Dublin's O'Connell Street is lined with a number of statues that all have one thing in common they are all men. A proposal was put forward by Dublin City Council in 2018 for a statue of Constance Markievicz, but proposals have since changed to another statue. Is it time to have a female statue on O'Connell Street?Pat discussed this further with Councillor Cat O'Driscoll, Social Democrats.

Markievicz stood as a Sinn Féin candidate and secured over 63% of the vote in the constituency of Dublin St Patrick's, but refused to take the oath of allegiance to the British crown and consequently did not take her seat in the House of ...

The 1918 election was a disaster for the Liberal Party. Although Lloyd George's faction, inside the coalition government with the Conservatives, took 127 seats, the Liberals independent of the coalition only won 36. Asquith himself, their leader, even lost his seat. The Conservatives saw a huge surge in their number of MPs and could have formed a government themselves. For the time being, though, they stuck with Lloyd George, seen by many as ‘the man who won the war'. The biggest defeat was for the traditional nationalist MPs from Ireland, thrashed by Sinn Fein, backers of an independent Irish Republic. The Nationalists were reduced to 7 seats while Sinn Fein won 73. One of these was taken by the first woman to win a seat in the British parliament, the Easter Uprising veteran Constance Markievicz. However, neither she or any of the 72 other Sinn Fein MPs took their seats, instead calling a meeting of the first ever Dáil Eireann in Dublin, the first Irish parliament. Over the next year and a half or so, there would be some violent incidents in a growing Irish War of Independence. The most threatening development for the British Empire, though, was how Sinn Fein began to build an independent government, increasingly winning allegiance from the population in the south and west. The British sent increased forces, many of them ex-soldiers, but fighting only really took off from the summer of 1920. A matter we'll return to in a later episode.

In this episode, we're finding out about the Lithuanian-born solicitor who was the legal advisor to Michael Collins, Arthur Griffith and Constance Markievicz, with Dr Barry Whelan; we'll also hear about Britain's very first women's movement, with Dr Susannah Gibson; and the changing world of Irish barristers after independence, with Dr Niamh Howlin.

This 2018 episode covers Constance Markievicz, who came from a wealthy Protestant family before making a somewhat surprising transition to become a leader in the Irish Nationalist movement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yeats was friendly with the Gore Booths, and has immortalised Lissadell in his poetry.  In Memory Of Eva Gore-Booth And Con Markiewicz  The light of evening, Lissadell, Great windows open to the south, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. But a raving autumn shears Blossom from the summer's wreath; The older is condemned to death, Pardoned, drags out lonely years Conspiring among the ignorant. I know not what the younger dreams – Some vague Utopia – and she seems, When withered old and skeleton-gaunt, An image of such politics. Many a time I think to seek One or the other out and speak Of that old Georgian mansion, mix Pictures of the mind, recall That table and the talk of youth, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. Dear shadows, now you know it all, All the folly of a fight With a common wrong or right. The innocent and the beautiful Have no enemy but time; Arise and bid me strike a match And strike another till time catch; Should the conflagration climb, Run till all the sages know. We the great gazebo built, They convicted us of guilt; Bid me strike a match and blow.  DIRECTIONS: After here, you'll be making your way back to Drumcliffe on the N15.

Friday, 28 January 2022, 5 – 6:30pm An online webinar to celebrate the launch of the new online exhibition 'Seeing Ireland' which will explore one of the most important events in Irish art history: Exposition D'Art Irlandais, held at Galerie Barbazanges in Paris in Jan-February 1922. Guest speakers include H.E. Vincent Guérend, French Ambassador to Ireland, Mick O'Dea, PPRHA, Sinéad Ní Mhaonaigh, ARHA, Billy Shortall, Angela Griffith, Ciaran O'Neill. The event will also feature a short virtual tour of the 3D recreation of the original exhibition space developed by NoHo Design. This event is organised in partnership with Trinity Long Room Hub. Support is being provided by the Irish Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Decade of Centenaries programme. About the exhibition 1922 was a seminal year for Ireland and Irish identity: the modern Irish state was founded; James Joyce's Ulysses was published in Paris; and the Irish Race Congress, an international conference and accompanying Irish art exhibition that was a reckoning of Irish identity politics, was held in the French capital. As part of the decade of centenaries commemorations an ambitious series of interlinked events and exhibitions will take place in the Midwest US, Ireland, and European capitals in 2022 to reflect on the events of 100 years ago, to examine the journey Ireland and Irish identity have travelled over the past century of statehood, and to look ahead to Ireland's next century. In January, an online exhibition at the Trinity Long Room Hub organised by Prof Ciaran O'Neill and Dr Billy Shortall (School of Histories and Humanities) will interrogate one of the most important events in Irish art history: Exposition D'Art Irlandais, opened at Galerie Barbazanges in Paris in January 1922. The Exposition, associated with the World Congress, featured established and emerging talent in what would become known as the ‘Irish School of Art'. Artists as diverse as Sarah Purser, Jack Yeats, Sean Keating, John Lavery, Lily Yeats, and Constance Markievicz displayed nationalist work in an overt attempt to legitimate a postcolonial presence in the global field for Irish art and crafts. This new exhibition—an immersive experience and 3D recreation of the original exhibition space-- will recreate, remember, and question this foundational moment in Irish art history.

