  • Irish Responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan

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.

  • Secular Relics: Casement’S Boat, Casement’S Dish
    Textual Practice 16(2), 2002, 277–302 Lucy McDiarmid Secular relics: Casement’s boat, Casement’s dish ‘An té a bhíonn go maith duit, bí go maith dhó,’ mar a dúirt Cailleach Bhéarra le Cailleach Mhaigh Eo.’ ‘The one who’s good to you, be good to him,’ as the Witch of Beare said to the Witch of Mayo.’ (proverb) The moment Roger Casement landed on Irish soil in North Kerry on 21 April, Good Friday, 1916, around two-thirty in the morning, grand, magical transformations took place. The small wooden rowboat carrying Casement and two companions from the German U-boat had overturned in the waves, and the men pulled it along as they swam ashore. Soaking wet, exhausted, Casement touched Banna Strand and fell asleep. A change occurred: his body became a collection of future rst-class relics, his clothing and possessions future second-class relics, and all the paraphernalia he brought ashore instant memorabilia. At that moment Banna Strand itself became a charismatic landscape, a place of supernatural power, a point of pilgrimage. 1 Even before the people of North Kerry were aware that a patriot ready to die for Ireland had landed in their midst, objects ew from the scene. By four in the morning, when Casement and the others had gone inland, the boat had been claimed as salvage by the rst local resident who saw it, John McCarthy, though it was appropriated by the police before it could be sold. 2 By nine in the morning, the dagger (one of several weapons in the pile of equipment not quite hidden in the sand) had been taken by Thomas Lyons, whose nephew mentioned the theft in a letter thirty-six years later.

The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years. Walsh charged Dubliners Image By: HalfPennyBridge-Public Domain a ha'penny to cross the bridge, which was the same price he had charged Image Source: for a ferry ride. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha'penny_Bridge#mediaviewer/File:HalfPennyBridge.jpg The bridge gets its name from the ha'penny toll but officially it has been called the Liffey Bridge since 1922.
