  • Office of Public Works Annual Report 2011
    Office of Public Works Annual Report 2011 1 Foreword by Minister I am pleased to present the 2011 Annual Report of the Office of Public Works (OPW). It was great privilege to have been asked by the Taoiseach to become Minister of State with responsibility for the OPW. I want to recognise the work of my predecessor, Dr. Martin Mansergh, who was OPW Minister from May 2008 to March 2011. 2011 was a particularly eventful year which saw the historic visits of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and HRH, The Duke of Edinburgh to Ireland and the official visit from US President, President Barack Obama. OPW managed properties were to the fore during these visits with the Royal party staying in Farmleigh in the course of their visit and the same location provided the backdrop for President Obama’s meeting with the Taoiseach and the Government. The Queen visited Áras an Uachtaráin, the Garden of Remembrance, the Irish War Memorial Gardens, the Rock of Cashel and spoke eloquently at the State banquet hosted by the President Mary McAleese in Dublin Castle. OPW Heritage Services and Event Management staff performed with distinction in contributing to what was a memorable series of visits and were commended by the Government for the important role that they played. Visitor numbers to OPW guided sites grew by in excess of 5% to almost 3.5 million over the course of the year. The “Free-First-Wednesday” initiative is proving to be a considerable success and we will continue to introduce new initiatives to present our built heritage portfolio at its best.

Charles Trevelyan, John Mitchel and the historiography of the Great Famine Christophe GILLISSEN Université de Caen – Basse Normandie The Great Irish Famine produced a staggering amount of paperwork: innumerable letters, reports, articles, tables of statistics and books were written to cover the catastrophe. Yet two distinct voices emerge from the hubbub: those of Charles Trevelyan, a British civil servant who supervised relief operations during the Famine, and John Mitchel, an Irish nationalist who blamed London for the many Famine-related deaths.1 They may be considered as representative to some extent, albeit in an extreme form, of two dominant trends within its historiography as far as London’s role during the Famine is concerned.

I am happy to say that OPW performed with distinction throughout this period and particular credit must go to our Facilities Management staff for rising to the challenges. The decentralisation process announced by Minister Charlie McCreevy in 2003 is well underway with the selection of sites ongoing. Agreement was reached on the purchase of many properties throughout 2004 and Property Management Services continue to make substantial progress in delivering this programme within the agreed timeframe.

Irish responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh Department of History School of Humanities National University of Ireland, Galway December 2012 ABSTRACT This project assesses the impact of the first fascist power, its ethos and propaganda, on key constituencies of opinion in the Irish Free State. Accordingly, it explores the attitudes, views and concerns expressed by members of religious organisations; prominent journalists and academics; government officials/supporters and other members of the political class in Ireland, including republican and labour activists. By contextualising the Irish response to Fascist Italy within the wider patterns of cultural, political and ecclesiastical life in the Free State, the project provides original insights into the configuration of ideology and social forces in post-independence Ireland. Structurally, the thesis begins with a two-chapter account of conflicting confessional responses to Italian Fascism, followed by an analysis of diplomatic intercourse between Ireland and Italy. Next, the thesis examines some controversial policies pursued by Cumann na nGaedheal, and assesses their links to similar Fascist initiatives. The penultimate chapter focuses upon the remarkably ambiguous attitude to Mussolini’s Italy demonstrated by early Fianna Fáil, whilst the final section recounts the intensely hostile response of the Irish labour movement, both to the Italian regime, and indeed to Mussolini’s Irish apologists.
