    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • The Banshee's Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and The
    The Banshee’s Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and the All for Ireland League. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Patrick Joseph Murphy. August 2019 1 The Banshee’s Kiss: Conciliation, Class and Conflict in Cork and the All for Ireland League. ABSTRACT Historians have frequently portrayed constitutional nationalism as being homogeneous - ‘the Home Rule movement’- after the reunification of the Irish parliamentary party in 1900. Yet there were elements of nationalist heterodoxy all over the country, but it was only in Cork where dissent took an organised form in the only formal breakaway from the Irish party when the All for Ireland League (A.F.I.L.) was launched in 1910. The AFIL took eight of the nine parliamentary seats in Cork and gained control of local government in the city and county the following year. Existing historical accounts do not adequately explain why support for the Home Rule movement collapsed in Cork, but also why the AFIL flourished there but failed, despite the aspiration of its name, to expand beyond its regional base. The AFIL is chiefly remembered for its visionary policy of conciliation with unionists following the Damascene conversion of its leader William O’Brien, transformed from the enemy of the landed classes to an apostle of a new kind of bi- confessional politics. This would, he claimed, end the ‘Banshee’s Kiss’, a cycle of conflict in which each new generation attempts to achieve Irish freedom. However, conciliation was a policy which was unpopular with both nationalists and unionists and O’Brien therefore needed to develop an electoral base by other means with more popular policies.

Bulmer Hobson's formative influence in numerous political and cultural organisations begs the question as to why, until now, his autobiographical Ireland: yesterday and tomorrow (1968) remained the only consequential account of his career. Dr Hay expresses little surprise, however, at this historiographical gap. In fact, Hobson's position as 'worsted in the political game' (p. 1) serves as this book's premise.

The specification content for this topic is: The partitioning of Ireland Reactions to the Government of Ireland Act in the north and south of Ireland For each activity, there is a ‘teacher guidance’ section as well as ‘instructions for students’. Some brief background information for each activity is also provided. Each activity provides opportunities to develop the statutory skills requirements of the Northern Ireland Curriculum at Key Stage 4 as well as the skills students will be expected to demonstrate in the examination for this option: demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the key features and characteristics of the period studied (AO1); explain and analyse historical events and periods studied using second-order historical concepts including continuity, change, cause, consequence, significance, similarity and difference (AO2); and analyse, evaluate and use sources (contemporary to the period) to make substantiated judgements, in the context of historical events studied (AO3). Background to the topic Students should develop an understanding of the main provisions of the Government of Ireland Act, 1920 and how it divided Ireland geographically and politically. The Act essentially introduced two Home Rule Parliaments – one in Belfast and one in Dublin.

    KEY STAGE 3: FROM ULSTER TO NORTHERN IRELAND, 1600–1925 UNIT 4: JANUARY 1919–JUNE 1921 UNIT 4: UNIT DESCRIPTION The activities in this unit aim to help pupils learn about and evaluate the 1919–1921 importance of this crucial historical period in bringing about the partition of Ulster and Ireland and the creation of Northern Ireland: • The Government of Ireland Act 1920 • The Creation of Northern Ireland The unit introduces pupils to how the Government of Ireland Act of 1920 led to the creation of the new state of Northern Ireland in June 1921. Faced with the need to proceed with some form of Home Rule for Ireland, against the backdrop of the 1918 general election result and the War of Independence, the Cabinet committee set up in October 1919 by Prime Minister David Lloyd George suggested something new. There were to be two parliaments: one in Belfast for the nine counties of Ulster, and the other in Dublin for the rest of the country. The plan was that they would be linked by a Council of Ireland to facilitate eventual reunification. Any form of Home Rule was rejected by Sinn Féin. Pupils will discuss and evaluate the implications of how unionist influence reduced the northern state to six counties in the Government of Ireland Act of December 1920, and why this upset Ulster nationalists. Finally, they will assess the significance of the election of May 1921 and the establishment of the parliament opened by King George V on 22 June.

It explores the effects of partition on the notions of space and identity in Ireland, as well as how it affected the notion of a state under siege. Drawing on the largely untapped material in the British Postal Museum Archives, cabinet papers, parliamentary debates and local and national newspapers, it aims to contribute to current historiography of Northern Ireland and Ulster unionism in the 1920s by looking at the ways local and sectional interests affected official policy, its attitudes to the Irish Free State and partition, and the more tangential debate concerning both 2 unionist and nationalist perceptions of Northern Ireland’s identity.

I asked myself whether Ireland, as so often before in her tragic history, was to dash the cup of liberty from her hps ; was the insanity of a small section of her people once again to turn all her marvellous victories of the last few years into irreparable defeat, and to send her back, on the very eve of her final recognition as a free nation, into another long night of slavery, incalculable suffering, weary and uncertain struggle ?
