Estella Solomons: a Portrait of the Artist As a Republican CULTURE Estella Solomons: A portrait of the artist as a Republican Painter concealed ammunition in her studio, writes Róisín Kennedy STELLA SOLOMONS came from a prominent Jewish Dublin family. Her E father, Maurice, was a well-known optician and his practice on Nassau Street is mentioned in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Solomons trained at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art where Willie Pearse had also been a student. Her contemporary at the school, Beatrice Elvery remembered that ‘it was difficult not to be swept away in a flood of patriotism’. Solomons continued her studies at the Chelsea School of Art in London and at Colorossi’s Studio in Paris where she was accompanied by Elvery and Cissie Beckett, aunt of the future writer Samuel Beckett. A visit to a major exhibition of the work Estella Solomons’ portraits of Erskine Childers and Sinn Féin activist Darrell Figgis, and a self-portrait. of Rembrandt in Amsterdam in 1906 had a decisive impact on one of Seán Milroy, a frequent back in Limerick, discovered that in this endeavour by Kathleen her art practice.

  • In 1904, George Olden Became the New General Manager. Between 1906 and 1913, the Hotel Enjoyed Great Success
    In 1904, George Olden became the new General Manager. Between 1906 and 1913, the hotel enjoyed great success. New additions included the telephone and a lift. Guests started arriving by car and tram. The summer of 1912 saw a great influx of visitors from USA, Japan and Australia. In 1914 with the outbreak of war, several of the hotel’s German staff were interned and The Shelbourne unofficially became the hub of military activity. The Republican Rising of Easter 1916 was a seminal date in the Shelbourne’s history. The hotel owners remained loyal to the Crown during the Easter Rebellion. However, some staff members did not. It emerged later that one hotel porter made regular forays up to the rooftop and signalled the movement of troops within the hotel to the rebel forces across the Green. Yet, despite all the disturbances, the hotel management and staff managed to carry on almost as normal. On Easter Monday when fighting broke out on the Green, afternoon tea was transferred from the Drawing Room to the Writing and Reading Room at the rear of the hotel for safety (this room is now the Horseshoe Bar). On Tuesday afternoon, forty soldiers were sent to garrison the hotel, making it a legitimate target for the rebels across the Green. The Shelbourne came under regular fire for the remainder of the week. The windows were sandbagged and shuttered; the great entrance door was barricaded. A skeleton staff operated the hotel’s services and titled guests acted as waiters. By Wednesday, the hotel opened its doors to receive the injured, irrespective of the side on which side they fought.

Émilie Berthillot 1 After decades of riots throughout the 19th century,1 the Irish rebels fighting for Home Rule decided to foster a rebellion taking advantage of the involvement of Great Britain in the First World War. To fight against British forces, Irish activists were in desperate need of weapons whose importation was banned by the Proclamation of King George V issued on 4 December 1913 (Figgis, 2014, p. XXV). They thus turned to Germany to provide them with illegal ones.

He attended the Christian Brothers School in Marino, and later worked in the family business, a grocers and licensed premises. His first brush with politics came in 1905 when, with his brother Phil and uncle P.J., he attended the first Sinn Féin convention in 1905. Serving as a Sinn Féin councillor on Dublin Corporation from 1909 until 1922, he joined the Irish Volunteers in 1913, although he never joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood. During the Easter 1916 Rising, Cosgrave served under Eamonn Ceannt at the South Dublin Union. His was not a minor role, and after the Rising he was sentenced to death. This was later commuted to penal servitude for life, and he was transported to Frongoch in Wales along with many other rebels. As public opinion began to favour the rebels, Cosgrave stood for election in the 1917 Kilkenny city by-election, and won despite being imprisoned. This was followed by another win the following year in Kilkenny North. Cosgrave took his seat in the First Dáil on his release from prison in 1919.

The book was well received: Andrew Malone even claims that it "caused something of a sensation" when it was published (25).1 The real identity of"Michael Ireland" was at first a mystery, but as the novel involved fantasy and the use of Irish mythological material, the author was initially widely believed to be James Stephens. The revelation that The Return ofthe Hero had been written by Darrell Figgis was met with general incredulity; upon hearing the news Yeats is reported to have remarked, "'I'm afraid we'll have to recognize Figgis as a literary man, after all'" (quoted in Colum, 28), while James Stephens, in his introduction to the American edition of 1930, expressed the opinion that "... ifDarrell Figgis wrote The Return ofthe Hero, then literarycriticisnl stands baffled, and we mustadmit that occasions can arise in which the impossible becomes possible, and the unbelievable is to be credited" (quoted in Hogan, 238).2 On the surface, Darrell Figgis (1882-1925) seemed indeed an unlikely candidate for the authorship of a work of menippean satire3 based upon the legendary confrontation between Saint Patrick and the Old Irish hero Oisin, son of the great Finn mac Cumhal.

  • 1 Fighting and Writing: Journalists and the 1916 Easter Rising Mark O
    Fighting and Writing: Journalists and the 1916 Easter Rising Mark O’Brien Abstract The relationship between journalists and the Irish rebellion of Easter 1916 is a complex one. While the Rising was led in large part by a miscellany of poets, editors and journalists (many of whom feature prominently in the Rising’s historiography) many lesser-known journalists acted as planners and participants in the insurrection. As well as assessing the contribution of these lesser-known journalists to the events of 1916 and the Rising’s impact on journalistic life in Dublin, it explores how a representative organisation – the Irish Journalists’ Association – acted as a cover for the clandestine insurgent-related activities of many journalists. It finds that the IJA played a key role in facilitating the expression of radical views by this cohort of journalists who could not express their radicalism through their everyday posts on the mainstream media and, by so doing, it played a key, though hitherto unacknowledged, role in the events of Easter 1916. Keywords Journalism, 1916 Rising, Ireland, Press, Irish Journalists’ Association, Trade Unionism Introduction The historiography of the 1916 Rising is well established and, amid its centenary, ongoing.1 Home rule for Ireland was enshrined in the Government of Ireland Act 1914 but was shelved following the outbreak of the First World War – a decision that averted a clash between the Ulster Volunteer Force, formed to prevent home rule being implemented, and the Irish Volunteers which had been established to ensure the realisation of a Dublin parliament. The reaction of both organisations to the war would reverberate through Irish history for decades afterwards.

They detail the early planning phases of what would ultimately become the Howth gun-running: the importation of a consignment of 1,500 rifles and 45,000 rounds of ammunition that had been purchased at Hamburg by Darrell Figgis and Erskine Childers. The latter captained the yacht which brought the majority of these weapons ashore on 26 July at Howth. The remaining 600 rifles came ashore at Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow on 1 August, the day Germany declared war on Russia. In the background of the Howth and Kilcoole landings was the Larne gun-running. On the night of 24-25 April, Ulster unionists had successfully landed approximately 25,000 rifles and 3 million rounds of ammunition at Larne, Bangor, and Donaghadee on the north Antrim coast. April’s UVF gun-running, coupled with the loss of confidence in the British military in Ireland after the Curragh crisis of 20-23 March (see March’s From the Archives), created a wave of panic in nationalist Ireland. Historian Aodogán O'Rahilly estimates that the nationalist Irish Volunteers were signing up 1,000 new recruits per week in this period.
