Lecture 146: The legacy of the Irish Parliamentary Party by Martin O'Donoghue
The Legacy of the Irish Parliamentary Party in Independent Ireland, 1922-1949 provides the first detailed analysis of the influence of former Party members and methods, and the place of its leaders in public memory. Taking the Party’s dramatic fall in 1918 as a starting point rather than a conclusion, this book adopts a new approach. It explores how former Irish Party followers reacted to the changed circumstances of independent Ireland and presents the first statistical
analysis of the Irish Party heritage of each political party since 1922. The book also asks how the Party was remembered in a state founded on the sacrifice of the Easter Rising. This detailed study therefore situates the home rule legacy within the politics of independent Ireland and sheds new light on the way individuals...

Minister for Disabilities acknowledges that Cavan-Monaghan is an anomaly for Respite Services
The Minister with responsibility for Disabilities, Anne Rabbitte TD, has acknowledged that ‘Cavan-Monaghan is quite an anomaly’ in respect of Children’s respite services.
The Minister was responding to Sinn Féin TD, Matt Carthy, who raised the matter in a Dáil topical issues debate on 15th February 2023. Deputy Carthy told the Minister of a family in his constituency who are going through turmoil but cannot access respite for their child with significant needs. In other counties the child would have respite because of different criteria applied.
Deputy Carthy also said that there needs to be full respite services for Children with Disabilities in both counties Cavan and Monaghan. Currently, there are no services whatsoever in County Monaghan while the service in County Cavan operate...

Cavan Monaghan Children being discriminated on Disability Respite services
Families of Children with Disabilities in Counties Monaghan and Cavan face discrimination when they seek respite services; Sinn Féin TD, Matt Carthy, has said.
Deputy Carthy told the Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee that children living in other counties, in the exact same circumstances, receive respite services that are denied to those living in his constituency. This is because of the different criteria applied in different counties by the HSE.
The issue was raised directly with senior HSE at Thursday’s meeting of PAC.
Deputy Carthy said:
“Concerning disability services, particularly respite services, there are anomalies in different areas and even within CHOs, which result in discrimination against some children and their families based on where they live.
I have been dealing with ...

Counties of Ireland
The counties of Ireland (Irish: contaetha na hÉireann; Ulster-Scots: coonties o Airlann) are sub-national divisions that have been, and in some cases continue to be, used to geographically demarcate areas of local government. These land divisions were formed following the Norman invasion of Ireland in imitation of the counties then in use as units of local government in the Kingdom of England. The older term "shire" was historically equivalent to "county". The principal function of the county was to impose royal control in the areas of taxation, security and the administration of justice at the local level. Cambro-Norman control was initially limited to the south-eastern parts of Ireland so a further four centuries were to elapse before the entire island was shired. At the same time, the n...

The Legacy of the Irish Parliamentary Party in Independent Ireland, 1922-1949 provides the first detailed analysis of the influence of former Party members and methods, and the place of its leaders in public memory. Taking the Party’s dramatic fall in 1918 as a starting point rather than a conclusion, this book adopts a new approach. It explores how former Irish Party followers reacted to the changed circumstances of independent Ireland and presents the first statistical
analysis of the Irish Party heritage of each political party since 1922. The book also asks how the Party was remembered in a state founded on the sacrifice of the Easter Rising. This detailed study therefore situates the home rule legacy within the politics of independent Ireland and sheds new light on the way individuals such as Charles Stewart Parnell, John Redmond and Michael
Davitt were remembered.
In this lecture, Martin O’Donoghue explores the attitudes of former Irish Party politicians to the Irish Free State, assessing how they accommodated themselves to the new state, the political
ideas they expressed, and how they analysed the relationship with Britain and the nature of Irish sovereignty.

