'The god of our small world': Art O'Brien and Irish nationalism in London, 1900-1925 (2018)

'The god of our small world': Art O'Brien and Irish nationalism in London, 1900-1925 (2018)

Mac Diarmada, Mary

Abstract:

This thesis uses the life of Art O’Brien (1872-1949) as a central axis on which to construct an analysis of Irish nationalism in London from 1900 to 1925. Born and reared in London, O’Brien became a leading member of the Gaelic League, Sinn Féin, the Irish Volunteers, the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Irish Self-Determination League of Great Britain. His career as an electrical engineer placed him at the centre of the London business milieu and he was a key mobiliser of the Irish community. Appointed London envoy of Dáil Éireann in 1919, he was a close confidant of Michael Collins throughout the War of Independence. He was also a mediator in various peace initiatives during 1920 and 1921 and introduced de Valera to Lloyd George at their first meeting in July 1921. Following O’Brien’s rejection of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, he became embroiled in various financial disputes and suffered a spectacular fall from grace. He has been a neglected figure in the historiography of the I...

"Resigned to take the bill with its defects" : The Catholic Church and the third Home Rule bill (2014)

"Resigned to take the bill with its defects" : The Catholic Church and the third Home Rule bill (2014)

Ó Corráin, Daithí

Abstract:

For the Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy the possibility of Irish self-government in 1912-14 presented both potential benefits and lurking dangers. Their responses to the third home rule bill and the deepening crisis of 1913 and 1914 were conditioned by two overarching factors. The first was their level of confidence in the leadership of the Irish Party. The second applied chiefly to the Ulster bishops: the prospect of exclusion from an Irish parliament imperilled their religious and educational interests. By the onset of the First World War, the spectre of partition had stretched their trust in the Irish Party and support for a Home Rule settlement to breaking point.

Creamery attacks (2017)

Creamery attacks (2017)

Breathnach, Proinnsias

Abstract:

Creameries became a key target for reprisals by Crown forces in Ireland in 1920. Industrial units in which cream was separated from milk and churned into butter, creameries had become a key element in the rural economy in most dairying districts following their introduction to Ireland in the 1880s. These districts were mainly located in Munster and south Leinster and in a large region in the northern part of the island stretching from Sligo across to north Antrim.

The impact of the Irish Revolution on a garrison county: Kildare, 1912-1923 (2019)

The impact of the Irish Revolution on a garrison county: Kildare, 1912-1923 (2019)

Cullen, Seamus

Abstract:

This thesis examines the impact of the Irish Revolution on County Kildare from 1912 to 1923. A noted garrison county, the concentration of British military personnel was the highest in Ireland and the Curragh was the most extensive military camp in the country. The military presence continued after the British withdrawal when military barracks passed to the National army. The economy in Kildare was heavily dependent on the military connection. A central theme of this dissertation is an analysis of the impact of Kildare’s garrison status on the county’s experience of the Irish Revolution. Based on rigorous research of British and Irish archives, which has unearthed hitherto little used material, this dissertation charts the fortunes of home rule in Kildare during which the county was at the centre of the Curragh incident in 1914 when the loyalty of the army to the government was called into question; it explains the slow development of the Irish Volunteers in the county and the pos...

Towards a Further Understanding of the Violence Experienced by Women in the Irish revolution (MUSSI Working Paper Series, no.7) (2019)

Connolly, Linda

Abstract:

During armed conflicts, women’s bodies become battlefields. Did this apply in the period covering the War of Independence and Civil War or was Ireland’s revolution an exception ? Traumatic events that occurred in this divisive period of Irish history were s ubsequently submerged in the memory of the new State. Peter Burke has stated that anthropologists became aware of the problem of “collective amnesia”: ...in investigating oral traditions, while historians encountered it in the course of studying events such as the Holocaust or civil wars of the twentieth century in Finland, Ireland, Russia, Spain and elsewhere. The problem is not a loss of memory at the individual level but the disappearance from public discourse of certain events...These events are in a sense ‘repressed’ not necessarily because they were traumatic, though many of them were but because it has become politically inconvenient to refer to them.
