The Profound Impact Of The Irish Around The World
Irish Diaspora
If there is any story which appropriately conveys and encapsulates the irrepressible spirit and outstanding qualities of the Irish Diaspora it is the following tale of the fate of the Young Irelanders and their rebellion of 1848. The nine men in question were John Mitchell, Morris Lyene, Pat Donahue, Thomas McGee, Charles Duffy, Thomas Meagher, Richard O'Gorman, Terrence McManus and Michael Ireland.
They were charged with treason for their part in the rebellion, an offence punishable by death. Pleading their case before magistrates Thomas Meagher was ultimately, true to his word
"My Lord, this is our first offence but not our last. If you will be easy with us this once, we promise, on our word as gentlemen, to try better next time -- sure we won't be fools, and get caught."
The presiding Judge sentenced the nine men to be hung, drawn and quartered. Subsequently Queen Victoria commuted the sentence to exile on account of widespread public and political pressures. The men were shipped to Australia and to the work camps on the inhospitable terrain of Van Diemen's Land, modern day Tasmania.
Prime Minister of Australia
Over a quarter of a century later in 1874, Queen Victoria learned that one Sir Charles Duffy, the elected Prime Minister of Australia, was in fact the very same man whom she had exiled twenty five years previously. Upon further examination of the records of the men convicted alongside Duffy, it was established that his was not the only startling biography.
Governor of Montana
Thomas Francis Meagher had become Governor of the State of Montana, United States of America. Patrick Donahue and Terrence McManus were both Brigadier Generals in the United States Army. Richard O'Gorman had become Governor General of Newfoundland.
Attorney General of Australia
Morris Lyene was now the Attorney General of Australia. Thomas D'Arcy McGee was a Member of Parliament, Montreal, Minister of Agriculture and President of Council Dominion of Canada.
Mayor of New York
John Mitchell had become an important New York Politician and was the Father of John P. Mitchell, Mayor of New York.
This remarkable story has become part of the United States Congressional Record in Washington, D.C. and is held as a fine example of the excellence of the Irish in exile and it is also a reminder of the importance of what is termed today as' personal history' and the fact that this can, in the fullness of time, become history itself..

Continuity Irish Republican Army $105.14 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Continuity Irish Republican Army (CIRA) is an Irish republican paramilitary organisation that emerged from a split in the Provisional IRA in 1986. It considers itself a direct continuation of the Irish Republican Army (the army of the unilaterallydeclared 19191922 Irish Republic) that fought in the Irish War of Independence; as such, its supporters regard it as the national army of the Irish Republic occupying all 32 counties of the island of Ireland. It is designated as an illegal organisation in the Republic of Ireland and a designated terrorist organisation in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Official Irish Republican Army $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Official Irish Republican Army or Official IRA (informally the Officials or the Stickies ) is an Irish republican paramilitary group whose goal was to create a 32county workers republic in Ireland. It emerged from a split in the Irish Republican Army in December 1969, shortly after the beginning of The Troubles. The other group emerging from this split was the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Both groups continued to refer to themselves as the Irish Republican Army and rejected the political legitimacy of the other. It engaged in military action against the British Army until May 1972. Since then it has engaged in feuds with both the Provisional IRA and the Irish National Liberation Army, a radical splinter group formed in 1974. In later years, it was accused of involvement in organised crime. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Irish Republican Army (19221969) $114.71 The original Irish Republican Army (IRA) fought a guerrilla war against British rule in Ireland in the Irish War of Independence 19191921. Following the signing of the AngloIrish Treaty on 6 December 1921, the IRA in the 26 counties that were to become the Irish Free State split between supporters and opponents of the Treaty. The antiTreatyites, sometimes referred to by Pro Treaty forces as Irregulars, continued to use the name Irish Republican Army (IRA) or in Irish glaigh na hireann, as did the organisation in Northern Ireland which generally supported the proTreaty side. glaigh na hireann was also adopted as the name of the proTreaty National Army and remains the official legal title of the Irish Defence Forces. This article deals with the antiTreaty IRA that fought the Irish Civil War and was defeated by the Irish Free State forces and with its successors up to 1969, when the IRA split again.

The Story of the Irish Citizen Army $31.14 This is the first account of the formation of the Irish Citizen Army during the Dublin strike of 19131914, and the part it played in the subsequent history of Ireland. The author, who was himself a leading figure in the movement, writes with vigor and conviction on the role of labor in Ireland, and expresses a very definite opinion on the relations of the workers to the Nationalist movement. The book contains character portraits of Larkin, Connolly and the Countess Markiewicz; and facts bearing on the relations between the Citizen Army and the Volunteers emerge here for the first time.This dramatic account of the Irish Citizen Army also has its special importance in literary history as the first published work by Sean OCasey (under the pseudonym of P. O. Cathasaigh). Sean OCasey went on to become Irelands greatest playwright as well as the author of one of the most fascinating autobiographies in the history of literature. Author: OCasey, Sean Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 84 Publication Date: 2003/10/01 Language: English Dimensions: 8.96 x 6.04 x 0.26 inches |

The Provisional Irish Republican Army and the Morality of Terrorism $113.99 Is terrorism ever morally justified? How should historical and cultural factors be taken into account in judging the morality of terrorist acts? What are the ethical limits of state counter-terrorism? For three decades the Provisional Irish Republican Army waged an 'armed struggle' against what it considered to be the British occupation of Northern Ireland. To its supporters, the IRA was the legitimate army of Ireland, fighting to force a British withdrawal as a prelude to the re-unification of the Irish nation. To its enemies, the IRA was an illegal, fanatical, terrorist organization whose members were criminals willing to sacrifice innocent lives in pursuit of its ideological obsession. At the centre of the conflict were the then unconventional tactics employed by the IRA, including sectarian killings, political assassinations, and bombings that devastated urban centres - tactics that have become increasingly commonplace in the post-9/11 world. This book is the first detailed philosophical examination of the morality of the IRA's violent campaign, and of the British government's attempts to end it. Written in clear, accessible prose, it is essential reading for anyone wishing to acquire a deeper understanding of one of the paradigmatic conflicts of the late 20th century. |
