Conor Cruise O’Brien and the Northern Ireland conflict: Formulating a Revisionist Position
This article focuses narrowly on Conor Cruise O’Brien’s shaping of Irish government policy towards Northern Ireland in light of his revised assessment of the dangers he saw implicit in what he called ‘the cult of 1916’. Casting aside his former position during his career as a diplomat in the Department of External Affairs, where he had a complex role in the Anti-Partition campaign of Seán MacBride, and building at a tangent on his peculiar critiq…
Remembering 1916: The Easter Rising, the Somme and the Politics of Memory in Ireland
The year 1916 witnessed two events that would profoundly shape both politics and commemoration in Ireland over the course of the following century. Although the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme were important historical events in their own right, their significance also lay in how they came to be understood as iconic moments in the emergence of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach drawing on his…
Genealogies of Partition; History, History‐Writing and ‘the Troubles’ in Ireland
Contemporary political disputes have a long history of expression and contestation through the genre of history-writing in Ireland. The role of history writing and political science writing during the nearly 40 years of the so-called 'Troubles' has been no exception to this. Battles between competing versions of what the conflict 'is about', mediated through academic and popular texts have themselves in turn become constitutive of it. This builds…

Language, nationality and cultural identity in the Irish Free State, 1922-7: The Irish Statesman and the Catholic Bulletin reappraised
In 1967 the late F S. L. Lyons published an essay entitled ‘The minority problem in the 26 counties’, defining the minority in the Irish Free State as ‘unionist in politics and mainly protestant in religion’. Since that date the topic has received considerable scholarly attention. Indeed the tendency has been to approach the cultural development of the new state in the years after independence from the point of view of that minority. While this p…