This week we are following the daughter of a Protestant Landowner in Western Ireland. Countess Constance Markievicz was born into the rarefied air of Victorian Nobility but had an innate sense of justice that could not be denied.Always ready to pick a side in the major issues of the day, once her mind was made up Constance was all in and would accept no compromises. Also she was pretty handy with a gun........I am sure it will all be fine.Guest Host: Matt Hare See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Celebrating CONSTANCE Ocean FM is proud to celebrate one of Sligo's most famous daughters and revolutionaries, Constance Markievicz, with the broadcast of CONSTANCE, a unique and powerful documentary drama that explores her often enigmatic and controversial life and legacy. This Hawks Well production offers a rare chance to hear Constance’s actual words and thoughts. It explores her life as artist, activist and revolutionary by combining her own prose and poetry with a magical original composition by Sligo's Michael Rooney. Written and directed by Kellie Hughes and featuring an octet of traditional Irish and classical musicians and actor Nichola McEvilly, CONSTANCE is a rich sonic experience that offers a rare insight into one of Ireland’s most iconic figures. Writer and Director, Kellie Hughes says “I found a beautiful letter to her brother Josslyn, where she tells him ‘My enemies will make a monster out of me, my friends a heroine and both will be equally wide of the truth’ . and I thought that is such a prophetic statement. She really understood how she was going to be viewed and she went for it anyway”. Almost a century on, her vision of a free Ireland with equality for all of regardless of class, gender, or religion remains an elusive but worthy aspiration. Constance Markievicz also blazed a trail in politics, becoming the first woman to be appointed as a Cabinet Minister in Ireland and indeed in all of Europe. In Ireland, fewer than twenty five women have followed in her footsteps. Listen in across the station this weekend to hear the opinions of this select group of women on Constance, life in politics and the place of women in Ireland today.

The Leinster Road home of Constance Markievicz was the de-facto headquarters of revolutionary boyscouts Na Fianna Éireann, an Irish nationalist hijacking of the Baden Powell boyscout ideals. In Unionist Rathmines, Surrey House was a centre of nationalism, Suffrage activism and socialism.

Wouldn't it be amazing to go back in time? Well now you can, kind of, thanks to a new project by Professor John Breslin from the College of Science and Engineering at NUI Galway. Through his Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts titled “Old Ireland In Colour” (@irelandincolour), he is colourising black and white historical photos from the late 19th and early 20th century in Ireland, with simply stunning results. The likes of Michael Collins, Constance Markievicz, W.B. Yeats Peig Sayers are among those featured in John's striking enhancements, along with 19th Century photos from Clare.

When American-born English socialite Nancy Astor entered the House of Commons on 1 December 1919, she became the first female MP in British history to take a seat in parliament. But although Nancy was the first woman to take her seat, she wasn't the first to be elected. That was achieved the year before by one Constance Markievicz. Born into County Sligo aristocracy, married into Polish royalty and immortalised by W.B. Yeats in poetry, Constance would at one point be condemned to death for "waging war against the King" . While detained in Holloway Prison for her part in the Easter Uprising of 1916, she ran her campaign for Parliament, and won.However, as a member of Sinn Fein, she disqualified herself by refusing to swear allegiance to the British crown. She would dedicate the rest of her life fighting for Irish independence.

A rich art student turns into the leader of a violent revolution.

It was exactly a hundred years ago that women in the UK won the right to vote: though at first it was only for property owning women over thirty. But Britain wasn't the trail blazer. Seven countries were ahead of it including two of its colonies. So what were the deciding factors? Was it the changing circumstances created by wars and the collapse of Empires? Or was it the suffragettes' sometimes violent tactics? And why did Switzerland take as long as 1971 to enfranchise women? Joining Bridget Kendall to look at the global story of how women got the vote is the Indian social scientist Nikita Sud, Jad Adams the author of “Women and the Vote”, and Lindie Naughton the biographer of the first woman elected to the British parliament Constance Markievicz.

