I HAVE been requested to say something by way of introduction to a collection of the writings —small in bulk, but still, to my mind, very big in substance and form—of my old friend Lalor, and I willingly comply with the request. Scarcely any man living, at least out of his own family, with the probable exception of my friend Thomas Clarke Luby, can have known him better, and few, if any, can have a higher opinion of the intellectual and moral merits of the man. I cannot, however, do better for Lalor's memory than by extracting from a book of mine, still unpublished, all that directly bears upon him. I extract, then, without any further comment, but only with the explanation that, from the nature of my book, I could not easily detach from it what I think it necessary to say here of — Vlll INTRODUCTION.

  • 222 1 Remembering the Famine
    NOTES 1 Remembering the Famine 1. Speech by the Minister of State, Avril Doyle TD, Famine Commemoration Programme, 27 June 1995. 2. The text of a message from the British Prime Minister, Mr Tony Blair, delivered by Britain’s Ambassador to the Republic of Ireland, Veronica Sutherland, on Saturday 31 May 1997 at the Great Irish Famine Event, in Cork (British Information Services, 212). 3. Irish News, 4 February 1997. 4. The designation of the event is contested; some nationalists find the use of the word ‘famine’ offensive and inappropriate given the large amounts of food exported from Ireland. For more on the debate, see Kinealy, A Death-Dealing Famine: The Great Hunger in Ireland (Pluto Press, 1997), Chapter 1. 5. The Irish Times, 3 June 1995. 6. The most influential work which laid the ground for much subsequent revisionist writing was R. D. Crotty, Irish Agricultural Production (Cork University Press, 1996). 7. The most polished and widely read exposition of the revisionist interpretation was provided in Roy Foster, Modern Ireland, 1600–1972 (London, 1988). 8. Roy Foster, ‘We are all Revisionists Now’, in Irish Review (Cork, 1986), pp. 1–6. 9. Professor Seamus Metress, The Irish People, 10 January 1996. Similar arguments have also been expressed by Professor Brendan Bradshaw of Cambridge Univer- sity, a consistent – but isolated – opponent of revisionist interpretation.

  • “Up to the Sun and Down to the Centre:” the Utopian Moment in Anticolonial Nationalism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by MURAL - Maynooth University Research Archive Library “Up to the Sun and Down to the Centre:” The Utopian Moment in Anticolonial Nationalism Gerry Kearns Department of Geography Maynooth University ABSTRACT: The ideology and practice of James Fintan Lalor is examined as a geographical imagination in the service of anticolonial nationalism. The utopian and forward-looking aspects of nationalism have not received as much attention as the retrospective emphasis upon the restoration of past glories. Yet in anticolonial nationalism, the question of what an independent state could achieve incites a utopian moment and links nationalism to a more universalist discourse concerning justice. Anticolonial nationalism and young Ireland n Under Three Flags: Anarchism and the Anti-Colonial Imagination, Benedict Anderson explored the ways that anticolonial struggle produces intellectual insights that anticipate a utopian Ifuture.1 In developing their criticisms of the social and economic disabilities required by colonial rule, anticolonial theorists must imagine ways that social, economic and political life might be better ordered. One implication of Anderson’s analysis, according to Amrith and Sluga, is that the United Nations “would have been unthinkable without the intellectual labor of Asian radical nationalists, who appropriated elements of European thought but transcended the racial exclusions inherent within them.”2 Not all anticolonial thought is this creative, and on occasion it amounts to little more than a passionate wish to expel the colonial power. Furthermore, the anticolonial imagination is also fed by the utopianism that animates other political struggles such as those around class, political representation, and freedom of expression.

This latest development in the Finucane murder case raises hopes that the truth surrounding the solicitor's death, including the exact level of collaboration between loyalist paramilitaries and British security forces, will eventually be revealed. It is understood that the evidence sent to the DPP, revealed in the Independent newspaper, confirms allegations made by two loyalists informers that RUC intelligence officers ignored a series of tip-offs indicating that Pat Finucane was to be the target of a loyalist death squad. According to one source, self- confessed police informer and Ulster Defence Association (UDA) quartermaster William Stobie, police officers were in a position to prevent Finucane's murder. Stobie claims to have warned his handlers that a prominent republican, which they clearly understood to be Finucane, was about to be assassinated — including making two phone calls on the night of the murder. The demand for Justice for those killed on Bloody Sunday, 30 January 1972, remains as loud as ever. This year's march In London, on 22 January, heard Stobie, one of two men already relatives of the victims call for the new Saville Inquiry, which opens Its public hearings in March, to be monitored closely to avoid another whitewash.

