ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the constitutive rhetorical strategies of revolutionary Irish nationalists operating transnationally from 1858-1876. Collectively known as the Fenians, they consisted of the Irish Republican Brotherhood in the United Kingdom and the Fenian Brotherhood in North America. Conceptually grounded in the main schools of Burkean constitutive rhetoric, it examines public and private letters, speeches, Constitutions, Convention Proceedings, published propaganda, and newspaper arguments of the Fenian counterpublic. It argues two main points. First, the separate national constraints imposed by England and the United States necessitated discursive and non- discursive rhetorical responses in each locale that made

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.

  • About Towards a Republic
    About Towards a Republic Towards a Republic is an innovative digitisation and engagement project which opens up the archives of the National Library of Ireland to tell the story of Ireland’s journey to independence. Part of the Library’s ongoing projects marking the Irish Decade of Centenaries (1912-1923), Towards a Republic provides insights into the events and personalities that shaped the revolutionary period in Ireland. Material that has been newly digitised and catalogued for Towards a Republic includes the personal papers of Arthur Griffith, Annie O’Farrelly, Elizabeth O’Farrell and Julia Grenan, Austin Stack and Laurence Ginnell, amongst many others. Further material highlights the activities of important organisations such as the Irish National Aid and Volunteers Dependents Fund which provided much needed financial support to the families of men killed or arrested during the 1916 Easter Rising. These collections offer insights into the complex events and people that shaped the later revolutionary period and Irish Civil War. The primary evidence revealed by Towards a Republic helps us to understand and contextualise the decisions, motivations and reactions of these men and women within the complicated and changing world they lived in a century ago. For example, the letters and memoirs of Kathleen Clarke, a prominent republican nationalist, recall her early life in Limerick as part of an influential Fenian family, and her meeting and later marriage to Tom Clarke, his participation in the Easter Rising and subsequent execution. Her memoirs, which are both handwritten and typescripts, detail her imprisonment in Holloway Jail and her influential political career in Sinn Féin.

  • Cumann Na Mban: During the Easter Rising
    Cumann na mBan: During the Easter Rising Dylan Savoie Junior Division Individual Documentary Process Paper: 500 words Once I learned about National History Day, I immediately wanted to do something related to my Irish heritage seeing as my mother was born in Ireland. In my research, I found the Easter Rising. Now that I had narrowed my selection down, I began to dig deeper, and I came across an Irish women's group, Cumann na mBan, that helped greatly in the Rising but has gone largely unnoticed in history. I tried to have a wide range of research. First, I began by searching for a video about Cumann na mBan. I had found an RTE documentary on the Easter Rising of 1916. It was in that documentary that I came across Fr. Oliver Rafferty, a professor at Boston College. I was able to obtain his email address, contact him, and we had a phone interview. I searched websites and books at my local and Boston Public Library, taking notes and citing them in Noodletools as I went. The Burns Library at Boston College has the most extensive Irish History collection outside of Ireland, so in January, I went there too and was able to obtain many primary sources. In February, I went to Boston College and interviewed Fr. Rafferty in person. I was able to talk with him and combine what I had learned in my research to understand my topic in more depth than I had before. After I collected my research, I decided that my project would be best represented in the form of a documentary.
