Notions of culture, identity and tradition have a well-established place in Irish political debate. The emergence of movements of cultural defence-the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the Gaelic League and the Irish-Ireland movement-were an important part of the ‘new nationalism’ of the years before World War I. The fostering of a distinctive cultural identity was duly enshrined as a central objective of the new state that was created following the upheavals of 1916-23. In contemporary Northern Ireland, culture remains a live political issue. Irish-language street names, airtime for Irish-language broadcasting, and state funding for Irish-language schools have been visible symbols of nationalist political advance, resisted as such by unionist opponents