  • Ireland Her Own’: Radical Movements in Nineteenth-Century Ireland
    59 ‘Ireland Her Own’: Radical Movements in Nineteenth-Century Ireland PRISCILLA METSCHER When examining the development of republicanism in nineteenth-century Ireland, we must be aware not only of the elements of continuity in the radical movements of the period, but also of their differences, resulting from specific circumstances and conditions. The first half of the nineteenth century in Ireland was dominated by two socio-economic factors. On the one hand, excessive subdivision of the land among the rural peasantry was accompanied by a tremendous population increase; on the other hand, a general decline in Irish industry in the first decades of the century ensured that the surplus population could not be absorbed into the economic life of the towns. The Act of Union was not the only cause for the decline in industries, but it was a major contributor as free trade between Britain and Ireland was established which meant that Irish manufacturers were no longer in a position to protect the home market from British competition. The huge national debt incurred by the Union also meant that much needed capital for Irish industry was taken out of the country.1 It was hardly surprising that a mass popular movement should arise, under the leadership of Daniel O’Connell, with the aim of repealing the Act of Union. O’Connell, despite his radical use of language, was not a radical. He was a landlord who had great respect for the protection of private property and denounced agrarian secret societies for their use of violence. His policy is summed up in a letter he wrote early in 1833: ‘I would not join in any violation of the law … I desire no social revolution, no social change … In short, salutary restoration without revolution, an Irish Parliament, British connection, one King, two legislatures’.2 Nevertheless, a group of young men were attracted to the Repeal Association who, although staunchly loyal to O’Connell, were prepared to go a step further.

This edition is a reprint of that issue. 946 INTROD HE present publication is one of a series of pamphlets The Socialist Party of lreland proposes to issue on the political and social position Tof the Irish people. They will aim at familiarising the reading and thinking public with that interpretation of the recorded facts of our national history which at once explains and justifies the uprise of a Republican and Socialist Party in Irish political life. Hitherto Irish history has been written almost exclusively from a middle-class standpoint with results that can only be fully appreciated by those whose historical studies have rested upon a thorough scientific basis, and who are therefore competent to place in their proper relation to each other, the heterogeneous mass of facts Jand fic- tions) which pass muster as history. The materialist conception of history -the truth that a rational explanation of the course taken by human society must be sought in the influence which their material environment has had upon the minds of the men and women with whom history has to deal-furnishes this scientific basis. Applying it to the present, we find that the government of every civilised country is simply a committee of the rich who conduct the affairs of state in the interests of the upper class, aud that, in like manner, every political party is the party of a class and seeks to acquire power in the interest of the class who officer its organisa- tion and furnish its finances.

  • INTRODUCTION Fenianism Is Not by Any Means a Plant Likely to Take Root
    INTRODUCTION Fenianism is not by any means a plant likely to take root, much less to flourish in Australian soil... Melbourne Age, 14 August 1868 Among the poorer and most ignorant of Irish Romas Catholics in Victoria a feeling of sympathy with the Fenian movement is widespread... Police Superintendent C.H. Nicholson, 9 March 18681 For almost two hundred years British imperial hegemony has been steadily disintegrating in Australia. In the same period a sense of Australian national identity has been emerging: shaped by the land itself, its great distance from the British Isles, and by conflicting cultural pressures in matters racial, religious, socio-economic and political, arising from a mixed population. Prior to the heavy European and Asian immigration after World War II, the three principal cultures in Australia after 1788 were Aboriginal, 2 British and Irish-Catholic; and to this day the Irish are second only to the English component of 140 ethnic groups living in Australia. In the years focussed upon in this study, Irish Catholics comprised at least a quarter of the population of nearly all Australian colonies. Given the circumstances of British rule in Ireland, it was virtually inevitable that this high proportion of Irish convicts and free settlers in Australia would provide a key influence in the emergence of a distinctive Australian ethos, in much the same way that they influenced American nationalism in the United States. But was Irish national sentiment as strong in (1) Report, Fenianism 1868-9, CSO Supplementary Police Box 10, VPRO. (2) Throughout this thesis I arbitarily use British to mean of predominA:tly English, Scottish, Welsh or Ulster-Protestant descent, and Irish to mean, if not otherwise qualified, those who readily identified with Gaelic traditions and considered themselves to be Irish nationalists.

  • 'The Sovereign People' by PH Pearse
    The Sovereign People By P.H. Pearse ‘The Sovereign People’ By P.H. Pearse PREFACE This pamphlet concludes the examination of the Irish definition of freedom which I promised in Ghosts. For my part, I have no more to say. P. H. PEARSE ST. ENDA’S COLLEGE, RATHFARNHAM, 31st March, 1916 National independence involves national sovereignty. National sovereignty is twofold in its nature. It is both internal and external. It implies the sovereignty of the nation over all its parts, over all men and things within the nation; and it implies the sovereignty of the nation as against all other nations. Nationality is a spiritual fact; but nationhood includes physical freedom, and physical power in order to the maintenance of physical freedom, as well as the spiritual fact of nationality. This physical freedom is necessary to the healthy life, and may even be necessary to the continued existence of the nation. Without it the nation droops, withers, ultimately perhaps dies; only a very steadfast nation, a nation of great spiritual and intellectual strength like Ireland, can live for more than a few generations in its absence, and without it even so stubborn a nation as Ireland would doubtless ultimately perish. Physical freedom, in brief, is necessary to sane and vigorous life; for physical freedom means precisely control of the conditions that are necessary to sane and vigorous life. It is obvious that these things are partly material, and that therefore national freedom involves control of the material things which are essential to the continued physical life and freedom of the nation.
