Commemorating the Centenary of the Deaths of Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins with Historian Tom Toomey. Recorded and produced for West Limerick 102FM by Shirley O'Regan
Dr. Colum Kenny and Shane Gray, grandson of Arthur Griffith, assess his contribution to the state on the centenary of his death.
Cothromaíocht sa gcóras cánach & céad bliain ó bhásaigh Arthur Griffith.
Today marks the centenary of the the death of Arthur Griffith who led the Irish delegation to the treaty negotiations in London in 1921. His contribution to the Anglo-Irish Treaty led to the creation of the Irish Free State. Independent TD for Waterford, Matt Shanahan, spoke with the programme.
So said Michael Collins, yet despite his central role in the development of the Irish nationalism from which the Irish State would emerge, Arthur Griffith has had to settle for a side-line role in the national historical memory. How fair or accurate are accusations of anti-Semitism, misogyny or ‘selling the pass' at the Treaty negotiations? How stands his reputation today a century on from his untimely death, aged 51, on 12 August 1922? To address these and related questions listen to History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with Frank Barry, Brian Hanley, Colum Kenny and Margaret Ward.

After chatting to a whole heap of listeners I've decided to bite the bullet and start a Patreon page. Though I'm dubious of podcasts constantly bugging listeners asking for money this will hopefully be a way to reward my most dedicated listeners while funding bigger and better things for the podcast. It'll be our own secret organisation — like the IRB but a little less violent. The first piece of bonus content is an interview with Professor Colum Kenny. We chatted all things Arthur Griffith and I have I loved every minute of the conversation. I've included a teaser of the interview here but you can get the full thing at my new Patreon page.I hope you enjoy and please get in touch if you have any feedback!www.patreon.com/thehistoryofireland See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Of the five plenipotentiaries who signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty on 6 December 1921 most attention has been focused on the motivations and actions of Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith—and on ‘the plenipotentiary who wasn't', Eamon de Valera. But what about the other three—Eamon Duggan, George Gavan Duffy and Robert Barton, particularly the latter, the only one who later took an anti-Treaty position. To find out more about this republican Protestant landlord from Wicklow join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with John Dorney, Joan Kavanagh, Chris Lawlor, and Catherine Wright.

Listen to author Colum Kenny in conversation with History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, as he discusses the story of a remarkable man's efforts to help starving people during the Irish Great Famine. He reveals their terrible experiences inside and outside one of the national ‘workhouses' and throws new light on the relationship between class, religion and poverty in Ireland before independence. John O'Sullivan (1807-1874) was an independent-minded priest who clashed with bishops and landlords. He kept journals that have not been published. The author mines these and other sources, including eyewitness accounts, UK archives and Kerry's workhouse minutes, for new insights into aspects of Irish society, including politics, proselytism and the status of women. Dr Colum Kenny BL is Professor Emeritus, Dublin City University, a journalist and an honorary bencher of King's Inns. Awarded the Irish Legal History Society's Gold Medal, his books include histories of King's Inns, an account of Irish emigration to the USA and, most recently, a biography of Arthur Griffith.

According to British Prime Minister David Lloyd George Irish nationalists were ‘natural propagandists'. How accurate was this description? How did they breach what Arthur Griffith called the ‘paper wall' of British news coverage? How important was the new medium of film? And what was the role of women as both the disseminators and objects of propaganda?

In our last episode, we discussed people from James Joyce’s life who influenced the creation of Leopold Bloom. However, we left one question unanswered - why were none of these men from Dublin? Didn’t Joyce know any Jewish people in Dublin? Vincent Altman O’Connor’s research into this very question and the biography of his grandfather Albert Altman may very well be the answer to this riddle.Topics discussed in this episode include Glasnevin’s many Joycean connections, the story of Albert Altman as a successful salt merchant and politician, Altman’s connection to the Invincibles, how Altman became an Irish Nationalist, the very many details from Altman family history that appear in Ulysses, a refutation of idea that Joyce didn’t know any Jewish people in Dublin, why Joyce may have had to conceal the identity of the “real” Leopold Bloom, why it is worth exploring real world parallels to the characters of Ulysses, Joyce as a political writer, the possibility that “Leopold Bloom” really did give Arthur Griffith the idea for Sinn Fein, Joycean misconceptions about Arthur Griffith, and coded psychotropographic allusions.Sweny's Patreon helps keep this marvelous Dublin landmark alive.

As the founder of Sinn Fin and a leading architect of Irish independence, Arthur Griffith ranks as one of the founding fathers of modern Ireland. In his book Arthur Griffith (Merrion Press, 2015), Owen McGee offers a biography of the writer and patriot framed within the context of the Irish nationalist movement. The son of a Dublin printer, Griffith was active in nationalist politics at an early age. His own experience in publishing led Griffith to start his own review journals, which served as a platform for his ideas and which were read by many of the leading writers and activists in Ireland. The First World War and the Rising that followed brought Griffith's vision of parliamentary abstention into the mainstream of Irish politics, with Griffith and the other Sinn Fin victors in the general election that followed the war refusing to take their seats in Parliament and instead forming their own representative body, the Dil ireann. A leader of the nascent Irish government, Griffith served in a number of key positions and was the chairman of the Irish delegation that negotiated the controversial Anglo-Irish Treaty a treaty that partitioned the island ad plunged the new nation into a civil war that Griffith's untimely death left for others to resolve.

In this third episode of 1916, we examine the cultural and linguistic influences that were so critical in shaping and moulding a sense of Irish identity before the Rising took place. We also trace the development of crucial figures like Arthur Griffith, Douglas Hyde It was Hyde who responsible for the title of this episode when he claimed that, following the establishment of the Gaelic League, the GAA and numerous dramatic institutions, Ireland no longer a poor old woman, but a beautiful young maiden, who had not only started to 'move and play, she has begun to sing'. Ireland certainly was singing by the turn of the century, and as its political parties reunified, political nationalism seemed destined for a revival at the same time. Just at this moment though, the Fenians lurked in the background, preparing the next generation of rebels for the next phase in Ireland's history.

As part of a series of features to mark the centenary of the 1916 Rising, one of the pivotal political moments in modern Irish history, we look to Brighton itself for a taste of Irish history. Chairperson of the Brighton Irish organisation, Ty Galvin's great uncle Tadhg Barry was a founder member of Sein Fein with Arthur Griffith in 1907 and was under arms in the 1916 Rising itself. He was also the first secretary of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union Cork branch at its foundation and brought James Connelly to Cork on two occations. When Connelly was executed after the rising Tadhg Barry took up his mantle and between then and 1921, membership of the union went up from 5000 to over 100,000. Ty Galvin, now in his 70s and living in Brighton, brings you a glimpse of the Tadhg Barry story.
