  • Northern Ireland a Place Apart Or a Variation on a Theme?
    Northern Ireland a place apart or a variation on a theme? Jonathan Bardon November 1999 www.irish‐association.org @IrishAssoc Info@irish‐association.org @irishassoc Ulster has always been somewhat apart from the rest of Ireland. The largest drumlin belt in Europe, around thirty miles wide, in earlier times was a formidable frontier: Estyn Evans likened these huge mounds of boulder clay to 'a necklace of beads some thirty miles wide suspended between Donegal Bay and Strangford Lough.' Densely overgrown with wolf-infested thickets and separated by soft-margined loughs and treacherous fens, these low, rounded hills ensured that until the early seventeenth century easy access to the north from the south was only by the fords of Erne in the west and the Moyry Pass - that is the defile in the hills close to Slieve Gullion - in the east. The barrier was never completely impenetrable and there is little doubt that in early Christian Ireland there was a marked cultural unity, at least at an upper class level. It is worth pointing out, however, that when the island was moving towards political unity in the eleventh century - that is from the reign of Brian Boru onwards - the High Kings ruled co fresabra, that is 'with opposition' and that opposition generally came from Ulster. Until the seventeenth century Ulster remained the most Gaelic of the four provinces. Defeated on more than one occasion on their own element, the sea, the Vikings had only a couple of toe holds in the north and concentrated their town building enterprise in Leinster and Munster.

  • The Jury System in Contemporary Ireland: in the Shadow of a Troubled Past
    JACKSON.FMT3.DOC 08/02/99 4:10 PM THE JURY SYSTEM IN CONTEMPORARY IRELAND: IN THE SHADOW OF A TROUBLED PAST JOHN D. JACKSON,* KATIE QUINN,** AND TOM O’MALLEY*** I INTRODUCTION One of the aims of this symposium is to demonstrate how the jury system has managed to adapt and survive in a range of very different legal and political environments. In one respect, the survival of the jury in a country that has long been riddled with political upheaval, violence, and division may be viewed as a powerful symbol of the triumph of an institution that has endured throughout the years as a living testament to the adaptability of the common law tradition with which the jury system is often associated. Not only did the jury survive the political troubles in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland, but it also has survived the constitutional changes of the twentieth century that brought about the partition of the island into two separate legal jurisdictions, the Republic of Ireland, an independent state comprising twenty-six out of the thirty-two coun- ties on the island, and Northern Ireland, remaining part of the United Kingdom and comprising the other six counties.1 Although jury trial was imposed under the English common law in Ireland, this mode of trial was enshrined for crimi- nal cases in the Irish Constitution of 1937 and remains an important constitu- tional right. North of the border, jury trial has survived thirty years of recent troubles, and, although it has been suspended for cases connected with the troubles, all the protagonists in the present “peace process” expect it to be re- stored once the troubles have abated.

  • Irish Nationalism and Identity in the First World War
    Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ University of North Carolina at Asheville “Who is Ireland’s Enemy?” Irish Nationalism and Identity in the First World War A Senior Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History in Candidacy for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History Submitted by: Garrett M Griffin April 12, 2018 Abstract The Irish Revolutionary Period (1911-1927) includes the period of the First World War, one of, if not the most monumental event of the twentieth century. One of the major catalysts of the period, the Easter Rising, occurred in 1916, in the midst of war. Despite this, study of this time period often overlooks the First World War and the influence it had on Irish nationalism of the time period. The Irish republican movement entered the war led by the Irish Parliamentary Party, and advocating for Home Rule. By the end of the war, dissatisfaction with the status quo and the current position of the Irish republican movement and culminated in the landslide victory for the radical Sinn Fein party in the 1918 elections. A combination of the discrimination Irish soldiers on the front received, British cruelty in dealing with the aftermath of the Easter Rising and the failure of the Irish Parliamentary Party to effectively deal with the political crises of the Easter Rising and the Conscription Crisis were the primary causes of this shift. 1 “Who is Ireland’s enemy?... Not Germany nor Austria, Not Russia, France nor Spain That robbed and reaved this land of ours, And forged her heavy chains; But England of the wily words – A crafty, treacherous foe – 'Twas England scourged our Motherland, 'Twas England laid her low!”1 On Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, around 400 armed members of the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army waited patiently outside the General Post Office on O’Connell Street near the center of Dublin.
