  • Autumn 2016 Newsletter
    BLACKROCK COLLEGE NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2016 Dear Parents, What defines our College Community? It is a challenging question, one that has been given much thought as we prepared the way for our new strategic plan “Building on Tradition, 2016-21”. (Available from Reception if you do not have a copy already). What is the Blackrock of my and my son’s experience? When and where is Blackrock at its best? Blackrock at its best? – There are so many manifestations of this. The Second Year Family Mass, on Mission Sunday, 23rd October was one such occasion. The College Chapel was packed to the gills in celebration of who we are. ‘Everyone is a Missionary’ proclaimed the leaflet as Fr O’Brolchain, in his own inimitable style, told the assembled that “we are all sons and daughters of God” he urged all of us “to be loving people”. Of course, he added “it is not easy, but then what, that is worthwhile, is?” The spirit in the Chapel that Sunday morning defines us. If only we could bottle it and drink from it when we are confused or disappointed or frustrated with our lot. It was also apparent in the Pool Arena at the Swimming Gala the previous Thursday. Two hundred students, staff members and parents enjoyed Inter-House rivalry as well as competitive swimming. Wow – What an atmosphere! It is evident in the newly established ‘Thursday Tunes’, an occasion each Thursday Lunchtime for staff and students to sing along, to play or listen to music, to be part of a community, to celebrate and appreciate the talents around us.

    H-Socialisms Beatty on McNamara, 'Liam Mellows, Soldier of the Irish Republic: Selected Writings, 1914-1922' Review published on Sunday, December 22, 2019 Conor McNamara. Liam Mellows, Soldier of the Irish Republic: Selected Writings, 1914-1922. Dublin: Irish Academic Press, 2019. 200 pp. $24.99 (paper), ISBN 978-1-78855-078-9. Reviewed by Aidan Beatty (University of Pittsburgh) Published on H-Socialisms (December, 2019) Commissioned by Gary Roth (Rutgers University - Newark) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=54349 Liam Mellows on the Irish Republic Liam Mellows (1892-1922) is an important figure in Ireland but practically unknown in the rest of the world. Influential within nationalist circles, he was "a central figure in the republican movement in both Ireland and the United States from his first involvement with the Fianna Éireann republican boy scouts in 1911, until his execution at the height of the [Irish] Civil War in December 1922" (p. 2). His "Notes from Mountjoy Jail," written immediately prior to his death, have become a key text for Irish left republicanism. Conor McNamara's astutely selected collection of Mellows's writings—culled from various nationalist newspapers and holdings of the National Library of Ireland since "Mellows left no archive of private papers"—provides an effective overview of his ideas and life, accompanied by well- written annotations and introductory essays (pp. 29-30). Mellows was born to an Irish mother and English father, but already at age sixteen he had turned his back on his father's military career, finding work as a bookkeeper instead.

  • Religion and the State in Ireland1
    CARMEN GARCIMARTIN MARIA CAHILL Religion and the State in Ireland1 I. SOCIAL CONTEXT The 2011 Census records that there are now more Catholics living in Ireland than there have been at any time since 1881 when records began. That figure of 3,861,335 Catholics among a total population of 4,588,252 represents 84 percent, which is simultaneously the lowest percentage recorded since 1881.2 Since the previous census in 2006 (which the original version of this report was based on) there is an increase of 179,889 “new” Catholics living in the country, although the percentage of Catholics per total population has fallen from 86.8 percent.3 The number of adherents to the faith of the Church of Ireland has also increased, albeit much more modestly, to 134,365, and represents 2.9 percent of the total population. There are 49,201 Muslims, 45,223 Orthodox Christians and 1,984 Jews registered on the census, which represent 1 percent, 0.99 percent and 0.04 percent respectively of the total population. The number of atheists is registered at 3,905 and agnostics at 3,521 which represent 0.085 percent and 0.077 percent respectively.4 Since some of these figures are heavily influenced by immigration, it is worth noting that of the Catholics, 3,525,573 (92 percent) are Irish whereas 282,799 (7.4 percent) are non-Irish (233,827 of whom come from other EU countries; mostly Poland and the UK); of the members of the Church of Ireland 93,056 (75 percent) are Irish whereas 30,464 (24 percent) are non-Irish; of the Muslims 18,223 (38 percent) are Irish whereas

  • The Clubs of the Irish Confederation
    Popular mobilisation and the rising of 1848: the clubs of the Irish Confederation GARY OWENS In the twelve months leading up to the Young Ireland rising in late July 1848, nationalists in cities, towns, and villages across the country established more than 200 organisations known as confederate clubs. At their peak, these groups boasted a combined membership of more than 40,000 people, all of whom were, in the words of one of their leaders, joined in a common enterprise: 'to destroy the English interest in this country root and branch, to institute a national government and, by our laws and arms, to restore the country in its full integrity and glory to its own brave people'.' Ireland had not heard political rhetoric of this kind or witnessed political mobilisation along these lines since the 1790s. Like the United Irishmen and the Defenders of a half-century earlier, the confederate clubs aimed to mobilise a broad section of the population and to achieve self-government for Ireland through phys-- ical force if necessary. But unlike their eighteenth century counterparts, the con- federate clubs have not stirred the interests of many historians. As far as I at-n aware, only one writer - the Japanese scholar Takashi Koseki - has studied the clubs in any detail and he has focused on the Dublin organisations.' Others who have dis- cussed the clubs in passing have under-estimated their size and over-emphasised their urban character, resulting in an imperfect image of their basic structure. One recent survey claims, for example, that 'at their widest extent the clubs never num- bered more than about seventy', that total membership barely exceeded 20,000, that they were concentrated mainly in Dublin, and that 'organisation in the coun- tryside, not surprisingly, was virtually non-existent'.3 In reality as we shall see, the number of clubs was more than three times this estimate, membership was well in excess of 40,000, and by the eve of the rising at least three-quarters of the clubs were located, not in the capital, but in the country at large.
