University of Connecticut 2007 Approved by: Dr. Mary Bur ke Dr. Brendan Kane Dr. Thomas S hea ABSTRACT Irish novelist Edna O’Brien suffered a tumultuous early reception ; her first six novels were banned in Ireland, and critics complained that her writing was sensational and gratuitous. Yet by the time Ireland’s economic boom arrived on the island, many contemporary critics suddenly applaud the novelist’s writing. Is th is significant change in critical reception based on O’Brien’s development as an author? Or was O’Brien writing stories that were ahead of her time and only now accepted by contemporary critics? My paper considers the writing and critical reception of Ed na O’Brien by placing her life and career alongside three waves of Irish feminism.

  • Prisoners, the Agreement, and the Political Character of the Northern Ireland Conflict
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 22, Issue 4 1998 Article 19 Prisoners, the Agreement, and the Political Character of the Northern Ireland Conflict Kieran McEvoy∗ ∗ Copyright c 1998 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Prisoners, the Agreement, and the Political Character of the Northern Ireland Conflict Kieran McEvoy Abstract This Essay first explores the historical context of prisoner release in Ireland, North and South. Second, the role of prisoners in the process of conflict resolution in the 1990s is examined in the periods before and after the breakdown of the first IRA cease- fire. The provisions within the Good Friday Agreement and subsequent legislation are then analyzed in so far as they relate to prisoner release as an incentive for peace among organizations outside the peace process, decommissioning, the victims of violence, and prisoner reintegration. Finally, this Essay argues that the “prisoner issue” represents a crucial acknowledgement by the British government of the political character of the conflict and suggests that such a view will be required by all the protagonists if the Agreement is to survive. PRISONERS, THE AGREEMENT, AND THE POLITICAL CHARACTER OF THE NORTHERN IRELAND CONFLICT Kieran McEvoy* INTRODUCTION The inclusion of provisions relating to the early release of paramilitary prisoners in the Good Friday Agreement' (or "Agreement") was one of the most controversial aspects of the Accord. In effect, practically all politically-motivated prisoners belonging to organizations on cease-fire will be released within two years of the scheme's commencement, by June 2000.

Students will be asked to draw upon a selection of primary and secondary sources directly related to the war in Northern Ireland in order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of what is euphemistically known as “The Troubles”. We will examine the role, responsibility and culpability of the British state and its involvement in the conflict both past and present. We will also evaluate the ideological foundations of movements pertaining to the Protestant / Unionist / Loyalist (PUL) and Catholic /Nationalist / Republican (CNR) communities respectively. Issues such as the emergence of the civil rights movement, the rise of paramilitary groups and the role of political prisoners and ex-combatants will also be examined. Students will assess the impact of the peace process with a focus on contributions made to peace in the North of Ireland by a variety of groups, individuals, communities, politicians and world leaders. This will include an examination of the intent and impact associated with a sixteen year long collaboration between Saint Mary’s University and Peaceful Schools International throughout Northern Ireland. Grading System: final letter grades assigned as per grading scheme found in the Saint Mary’s University Academic Calendar 2020-2021 There will be weekly media watch assignments, five précis, as well as a final paper and final presentation.

  • Dean Acheson's Press Club Speech Reexamined
    The British Army and the Peace Process in Ireland by Colin McInnes and Caroline Kennedy-Pipe INTRODUCTION Understanding the dynamics of peace processes in intra-state conflicts such as Northern Ireland is one of the major challenges facing contemporary security studies.1 This is perhaps understandable given the widespread view that violent conflicts are now more likely to occur than in previous decades, and that they are likely to be fought within states rather than between them.2 This article looks at a particular problem within the study of peace processes - that of the role of the military - by focusing on the British Army's role in the Northern Ireland peace process. The article argues that the Army was central to the beginning of the peace process through denying the Irish Republican Army (IRA) a military victory, despite a paramilitary campaign which had lasted well over two decades.3 The IRA in 1999 seemed on the verge of accepting both the Good Friday Agreement and the turn by Sinn Féin to constitutional politics. However, despite what appears to be the endgame of violence in the province, the British Army remains a significant factor in the politics of Northern Ireland for a variety of reasons. The first is that until the issue of the decommissioning of paramilitary arms has been satisfactorily resolved, the Army will continue to play an important security role. The continued presence of the Army acts as a reassurance to Unionists against large-scale violence by Republican paramilitaries, such as the IRA or breakaway groups. For some, if not all, Nationalists an Army presence also provides confidence against a resurgence of Loyalist paramilitary violence.4 The question is, however, what form that military presence should take during this peace process.

  • The Unauthorized History of the American Conference for Irish Studies
    THE UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE FOR IRISH STUDIES [PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS OMNIA HIBERNICA: HOW THE ACIS BROUGHT IRISH STUDIES TO THE ACADEMY] JAMES MacKILLOP ACIS PRESIDENT, 1995-97 1 The Unauthorized History of the American Conference for Irish Studies, Or, of the ACIS Brought Irish Studies to the Academy Table of Contents Introduction Acknowledgements Chapter 1 Origins, Definitions, Beginning Chapter 2 Annual Conference & Related Organizations Chapter 3 The Curriculum: Irish Studies as a Day Job Chapter 4 Publications: How the ACIS Helped Irish Studies Get Into Print Chapter 5 Topics We Talked About and How They Changed Appendix 1 Presidents Appendix 2 National Conferences Appendix 3 Notable Books By ACIS Members Appendix 4 Works Cited and Consulted 2 INTRODUCTION Despite my having accepted the commission to assemble this account, it is primarily a labor of love. The ACIS has been my guild, my fraternity for forty-four years, since I first heard the late Bernie Benstock talk about Finnegans Wake in Cortland, May 1, 1968. Attending the annual meeting has been a priority ever since, although I did not make every one. The annual conference has been an on-going, moveably intellectual feast, influencing and shaping my understanding of important issues and persons, from Newgrange to Neil Jordan. I was present when many events described here took place, and in a few I was a player. In a preliminary draft I felt as though I was writing a memoir, except that I had not been everywhere. Retained from that discarded approach are the informal tone and the lack of specific documentation.

The increasing success of constitutional nationalists put a severe strain on the activities of republican groups in America. Noraid lead.ers today accept that the st. Patrick's Day statement by the Four Horsemen was a set-back to their efforts to win Irish-American support. The Irish National Caucus was similarly alarmed by the carter statement. It showed that constitutional nationalists had the power to influence the President.
