| ARTICLES RELATED TO Eamon de Valera | | | |  Eamon de Valera: Encyclopedia II - Labour Party Ireland - Labour in the Irish Free StateThe Anglo-Irish Treaty divided the Labour party. Some members sided with the Irregulars in the Irish Civil War that quickly followed. O'Brien and Johnson encouraged its members to support the Treaty. In the 1922 general election the party won 17 seats. However there were a number of strikes during the first year and a loss in support got the party. In the 1923 election Labour only won 14 seats.

| | | | | Eamon de Valera: Encyclopedia II - History of Dublin - Colonial Dublin Dublin and its inhabitants were transformed by the upheavals of the 16th and 17th centuries in Ireland. These saw the first thorough English conquest of the whole island under the Tudor dynasty. While the Old English community of Dublin and the Pale were happy with the conquest and disarmament of the native Irish, they were deeply alienated by the Protestant reformation that had taken place in England, being all almost all Roman Catholics. In addition, they were angered by being forced to pay for the English garrisons of the country through ...

| | | | | Eamon de Valera: Encyclopedia II - History of Ireland 1801-1922 - Act of Union and Catholic Emancipation Ireland opened the nineteenth century still reeling from the after effects of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Prisoners were still being deported to Australia and sporadic violence continued in county Wicklow. There was another minor rebellion led by Robert Emmet in 1803. The Act of Union, which constitutionally made Ireland part of the British state can largely be seen as an attempt to pacify the country ...

Governor-General of the Irish Free State - Origins.
When the Irish Free State seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922 it was under the terms of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty. While Irish political leaders favoured the creation of a republic the treaty required, instead, that the new state would be a Dominion of the British Commonwealth under a form of constitutional monarchy. Central to the agreed system of government was to be a "Representative of the Crown". The new office was not named in the treaty, but the com ...

"Southern Ireland" was to be all of Ireland except for "the parliamentary counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone, and the parliamentary bor ...

As a result Fine Gael-The United Ireland Party was founded as an independent party in 1933, following the merger of the Cumann na nGaedheal, the Centre Party and the Army Comrades Association. In reality, it was really a larger version of Cumann na nGaedhael, the party created in 1923 by the Pro-Treaty leaders of ...

| | | | | Eamon de Valera: Encyclopedia II - John A. Costello - Taoiseach 1948-1951 Since Fine Gael was the largest party in the government it had the task of providing a suitable candidate for Taoiseach. Naturally it was assumed that its leader, Richard Mulcahy, would be offered the post, however, he was an unacceptable choice to Clann na Poblachta and its deeply republican leader, Seán MacBride. This was due to Mulchay's record during the Civil War. Instead, Mulcahy unselfishly stepped aside and allowed Costello to become Taoiseach. Costello, who had never held a ministerial position and who hadn't sought the leadership was now the leader of a complex government. Mu ...

Irish language - Stages of the Irish language.
The introduction of Irish to Ireland dates from some time after 1200 BC.2 The earliest form of the language, Primitive Irish, is found in ogham inscriptions up to about the 4th centuryAD. After the conversion to Christianity, Old Irish begins to appear as glosses in the margins of Latin manuscripts, beginning in the 6th century, until it gives way in the 10th century to Middle Irish. Modern Irish dates from about the 16th century.

Irish potato famine legacy - In Ireland.
Political reaction resulted from the Famine, because of the extremely limited franchise that existed at the time. While Ireland in the 1820s to 1840s had been dominated by the Catholic Emancipation and "Repeal" movements under Daniel O'Connell, it was not until the 1880s under Charles Stewart Parnell, nearly forty years after the Famine, that a major Irish nationalist political movement, the Home Rule League (later known as the 'Parliamentary Party') appeared. Parnell was ...

Irish nationalism - Roots.
Ireland has been subject to varying degrees of rule from England since the late 12th century. (See Norman Ireland). The Gaelic Irish resisted this conquest through military and other means, but were organised in small independent lordships and did not have a common political goal such as an independent Irish state. Conflict over the English presence was exacerbated by the Protestant Reformation in England, which introduced a religious element to the Tudor re-conquest of Ireland. Another central feature of future Anglo-Irish conflict was the continuing dispossession of Irish Catho ...

| | | | | Eamon de Valera: Encyclopedia II - Irish UK general election 1918 - Background In 1918 the whole of Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and was represented in the British Parliament by just over one hundred MPs. Whereas in Great Britain most elected politicians were members of either the Liberal Party or the Conservative Party, from 1882–1918 most Irish MPs were members of the Irish Parliamentary Party. The IPP strove for Home Rule in the form of internal self-government for Ireland, through a peaceful campaign of reform. This tactic did successfully bring a Home Rule Act 1914 on to ...

The Hiberno-Norman Bourkes have been in Mayo since the thirteenth century. Like many who came to Ireland with the Norman invasion, it was said of the Bourkes that they ended up "more Irish than the Irish themselves". Her family had links with many diverse political strands in Ireland. One ancestor was a leading activist in the Mayo Land League and the Irish Republican Brotherhood; an uncle, Sir Paget John Bourke, was knighted by ...

History of the Republic of Ireland - Separatism and the Anglo-Irish War.
From Union in 1801 until 6 December 1922 the whole of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1914, the UK Parliament enacted a Third Irish Home Rule Bill but suspended its effect until after what was confidently expected to be a brief Great War. In the late 1910s, after the execution of the leaders of the Easter Rising by the British government, and the perceived failure of the moderate home rule movement, mi ...

| | | | | Eamon de Valera: Encyclopedia II - History of Limerick - Viking origins The earliest provable settlement dates from 812; however, history suggests the presence of earlier settlements in the area surrounding King's Island, the island at the historical city centre. Antiquity's map-maker, Ptolemy, produced in 150 the earliest map of Ireland, showing a place called "Regia" at the same site as King's Island. History also records an important battle involving Cormac Mac Airt in 221 and a visit by St. Patrick in 434 to baptise an Eoghanacht Chief, Carthann the Fair. [Spellissy 98] The name Luimneach dates from at least 561, and probably ...
