  • Harryboland Extract.Pdf
    I BORN INTO PATRIOTISM Irish freedom meant everything to Harry Boland. This yearning had been handed down to him from past generations on both sides of his family.1 Harry’s father, Jim, met Catherine Woods in Manchester while he was working at the laying of the Manchester Tramways. Catherine was born in Manchester in 1861, of Co. Louth lineage. Her father, Philip Woods, came from the Carlingford area. Her great-grandfather, James Woods, a blacksmith from Cooley, was whipped through the streets of Carlingford, tied to the back of a cart, for making pikes for the rebels in the 1798 Rising.2 Jim Boland could trace his roots to the townland of Cams in the parish of Fuerty, Co. Roscommon, but he was born in Manche ster in 1857. His father, Patrick, was very active in the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), a secret, oath-bound organisation dedicated to establishing an independent Ireland.3 Jim arrived in Dublin for the first time in 1880 as a foreman with the Liverpool firm Worthingtons, which had secured the contract for paving Dublin’s streets. Shortly afterwards, the city council decided to do the work by direct labour and Jim was given the job of overseer, with a weekly wage of £2. On 21 October 1882 he married Catherine in St Kevin’s Church, Harrington Street. While in Dublin, Jim became a member of the Supreme Council of the IRB. He was also the centre (secret leader) for the province of Leinster and at one time chairman of the Dublin 2 Born into Patriotism Directory of the IRB.4 Within the Directory, Jim was very friendly with Denis Seery.

  • Music by Joshua Salzman Book and Lyrics by Ryan Cunningham
    Michael Collins 1.3.19 -1- Salzman and Cunningham Michael Collins Music by Joshua Salzman Book and Lyrics by Ryan Cunningham Michael Collins 1.3.19 -2- Salzman and Cunningham SYNOPSIS MICHAEL COLLINS follows the true story of the Irish Rebel of the same name—but it’s more than just an Irish story. It’s a universal story of how people respond to oppression and the terrible cost to the oppressed when that response is violent—even if it ultimately leads to freedom. It begins in 1916, during the failed Easter Rising against the British. As a young soldier, Michael Collins sees the flawed methods that continually lead the Irish people to lose in uprising after uprising. Upon being released from prison, he joins with other rebels (Eamon De Valera, Harry Boland, Arthur Griffith, Cathal Brugha, and Tom Hales) to start a new kind of revolution: one that would eventually bring the British to the negotiating table for the first time in history and free Ireland—and cost Michael everything he holds dear. Michael Collins 1.3.19 -3- Salzman and Cunningham CAST: 14: 7 men—4 principals; 7 women—3 principals (CASTING NOTE: The cast should be made up of people who reflect the community in which the show is being presented—including and especially ethnic background and gender. The people of that community are telling an Irish story—but they begin the play as themselves in their own accents, presenting in their chosen gender. As the show begins, they pick up Irish instruments, adopt Irish accents, don Irish clothing, and portray character-specific genders

The Histories, Volume 9, Number 1 30 III Eamon de Valera and the Rivalry that Led to War By Julia W alsh‘12 When friends become enemies, the ramifications are disastrous. The two split and form an intense rivalry to assert their dominance or prove that they were correct (if an argument is an impetus for the split). However, some of the bitterest feuds occur when these close companions compete with each other as friends. Such a rivalry weakens a friendship. It turns into a competition where you stay friends to keep a closer eye on each other, fulfilling the adage: Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Consequently, a tipping point will ultimately sever ties and cause a more intense enmity between the two—no matter how conciliatory they appear to each other in person. Such friendships are often present in the realm of politics.

    | 37 CUMANN NA MBAN REGALIA Uniforms, Badges & Flags, 1914-1923 BY AILBHE ROGERS & PAUL GOSLING umann na mBan (henceforth CnamB) was founded in April 1914 as a women’s auxiliary organisation whose activities included: fi rst aid; the transporta- Ction and concealment of arms, ammunition and despatch- es; drilling; intelligence and propaganda work; providing for men on the run; prisoner network support and weap- ons care. The relationship between the CnamB and the Irish Volunteer leadership, has been explored in depth by historians, while the 2018 centenary commemorations drew considerable attention to questions of suff rage and female republicanism within the movement. However, there has been a distinct lack of research conducted on the militaristic aspects of CnamB as an organisation and the material culture surrounding CnamB, namely uniforms, badges and fl ags that survive in public and private posses- sion (Figs. 1-4). This paper will attempt to rectify this and shed light on the merits of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of military regalia. UNIFORMS: The fi rst directive given by the CnamB Execu- tive on the question of coordinated attire came in Septem- ber 1914 when fi rst-aid training sections were instructed to wear ‘a washing frock, nurse’s caps, aprons and cuff s. An armlet should be worn on the left arm with the words ‘Cumann na mBan’ printed, stencilled or embroidered above a green cross’ (Fig. 1). Against the backdrop of the First World Fig. 1: Emily Elliot wearing a Cumann na mBan uniform, badge and War in Ireland, this uniform was characteristic of several vol- fi rst aid armlet.
