In the Basque Country, 1895 marked the birth of the Partido Nacionalista Vasco (Basque Nationalist Party), concurrent with the development of the cultural nationalist movement known as the ‘Gaelic revival’ in pre-revolutionary Ireland. In 1939, the Spanish Civil War ended with the destruction of the Spanish Second Republic, plunging Basque nationalism into decades of intense persecution. Conversely, at this same time, Irish nationalist aspirations were realized to an unprecedented degree during the ‘republicanization’ of the Irish Free State under Irish leader Éamon de Valera.

Some few years ago, at the request of Colonel John Joyce, I wrote a memorandum upon the Dá11 Court for the Bureau of Military History. I had kept no diaries for the years 1920 to 1922 and had very few records with which to refresh my memory of the events which I attempted to describe. The memorandum had therefore to take the form of reminiscences of my personal experiences as a Judge of the Dáil Courts. What follows is intended to be a kind of sequel to that memorandum and a similar record of my personal experiences as the first Judge-Advocate-General of the Defence Forces of the Provisional Government and afterwards of the Irish Free State. I kept no diaries f or the years 1922 to 1926; and will have again to depend upon my unaided memory with occasional resort, in all probability, to the contemporary press and books of reference for the purpose of checking or ascertaining names or dates or the sequence of events.

  • Irish Political and Public Reactions to the Spanish Civil War
    Neutral Ireland? Irish Political and Public Reactions to the Spanish Civil War Lili ZÁCH University of Szeged The Spanish Civil War is considered to be one of the most significant events in the in- ter-war period. Interestingly, the events between 1936 and 1939 reflect not only the for- mulation of power politics in Europe, but also the aims of the Irish1 government in diplo- matic terms. Irish participation in the Spanish Civil War attracted considerable attention recently. However, the Iberian events were not given primary importance in the history of Irish foreign policy. Anglo-Irish relations and the concept of Irish neutrality during and after the Second World War have been the key issues. Although it is a well-known fact in Irish historical circles that the overwhelming majority of the Irish population was support- ing Franco because of religious reasons, other aspects such as the Irish government's ad- herence to non-intervention and the motivations behind it are mostly ignored. So I am inclined to think that it is worth examining the Irish reaction to the Spanish Civil War in its entirety; that is, paying attention to the curiosity of non-intervention as well. This is more than interesting as the "Irishmen were not, as yet, intervening in Spain; but few were neutral."2 In order to provide an insight into Irish public opinion, I based my research partly on the reports of contemporary Dublin-centred Irish daily newspapers, namely the 'conserva- tive' Irish Independent, the 'republican' Irish Press and the 'liberal' Irish Times. All three took different stands on the Spanish Civil War.

While her father, Charles, was British, her mother, Mollie, was Irish and Frances inherited from her a love of Ireland. As a child she visited Ireland frequently. She worked at various jobs in her early adulthood, including working in a library, in broadcasting, as a purser on the Cunard lines, with the publisher W.H. Allen and also with the British Waterways Board. However, it was as a writer that she found her passion and this was particularly evident on the topic of the Irish revolutionary period, and on the life of anti-Treaty IRA commandant and writer Ernie O’Malley in particular. Due to this interest, in the mid-1970s she helped with the initial sorting and cataloguing of the Ernie O’Malley papers, one of the largest collections of historical documents of the Irish Civil War period, for the then Archives Department of University College Dublin. Following her work on the O’Malley papers, she edited his best-selling book on the Civil War, The Singing Flame.

It asks whether comparative theories of the genesis and stabilisation of democracy explain the Irish experience of democratic stability after independence. Each chapter tests the explanatory power of a distinct theoretical approach within democratic theory. These theories can be divided into two categories : those that emphasise structural pre-conditions for democratisation and the stabilisation of democracy ; and those that emphasise the importance of elite variables in these processes. My conclusion is that the emergence of a democratic system in independent Ireland could have been predicted by macro-sociological theories of democratisation, but that the stabilisation of such a system after 1922 can be considered an example of a successful re-equilibration which occurred after the Fianna Fail party rose to power in 1932.
