    Chapter 12 Hibernia: voices of dissent, 1968–80 Brian Trench For at least the last decade of its existence, spanning the 1970s, Hibernia had a strong presence in Irish media as an independent, frequently dissenting voice. It provided a platform for a wider range of opinion than was represented in daily and weekly newspapers and in broadcasting. It was a springboard for young graduates into significant careers in journalism. It is often fondly remembered in anecdote but it has not been the subject of extended analysis or even of a personal memoir that offers a broader appraisal or account of its place in Irish media and society.1 In his history of Irish media, John Horgan offers a packed paragraph that recounts: [John] Mulcahy … turned it into a lively, irreverent and often well-informed magazine which specialised in an eclectic but highly marketable mix of political gossip and features, book reviews, and authoritative business and financial journalism. Its tone was crusading and investigative: by 1973 it was already carrying articles alleging conflicts of interest and possible corruption in relation to the activities of local politicians in the Greater Dublin area – an issue which resurfaced with dramatic effect, at the end of the 1990s.2 There are passing references in other works of history and reference, such as MacRedmond’s Modern Irish Lives, which refers to its ‘searching liberal critique of Irish society’ and Morash’s history of media, which describes Hibernia as ‘robustly critical … [and] … in some respects [setting] the agenda for the magazines that would follow it in the 1980s’.3 Journalists’ books covering the 1960s and 1970s, including those by Tim Pat Coogan, T.

For the first time since 1935, contraceptives could be imported, distributed and sold within Ireland.1 This legislation was enacted at a time when many European states had introduced far reaching reforms on matters of sexual morality. Britain had decriminalised homosexuality, legalised abortion and liberalised access by unmarried women to contraception. Consequently, ‘reproduction could be treated as entirely separate from and irrelevant to female sexual pleasure’.2 For Ireland, the changes in Catholic Europe were of particular significance. France legalised contraception in 1967 and abortion in 1975 (‘loi Veil’). The Italian parliament and electorate endorsed divorce and abortion despite opposition from the Catholic Church and the dominant Christian Democratic Party. Here, as in other predominantly Catholic societies, there is evidence for significant change in attitudes on complex moral issues.3 In the Netherlands, a conservative moral order was 1 Chrystel Hug, The Politics of Sexual Morality in Ireland (Houndmills, Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1999), 96-115; Unless otherwise indicated Ireland refers to the 26 counties that seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922 to establish the Irish Free State.

I want to record my heartfelt thanks for her unfailing attention, patience and generosity. Our meetings always provided me with plenty of food for thought and thanks to Jacinta’s kindness I rarely left our meetings on an empty stomach. This I think is something of an irony considering the nature of the topic, but it was always a welcome boost! On a more serious note I want to record that as my supervisor Jacinta brought great intellectual rigour tempered with the human qualities of generosity and kindness. Special thanks must also go to Professor R.V. Comerford who encouraged me down this path and to Professor Marian Lyons, Professor Jackie Hill, Professor Raymond Gillespie for their invaluable suggestions and clarity of thought always willingly provided when sought.

    The Irish Press 1919-1948 Origins and Issues MA in Communications

    1 The Irish Press 1919-1948 Origins and Issues Thesis in respect of the degree of MA in Communications Student: David Robbins Dublin City University School of Communications Supervisor: Professor John Horgan Date: June, 2006 2 I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of an MA in Communications is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. SignCd: ^O U A A ^ ID No: 96971355 Date: ^ - © b 3 Abstract This thesis provides a broad history of the Irish Press during the years 1919-1948. It sets forth how, from 1919 onwards, Republican leader Eamon de Valera became convinced of the need for a newspaper sympathetic to his aims, and how he went about raising funds for the enterprise both in Ireland and the United States. The corporate structure of the Irish Press is also examined, with particular emphasis on the role of the Controlling Director and the influence of the Irish Press American Corporation. The Irish Press was first published in 1931, and the thesis examines its support for Fianna Fail in the period under study. The work also examines the changes in the relationship between the party and the paper as Fianna Fail became more entrenched in government. The role of the first editor of the Irish Press. Frank Gallagher, is considered. The changes in the attitude of the Irish Press to Fianna Fail in the post-Gallagher period are also examined, with emphasis on the findings of the Fianna Fail sub-committee on publicity.
  • The Meaning of Liberalism in Ireland

    The Meaning of Liberalism in Ireland

    1 Conor Cruise O’Brien and the meanings of Irish liberalism* It is, I think, becoming increasingly rare to hear Irish historians making statements to the effect that the recent northern ‘Troubles’ have had little or no influence on Irish historical writing. Yet, we are only now beginning to address what the possible effects were, and how they shaped our understanding of Irish society, past and present. To begin to talk about any of this we have first to acknowledge that developments in historical understanding over the past forty years have sometimes taken place in a brutalising atmosphere of recrimination. In this context, deviations from historical and other cultural orthodoxies have too often been construed as support for terrorism. ‘There were times in the 1980s’, Colm Tóibín wrote in 1995, ‘when it was hard not to feel that Field Day had become the literary wing of the IRA’.1 Quoting Tóibín, Frank Shovlin recently wrote: ‘It is hard to believe now, a decade after the signing of the Belfast Agreement, that the stakes in the Irish culture wars were ever raised to this high a pitch’.2 And this prompts the observation that the past historians, even cultural historians, are most insensitive to, is the history immediately preceding their own vocation. This cannot be remembered, and likely it has not yet been 1 29/06/2012 John REGAN Meaning of liberalism in Ireland Liberal Wars Reading 8.doc 2 historicised. But it is precisely this history that shapes the professions into which we are quietly initiated. On 26 October 1974, government minister, Dr Conor Cruise O’Brien, addressed himself in a speech to the meaning of Irish liberalism.

To date no such study has been produced. The study has as its central focus developments surrounding the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the two states in 1973, and considers aspects of how those relations evolved down to 1980.
