    13 28 [COLLINS & GRIFFITH] A rare poster of Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins, Sean MacEoin (The Blacksmith of Ballinalee), Richard Mulcahy and President De Valera. The medallion portraits within a Celtic decorated border and the landscape portrait of De Valera is against a draped tricolour and sunburst. Framed. 30.5 x 30.5cm. In August 1921, de Valera secured Dáil Éireann approval to change the 1919 Dáil Con- stitution to upgrade his office from prime minister or chairman of the cabinet to a full President of the Republic. Declaring himself now the Irish equivalent of King George V, he argued that as Irish head of state, in the absence of the British head of state from the negotiations, he too should not attend the Treaty Negotiations at which British and Irish government leaders agreed to the effective independence of twenty-six of Ireland’s thirty-two counties as the Irish Free State, with Northern Ireland choosing to remain under British sovereignty. It is generally agreed by historians that whatever his motives, it was a mistake for de Valera not to have travelled to London. Lot 31 A rare and interesting item.

  • William Maume: United Irishman and Informer in Two Hemispheres
    William Maume: United Irishman and Informer in Two Hemispheres MICHAEL DUREY I adical and revolutionary movements in Ireland in the eighteenth and Rnineteenth centuries are reputed to have been riddled with spies and informers. Their persistent influence helped to distract attention from other causes of failure. Weaknesses within movements, such as internecine strife among leaders, poorly-conceiv~d strategies and exaggerated estimates of popular support, could be hidden behind an interpretation of events which placed responsibility for failure on a contingency that was normally beyond rebel control. In some respects, therefore, it was in the interests of Irish leaders, and sympathetic later commentators, to exaggerate the influence of spies and informers. 1 Such conclusions are possible, however, only because commentators, both contemporary and modern, have failed to make a distinction between spies, being persons 'engaged in covert information-gathering activities', and informers, who are persons who happen to possess relevant information that they are persuaded to divulge. 2 Admittedly, this distinction is not always clear-cut, for some who begin as informers subsequently agree to become spies. Moreover, from the point of view of the authorities, all information, however acquired, tends to be grist to their intelligence mill. Nevertheless, keeping this distinction clear can help to elucidate some of the problems facing revolutionary societies as they sought to keep their activities secret. It is unlikely, for example, that the United Irishmen in the 1790s were at greater risk from spies, as opposed to informers, than either the Jacobins or the Royalists in France in the same period. At no time could Dublin Town-Major Henry Sirr, or security chief Edward Cooke in Dublin Castle, call on the same security apparatus as was available to the police in Paris under the See, for example, W.J.

These included a fast growing population, agrarian unrest and outside influences such as the French and American Revolutions. Many anti- Catholic laws had been removed by legislation but political power rested firmly in the hands of the Protestants who still controlled the army, finance and education. The legacy of the penal laws remained and there was considerable unrest at a local level in Ireland. However, it was not until the last decade of the century that a movement to effectively channel popular feeling into a united cause emerged.

  • Geary, Laurence M
    A monument 'where pilgrims may worship and patriotism be renewed' - the sacral nationalism of the Australian '98 centenary JONATHAN M. WOODING On 9 January 1886, in the Nation, Katherine Tynan published a poem entitled 'The Grave of Michael Dwyer'. A sprig of fern inspired a vision of Dwyer's tomb, which in her mind's eye was set against the backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains: I wish you slept where your kin are sleeping - The dove-gray valley is sweet; and the holy mountains their strange watch keeping Would love you lying still at their feet, The dewy grass for your winding sheet. The poem had many admirers, including Yeats. The grave of the 1798 'Wicklow Chief' Dwyer was not, however, in Wicklow, or even Ireland. He had died in New South Wales, far from his native mountains, and by 1886 his life was essentially out- side living memory in Ireland and Australia - though some in Sydney would have remembered his widow Mary; who had died only in j86o.2 His place of burial had not been lost; it lay clearly marked in the 'Sandhills' cemetery in Sydney and in the same year as the appearance ofTPynan's poem pilgrims marched to Dwyer's tomb. This type of ritual of rebel 'decoration' was becoming increasingly common in Ireland and the leader of the pilgrimage made specific comparison of the event i WB. Yeats to K. Tynan, May s888, in J.
