Charles Trevelyan, John Mitchel and the historiography of the Great Famine Christophe GILLISSEN Université de Caen – Basse Normandie The Great Irish Famine produced a staggering amount of paperwork: innumerable letters, reports, articles, tables of statistics and books were written to cover the catastrophe. Yet two distinct voices emerge from the hubbub: those of Charles Trevelyan, a British civil servant who supervised relief operations during the Famine, and John Mitchel, an Irish nationalist who blamed London for the many Famine-related deaths.1 They may be considered as representative to some extent, albeit in an extreme form, of two dominant trends within its historiography as far as London’s role during the Famine is concerned.

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.

182 Chapter 12 Hibernia: Voices of Dissent, 1968–80 Brian Trench for at Least the Last Decade of Its Existence, Spanning the 1
Chapter 12 Hibernia: voices of dissent, 1968–80 Brian Trench For at least the last decade of its existence, spanning the 1970s, Hibernia had a strong presence in Irish media as an independent, frequently dissenting voice. It provided a platform for a wider range of opinion than was represented in daily and weekly newspapers and in broadcasting. It was a springboard for young graduates into significant careers in journalism. It is often fondly remembered in anecdote but it has not been the subject of extended analysis or even of a personal memoir that offers a broader appraisal or account of its place in Irish media and society.1 In his history of Irish media, John Horgan offers a packed paragraph that recounts: [John] Mulcahy … turned it into a lively, irreverent and often well-informed magazine which specialised in an eclectic but highly marketable mix of political gossip and features, book reviews, and authoritative business and financial journalism. Its tone was crusading and investigative: by 1973 it was already carrying articles alleging conflicts of interest and possible corruption in relation to the activities of local politicians in the Greater Dublin area – an issue which resurfaced with dramatic effect, at the end of the 1990s.2 There are passing references in other works of history and reference, such as MacRedmond’s Modern Irish Lives, which refers to its ‘searching liberal critique of Irish society’ and Morash’s history of media, which describes Hibernia as ‘robustly critical … [and] … in some respects [setting] the agenda for the magazines that would follow it in the 1980s’.3 Journalists’ books covering the 1960s and 1970s, including those by Tim Pat Coogan, T.

Irish National Newspapers and Portugal's Colonial Wars, 1961-1974
Estudios Irlandeses, Number 11, 2016, pp. 108-117 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI “The Familiar Style of Decaying Colonial Powers”:1 Irish National Newspapers and Portugal’s Colonial Wars, 1961-1974 Jean NF Mercereau Polytechnic Institute of Leiria and University of Minho, Portugal Copyright (c) 2016 by Jean NF Mercereau. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. The early stages of Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in Portugal, between the 1933 constitution and the end of World War II, raised a lot of attention in Ireland as well as in other countries. Salazar’s solutions to Portugal’s economic and financial crisis were then widely considered as potential solution to many of Ireland’s problems. Progressively, however, Ireland lost interest in the Portuguese situation and paid little attention to the evolution of Salazar’s dictatorship until the late 1950s in such a way that when colonial wars broke out in Portuguese African territories in the early 1960s, de Valera’s Ireland and Salazar’s Portugal had been drifting apart for over a decade. More importantly, Portugal’s determination to cling to its colonies, causing the country’s isolation on the international scene, went against what the Irish Nation essentially stood for. The objective of this article is to consider the coverage by Ireland’s three main newspapers – Irish Independent, Irish Press and Irish Times – of Portugal’s colonialist policies between 1961 and the fall of the dictatorship in April 1974.

The Irish potato famine played a significant role in the migration patterns from Ireland to the United States, however, much of the research has solely focused on the men in these migration patterns. The women involved in these migration patterns, long neglected and overlooked by historians, were equally important to the history of the famine and subsequent migration patterns from Ireland to the United States. The men, women, and children impacted by the Irish potato famine experienced excruciating heartache and loss, as well as extreme conditions and deprivation. Yet, through it all, those who were able to migrate to the United States contributed to the growth of the Irish population and protected Irish culture.
