    Irish Cultural Revival | Sample Answer ‘How Did Cultural and Religious Identities Develop In

    Irish Cultural Revival | Sample answer ‘How did cultural and religious identities develop in Ireland 1870-1914’ (2019) Gaelic culture was beginning to decline and become more Anglicised. There was a growing spread of Irish people embracing English culture, language and customs, and forgetting their own. There was a cultural revival in the last decades of the 19th century. This saw the growth of cultural nationalism. Organisations such as the GAA and the Gaelic League tried to revive Irish identity and culture through sport and language. The Anglo-Irish literacy revival also tried to accomplish this through literature and plays. The GAA De Valera’s English sports such as soccer, cricket, rugby and athletics were organised with rules and competitions. They were mainly confined to gentlemen, who were Protestant, Unionist and upper-class men as games were played on Saturdays when poor Catholics worked. This led to a decline in traditional Irish games and so Michael Cusack, who was a former member of the IRB, saw the spread of English games as a threat to Irish culture. Thus he wrote an article in an Irish newspaper stating his desire to preserve Irish games, open sports to all social classes and achieve greater control over the running of Irish sports. Maurice Davin who was one of Irelands greatest athletes, supported Cusack and so he, along with Cusack and 11 other men founded the Gaelic Athletic Association or the GAA in the Hayes Hotel in Thurles on the 1st of November 1884. Davin became the first President while Cusack was elected the secretary.

    Section 15 Fingleton White EIS for Proposed Aviation Fuel Pipeline 15 ARCHAEOLOGY, ARCHITECTURE & CULTURAL HERITAGE 15.1 Introduction This section has been prepared to outline the existing environment and assess and define the impact, if any, on the archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage resource of the proposed development. The report includes mitigation measures designed to avoid, reduce or offset any potential adverse impacts. 15.2 Study Area There is no professional standard for defining the extent of a study area when assessing potential impacts on the archaeological, architectural or cultural heritage resource. An archaeological study area of 750 m has been imposed around the proposed pipeline corridor to assess the presence of statutorily protected archaeological remains (Figure 15.2 of Appendix 15.1 of Volume 3 of the EIS). This involved mapping all recorded monuments within 750 m of the proposed pipeline corridor and assessing their potential to be impacted on as a result of the proposed development. In addition, a study area of 50 m has been imposed around the proposed pipeline corridor to record the presence of Protected Structures or any additional statutorily protected archaeological, architectural or cultural heritage features recorded in the Dublin City and Fingal Development Plans and the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. A study area of 50 m has also been imposed around any features recorded on the Dublin City Industrial Heritage Record. The proposed pipeline corridor is defined as follows: Road, footpaths and verges where the pipeline is located in public roadway An 8 m wide strip where the route passes through green areas and private amenity areas.

    A Little Bit of Bighistory When Michael Cusack Moved to Dublin, in 1877, to Open His Academy Preparing Irish Students for the C

    A Little Bit of Big History When Michael Cusack moved to Dublin, in 1877, to open his academy preparing Irish students for the Civil Service examinations, sport throughout Ireland was only played by those with the time and money to do so. For everyone else, life consisted of working, sleeping and working some more. (that’s when they weren’t sick or too poor or emigrating to escape sickness and poverty). Within Cusack’s academy sport was very important. Students were encouraged to try rugby, cricket, rowing and weight-throwing. These were all fine pastimes but in the early 1880’s Cusack turned his attentions to the native Irish sports. In 1882 he attended the first meeting of the Dublin Hurling Club, formed ‘for the purpose of taking steps to re-establish the national game of hurling’. The weekly games of hurling, in the Phoenix Park, became so popular that, in 1883, Cusack had enough players to found ‘Cusack’s Academy Hurling Club’ which, in turn, led to the establishment of the Metropolitan Hurling Club. On Easter Monday 1884 the Metropolitans played Killimor, in Galway. There were no yellow cards in those days and some of the play got a bit heated! This was no surprise as the two teams were playing to different rules. Imagine a team of American footballers playing a team of rugby players in a game of basketball! Helmets had yet to be invented so you can only imagine the “misunderstandings” that happened! It was this clash of styles that convinced Cusack that not only did the rules of the games need to be written down but that an organisation was needed to enforce these rules.
