What was the state of play for handball in 1916? At the time, it was organised on an ad hoc basis. There were more players (hundreds of thousands played recreationally) but far less championships. In fact, the first hardball and softball championships wouldn’t begin until 1925. Handball had been a professional pursuit for the best players, who issued grand challenges to their rivals in the press at the time, but for the most part, competitively, it was played for silver cups and gold medals, maybe a suit of clothes, in pre-arranged one-off fixtures, much in the manner of prize fights. In August of 1916, for example, a “challenge contest” was advertised for St Colman’s College in Fermoy for the “Junior Championship of Munster”.

Waterford Aideen Barry Mark Clare Amanda Coogan Anthony Haughey Dragana Jurisic Sarah Pierce Curated by Dr Emily Mark-FitzGerald School of Art History and Cultural Policy, University College Dublin Edward Said drew a classic distinction between ‘beginnings’ and ‘origins’, arguing that the former arose from human action through the ‘intentional production of meaning’; while the latter required a myth claiming filiation with the divine.1 Traversing the two, and making visible the conceits of commemoration that have shaped the legacy of 1916, are the central concerns of The Museum of August Destiny. The Museum manufactures a temporary site of memory where the social and political aspirations laid out in the 1916 Proclamation are recalled and re-evaluated. The Proclamation occupies an imposing and iconic place in the national imagination – both as material document of history, and as a visionary (and militant) declaration of Irish sovereignty. It is also a document that embodies a series of paradoxes. It was unauthored—signed collectively by teachers, writers, poets, a musician, a trade unionist—but with no single individual named as creator. It was a cheaply printed physical document with makeshift typographic solutions, which now commands stratospheric prices at auction. It is a call to power, invested with an imagined national destiny, yet it was a manifesto that anticipated an immediate consequence of creation wrought through destruction. 1 Edward Said, Beginnings: Intention and Method (New York: Basic Books, 1975).

Focused primarily on a set of strategic locations in the heart of Dublin, it was directed by the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and carried out by a militant force of no more than 1,600 men and women. The Rising began when rebels seized several buildings in Dublin city-centre, including the General Post Office (GPO), from where Patrick Pearse later that day proclaimed the establishment of the Irish Republic.

    Biography Patrick Pearse Patrick Pearse was a central figure in recent Irish History. Patrick Pearse was one of the leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916. Pearse was born in 1879; his father, James, was a stone worker who worked on church buildings in Dublin and his mother, Margaret, came from a family that had endured the Great Famine in 1846 and had left County Meath for Dublin. Here she brought up four children – Patrick was the second. Patrick Pearse had a comfortable childhood as his father was in constant work. It was at school that Patrick Pearse first developed a love of Irish history. He was also taught the Irish language for the first time and while still a teenager, Patrick joined the Gaelic League which was an organisation that wanted to promote the Irish language and Irish literature. Patrick Pearse graduated with a law degree from the King’s Inns and in 1901, he started a BA course in modern languages – at the same time as he was called to the Bar in Dublin. Regardless of his law training, Patrick Pearse was more interested in what he was learning about Ireland as a nation. All his knowledge about law had been based around the English language and Patrick Pearse wanted to know more about what he considered to be the rightful language of Ireland. This was not the Gaelic used in Dublin. Pearse had convinced himself that the real Irish language was based in Connaught and he taught himself the dialect of the area. Connaught was also a region that had been severely affected by the Great Famine.
