  • "We Are the Young Europeans," Boasts Ireland's Industrial Development Authority
    "We are the young Europeans," boasts Ireland's Industrial Development Authority. When this Kerryman was photographed a century ago, continu- ing emigration threatened to make Ireland a country populated chiefly by old people and children. Today's young Irish adults are staying home. The Wilson QuarterlyISpring 1985 48 The Irish Mention Bolivia or Belgium to the average American adult, and the conversation will soon flag. Bring up Ireland, and the talk will always find a focus. Yeats? Killarney? Guinness? Associa- tions generously tumble forth. Some 40 million Americans have Irish blood in their veins; five times that many, it seems, believe they can imitate an Irish brogue. Often overlooked-veiled, per- haps, by an assumed familiarity-is how unfamiliar to most Americans the Republic of Ireland really is. The Republic is, to- day, a Common Market member with some 20th-century prob- lems, some 21st-century industries, and some abiding (if eroding) 19th-century attitudes. As Britain's Prime Minister William Gladstone noted a century ago, the behavior of the En- glish toward the Irish constituted the darkest stain upon the his- tory of a splendid people. As continued strife in Northern Ireland attests, old passions remain. Our contributors here focus on the Republic of Ireland-on its past and its present-and on the peculiar Irish immigrant experience in America. TROUBLES by Thomas C. Garvin Nature placed Ireland exactly the wrong distance from Great Britain. Had the island been somewhat closer to its larger sister, the Irish people might well have become more fully assimilated into the British family, much as the Scots and Welsh have been.

The papers provide a significant source for the history of the development of the party and its policies through the comprehensive series of press statements issued over many years. In January 1977 during the annual Sinn Féin Árd Fheis members voted for a name change and the party became known as Sinn Féin the Workers’ Party. A concerted effort was made in the late 1970s to increase the profile and political representation of the party. In 1979 Tomás MacGiolla won a seat in Ballyfermot in the local elections in Dublin. Two years later in 1981 the party saw its first success at national level with the election of Joe Sherlock in Cork East as the party’s first TD. In 1982 Sherlock, Paddy Gallagher and Proinsias de Rossa all won seats in the general election. In 1981 the Árd Fheis voted in favour of another name change to the Workers’ Party.

In these plays Behan utilizes song to such an extent one cannot overlook the integrai nature of musical interludes within the body of the plays. A wide variety of songs and musical interludes are interjected into the action of these three plays and, as such, they often satirically comment upon the action of the play while also presenting the audience with a more perceptive understanding of the characters who sing them.

  • Irregulars: Tales of Republican Dissonance
    The Sixties, very roughly the period between the end of the 1956 – 62 Campaign (waged by the IRA and Saor Ulaidh) and the intensification of the Provisionals’ War in Northern Ireland in the early seventies, was an irregular period in Irish political life. This irregular period was, irregularly, a time when all the categories of Irish politics, from the nation to the polity, from Hibernianism to Republicanism, from Socialism to Unionism were actively thought about and fought over, in the streets and the pubs of Ireland, and in the dreams of Irishmen and Irishwomen. That is the background to the stories contained in this book, which attempt to show how the irregularity of those times was answered in the name of the poor and the powerless and the rights of the people of Ireland by a group of men of no property and no name, or of many names:—the IRREGULARS.
