Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - St Patrick's College Maynooth - History

The college was established in 1795, by act of the Parliament of Ireland, and the building work was paid for by the British Government, partly to discourage the Catholic Church from endorsing Irish separatism (which they then condemned vociferously in the Irish Rebellion of 1798); parliament continued to give it an annual grant until the Irish Church Disestablishment Act became law. The land was donated by the Duke of Leinster. In 1876 the college became a constituent college of the Catholic University of Ireland, and later offered Ro ...

Irish Republicanism - The Irish Free State. Main articles: Anglo-Irish War and Anglo-Irish Treaty Though many across the country were unhappy with the Anglo-Irish Treaty (since, during the Anglo-Irish war, the IRA had fought for independence for all Ireland and for a republic, not a partitioned dominion under the British crown), most republicans were satisfied that the Treaty was the best that could be achieved at the time. However, a substantial minority ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Irish nationalism - History

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 ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Daniel O'Connell - Campaigning for Catholic Emancipation

He returned to politics in the 1810s, campaigning for Catholic Emancipation, that is, the repeal of all anti-Catholic legislation enforced in Ireland. As part of his campaign, he sought and won election to the United Kingdom House of Commons in 1828, even though as a Roman Catholic, he was ineligible for membership because of his refusal to take an oath to the King as head of the Church of England. His election and subsequent re-election in 1829, forced the government of the Duke of Wellington in 1829 to repeal the prohibitions and grant emancipation, which also liberated not just Catholics but ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Irish Newfoundlanders - History

The Irish migrations to Newfoundland, and the associated provisions trade, represent the oldest and most enduring connections between Ireland and North America. As early as 1536, the ship Mighel (Michael) of Kinsale is recorded returning to her home port in County Cork with consignments of Newfoundland fish and cod liver oil. A further hint of what one scholar has termed a diaspora of Irish fishermen dates from 1608, when Patrick Brannock, a Waterford mariner, was reported to sail yearly to Newfoundland. Beginning around 1670, and particularly between 1750 and 1830, Newfoun ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Easter Rising - The Rising

The plan, largely devised by Plunkett (and apparently very similar to a plan worked out independently by Connolly), was to seize strategic buildings throughout Dublin in order to cordon off the city, and resist the inevitable attack by the British army. If successful, the plan would have left the rebels holding a compact area of central Dublin, roughly bounded by the canals and the circular roads. However, this would have required more men than the 1250 or so who were actually mobilized. As a result, the rebels left several key points within ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: 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 ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Ulster-Scots - American Presidents of Ulster Scots Descent

One-third of all US Presidents had their ancestral origins in the northern province of Ireland (Ulster) During his two visits to Ulster, President Bill Clinton spoke proudly of his ancestral links with the province and of the remarkable fact that a third of all US Presidents had their roots in Ulster. President Clinton, whose connection is through his Blythe and Ayer ancestors, is one of at least 14 Chief Executives who are descended from the 250,000 immigrants from the n ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Ballyclare - The May Fair

Ballyclare May Fair occurs on a Tuesday in May every year, and is part of a week of festivities. The tradition stems from a grant by King George II to hold two yearly fairs, although only the May Fair now survives. The fair began as a local horse fair, but representatives of cavalry regiments came from all over Europe came to buy as the reputation of the fair spread. The fair's heyday ended with the First World War, b ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - British Empire - Colonization

In 1583 Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed the island of Newfoundland as England's for Elizabeth I, reinforcing John Cabot's prior claim to the island in 1497, for Henry VII, as England's first overseas colony. Gilbert's shipwreck prevented ensuing settlement in Newfoundland, other than the seasonal cod fishermen who had frequented the island since 1497. However, the Jamestown colonists, led by Captain John Smith, overcame the severe privations of the winter in 1607 to found England's first permanent overseas settlement. The empire thus took shape ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Robert Stewart Viscount Castlereagh - Early Career and Ireland

In 1790, Stewart took the seat of County Down and entered the Irish House of Commons as a Whig on a platform supporting electoral reform and Catholic emancipation. In 1794, he won the English seat of Tregony on a similar platform. In 1795, he crossed the floor to join the Tories, but his initial principles of reform and emancipation always held a place in his political thought. By 1797, he had risen to the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland. In this capacity, he played a key role in quashing the Irish Rebellion of 1798. In 1800, he b ...

After serving in various positions in the Pitt and Addington governments, Castlereagh became Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in the Duke of Portland's administration in 1807. In that role he became involved in disputes with Foreign Secretary George Canning over the failure of the Walcheren Expedition, and the two fought a duel late in 1809. This forced both of their resignations from the government. Three years later, in 1812, Castlereagh returned to the government, this time as Foreign Secretary, a role in which he served ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Irish nationalism - Present

In Northern Ireland today, nationalist is used to refer either to the Catholic population in general or the supporters of the moderate Social Democratic and Labour Party led by Mark Durkan, to distinguish them from Sinn Féin voters, known as Irish republicans. Often the term republican is applied to those who advocate the complete independence of Ireland from Great Britain and are prepared to use force to achieve it. The nationalist is often used to refer to a more moderate political tradition, which favours an independ ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - British Empire - Decolonisation and Decline

In the 1850s, the British Empire was challenged by the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In the 1880s, the British Empire again faced a challenge in the Sudan when the Mahdi attacked the British Army, killing General Gordon. The rise of anti-colonial nationalist movements in the subject territories and the changing economic situation of the world in the first half of the 20th century challenged an imperial power now increasingly preoccupied with issues nearer home. The Empire's end began with the onset of the Second World War, when a deal was re ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Flight of the Wild Geese - French service

From the mid 17th century or so, France overtook Spain as the destination for Catholic Irishmen seeking a military career. the principal reason for this was that France was an ascendant power, rapidly expanding its armed forces, whereas Spain was a power in decline. However, the crucial turning point came during the Williamite war in Ireland (1698-91), when Louis XIV gave military and financial aid to the Irish Jacobites. In return for 6000 French troops, Louis demanded 6000 Irish recruits for use in the Nine Years War against the Dutch. The ...

Irish Rebellion of 1798: Encyclopedia II - Rathfarnham - The Battle of Rathmines

In July 1649, Ormonde marched his coalition forces of 11,000 men to the outskirts of Dublin, to take the city from its Parliamentary garrison, which had landed there in 1647. Ormonde took Rathfarnham Castle and camped at Palmerstown park in Rathgar, about 5 km south of the city. The area from Ormonde’s camp to the city of Dublin is now a heavily urbanised area, but in 1649, it was open countryside. Ormonde began inching his forces closer to Dublin by taking the villages around its perimeter and to this end, sent a detachment of troops to o ...
