Ruinen als Chancen und Hindernisse des nordirischen Friedensprozesses: Das Gefängnis Long Kesh/Maze: ein umstrittener Raum im Konflikttransformationsprozess
Debating Politics During Confinement: Newly Discovered Notebooks of the Sinn Féin Portlaoise Prison Cumann, 1979–1985
While hundreds of Provisional Irish republicans were imprisoned in Portlaoise Prison during the Northern Ireland conflict, their part in the conflict remains largely neglected by researchers. During an attempt to politicise these Provisional IRA prisoners, a cumann (local branch) was formed at a meeting of republicans in Portlaoise in January 1979. In the summer of 1986, four miontuairiscí (minute books) of this cumann were removed from the priso…
The Fight for Political Status in Portlaoise Prison, 1973–7: Prologue to the H-Blocks Struggle
Between 1973 and 1977, about 100 Provisional republican prisoners staged a series of violent prison protests and hunger strikes in the Republic of Ireland’s high-security prison, Portlaoise. Research on political imprisonment during the Northern Ireland conflict overwhelmingly focuses on the H-Blocks struggle. The Portlaoise Prison protests, thus, remain an under-researched area, largely ignored by academics, commentators, and the public. This ar…
Is Austria a Catholic Country?”: Trust and Intersubjectivity in Postconflict Northern Ireland
Media pundits, politicians, and academic observers have frequently described the Northern Irish Troubles as a religious conflict, a description the Irish republican actors of the conflict reject. In 2009 and 2011, I interviewed twenty-five former Irish republican women activists. Other scholars have argued that the emotions, feelings, and subjective experiences of the researcher can have several roles and functions and, thus, shape our research i…
Teenagers and young adults in dissident Irish republicanism: A case study of Na Fianna Éireann in Dublin
On 18 April 2019, by-stander Lyra McKee was killed while a group of teenagers and young men rioted against the PSNI in the Northern Irish city of Derry. During these riots, two masked gunmen of the “New IRA” fired up to ten shots at three PSNI Land Rovers. The recruitment of teenagers into the ranks of dissident Irish republicans has raised concern that a new generation of young adults born after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement is prepar…
Sport, Memory, and Nostalgia: The Lives of Irish Republicans in Internment Camps and Prisons, 1971–2000
While there exists a wide range of historical and social science literature on political prisoners during the Northern Ireland conflict between 1969 and 1998, little attention has been paid to the prison life of the individual internees and prisoners. Sport, in particular, played a very important part in the lives of both republican and loyalist prisoners. Historians have long been preoccupied with the motivations and inner lives of individuals, …
Women’s agency and political violence: Irish Republican women and the formation of the Provisional IRA, 1967–70
The split of Sinn Féin and the IRA in 1969 established a lasting schism within Irish Republicanism. Historians tend to narrate the split as the result of an intense struggle between two opposing factions led by men. However, women performed an important role in the Republican movement throughout the twentieth century. This article analyses how women reacted to the factional struggle in the movement between 1967 and 1970. Contrary to the general p…
Cumann na mBan & Women in Irish Republican Paramilitary Organisations, 1969-1986
1. Introduction The year 2014 marked the centenary of the founding Cumann na mBan, the Irish Republican women’s organisation. On April 5, 1914, over 100 women attended a meeting of what was to become Cumann na mBan in Wynn’s Hotel, Dublin, presided over by Agnes O’Farrelly. The formation of a Republican women’s organisation succeeded the founding