The Dead Ladies Show is a series of entertaining and inspiring talks about women who achieved amazing things against all odds, presented live on stage in Berlin at ACUD. This podcast is based on that series. Because women's history is everyone's history. In this episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire tells us about Constance Markievicz. She was an Irish revolutionary, suffragette, and socialist, and the first woman elected to the British parliament (although she never attended). From a landowning background, she became a landscape painter and socialized with Dublin's intellectuals before joining Sinn Féin and the Daughters of Ireland, attending her first meeting in a ball-gown and tiara. Later, though, she advised women to “dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels in the bank and buy a revolver.” Markievicz fought in the 1916 Easter Rising, narrowly escaping a death sentence, and became the first woman cabinet minister in the Irish Republic.

Constance Markievicz led an amazing life - a leading figure during the Easter Rising of 1916, she was the first woman elected to Westminster though she never took her seat. Markievicz was born into a wealthy anglo-Irish family and gained her exotic surname from marriage to a Polish count. She was adventurous, flamboyant, committed to woman's rights, court-martialled and nearly shot. Nominating her is Andrea Catherwood, ex-ITN correspondent who made her first documentary for Radio 4. Alongside her in the studio is Lindie Naughton, author of Markievicz - A Most Outrageous Rebel. Matthew Parris presents, the producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.

Constance Markievicz might have been born into aristocracy and privilege (and then married a Polish aristocrat...), but she had an unexpected burning passion for the plight of the Irish working class and the cause of Irish Nationalism. And that passion led her to load herself down with as many guns as she could find and take to the streets with her Republican comrades! It also led her to British Parliament, via a prison cell...

In this week's first episode, Savannah and Jessica continue their women's history month series, start an Ireland series in celebration of St. Patrick's Day, and lose their ever-loving minds. Maybe they drank too much Jameson, maybe Jessica had too much Sudafed, who's to say? Savannah does manage to give some details of the exciting life of Constance Markievicz, known for pretending to be noble and buying short skirts and revolvers.

On Friday 14th October, President Michael D. Higgins paid a 1-day visit to London, to deliver a keynote address on the life and achievements of Eva Gore-Booth. The President’s address, entitled “The Importance of Eva Gore-Booth’s Radical Vision in the Dramatic Historical Events in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries”, was delivered at the Congress Hall in Central London. In his speech, the President sought to 'redress the oblivion of history' by reflecting on the remarkable, yet often overlooked, contributions by Eva Gore-Booth not only to the fight for Irish freedom but, together with Esther Roper, for the rights of powerless and disenfranchised sections of society in Britain. He also addressed role of Eva Gore-Booth in organising women workers in Manchester and in the textile industry, in the franchise for women movement, and her relationship to the events of 1916and her sister Constance Markievicz.

By the end of January 1914 the Lockout ended with a decisive and crushing victory for the employers. Many leave Dublin to seek work in English cities and the striking girls and women from Jacobs are worst off. Most do not get work again and those that do are not allowed back until April. Actor Ronnie McCann voices James Connollys prophetic words, Dublin is isolated, and we hear from Connollys great grandson James Connolly Heron and from Larkins great grandchildren, Jim and Aoife Breslin. Historians Emmet O Connor, Padraig Yeates, Theresa Moriarty, Ann Mathews and Diarmaid Ferriter vividly describe events while author Ruth Dudley Edwards, a biographer of Connolly assesses the leadership of Connolly, Larkin and Constance Markievicz.

The second episode of the 1913 Unfinished Business series on the centenary of the Lockout explores the role women played in the labour conflict. We speak to Dr. Ann Matthews - historian, author and now playwright - about her play 'Lockout', which runs from April 15th to 20th in the New Theatre in Temple Bar. The drama aims to bring the story of the working-class women of 1913, often peripherised in historical accounts. The podcast looks at women's roles in the Irish society of the 19th century and how this shaped their position in 1913. Fiona Dunkin interviews the president of the Women's History Association of Ireland, Dr. Mary McAuliffe, who talks about women in the Ireland of the 20th century and their role in the strike. We remember one of the most well-known figures of early twentieth century nationalism, socialism and republicanism in Ireland, Constance Markievicz, examining some of the better and lesser known roles she played in the development of the Lockout. The show rounds off with a segment from the Feminist Walking Tour recorded at Liberty Hall covering the Irish Women Workers' Union.

Constance Markievicz (nee Gore-Booth, 1868-1927), was born to the privileged Protestant upper class in the west of Ireland. She embraced suffrage and then scandal as she left the Slade School of Art in London for a bohemian life in a Parisian atelier. There she met Casimir Dunin Markievicz (1874-1932), becoming part of a local avant-garde, which had the painter and mystic, George Russell (AE) at its centre. The Markievices took a prominent role in anti-imperial debates that not only related to Constance’s home country but also Casimir’s native Poland during World War One and to the post –War Irish republican movement.