Families of Children with Disabilities in Counties Monaghan and Cavan face discrimination when they seek respite services; Sinn Féin TD, Matt Carthy, has said.
Deputy Carthy told the Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee that children living in other counties, in the exact same circumstances, receive respite services that are denied to those living in his constituency. This is because of the different criteria applied in different counties by the HSE.
The issue was raised directly with senior HSE at Thursday’s meeting of PAC.
Deputy Carthy said:
“Concerning disability services, particularly respite services, there are anomalies in different areas and even within CHOs, which result in discrimination against some children and their families based on where they live.
I have been dealing with a number of people in Cavan-Monaghan who are trying to secure respite care for their children. One horrendous case involves a family that is going through hell not just because of the child's needs and disabilities and the family's general need for respite care but also because other members of the family are seriously ill and the pressure is crazy. The difficulty is that in Cavan-Monaghan, the HSE has a criteria statement of purpose for respite care that is specific.
“A child must have a diagnosis of a moderate or severe intellectual disability to be even considered.
“If this child lived in counties Louth, Meath, Sligo or Leitrim, they would have access to respite care, or at least an entitlement to it. For example, in Sligo and Leitrim – according to a HSE response to my parliamentary questions - the eligibility for a child to access respite care is that the child is known to the children's disability network team (CDNT), that direct approval has been made by the children's referral committee and that the HSE respite co-ordinator complete a determination of needs assessment.
“In Louth or Meath, a committee is in place that bases its decision on the following rationale: children who access services in their respective CDNT, children in care of the Child and Family Agency, children who live with families where there are multiple instances of disability, children who present with significant behavioural challenges, which is very important, or children who have a significant physical disability and require a high support level of needs.
“But, for Cavan-Monaghan, there is a strict definition of moderate to severe intellectual disability. A child could have multiple reasons for requiring respite that are taken into consideration in the criteria in the two other areas I mention, but in Cavan-Monaghan they are completely overlooked and ignored.
“How much longer are we going to stand over a situation where a child I represent is discriminated against simply because they happen not to live in a different county? Will it be ensured that there will be framework for all areas in order that there can be some level of discretion and compassion to address cases such as the one I mentioned?”
HSE response
Responding, Ms Yvonne O'Neill the national director, community operations in the HSE stated that “We are looking at a standardised approach to respite services on a population basis. I think the child being known to the team is the critical factor rather than the diagnosis.
“I was not aware of the piece on Cavan-Monaghan, so I will have to revert on that. The wider issue of respite services is part of the progressing disability services plan overall. We have said some of the challenges in respite have related to the complexity of cases, so we have had to prioritise the available respite. In trying to enhance the available respite, part of that has been constrained by the availability of accommodation, housing and the market more generally. Respite is one of the key things that we want standardised.”
No respite service in County Monaghan
Deputy Carthy reported that there are no respite services at all in County Monaghan, for example, while the service in County Cavan operates for children only every second week.
“It is not much use expanding the services if the criteria are denying access to the children who need them.
“Time is of the essence. The family I am talking about have been let down on so many fronts, not all within the HSE given the Department of Education and others have some responsibility. This is one area that should be an easy fix to give the families some breathing space to get through the turmoil they are going through, and they are being denied by the criteria that are in place. I welcome the fact it is being looked at but I urge the HSE to ensure it happens quickly”.
The HSE have agreed to return to Deputy Carthy who has confirmed that he intends to pursue this matter directly with government also until the issue has been resolved. “I will not tolerate a situation whereby children with disabilities in Cavan Monaghan, and their families, are being discriminated against”.

The counties of Ireland (Irish: contaetha na hÉireann; Ulster-Scots: coonties o Airlann) are sub-national divisions that have been, and in some cases continue to be, used to geographically demarcate areas of local government. These land divisions were formed following the Norman invasion of Ireland in imitation of the counties then in use as units of local government in the Kingdom of England. The older term "shire" was historically equivalent to "county". The principal function of the county was to impose royal control in the areas of taxation, security and the administration of justice at the local level. Cambro-Norman control was initially limited to the south-eastern parts of Ireland so a further four centuries were to elapse before the entire island was shired. At the same time, the now obsolete concept of county corporate elevated a small number of towns and cities to a status which was deemed to be no less important than the existing counties in which they lay. This double control mechanism of 32 counties plus 10 counties corporate remained unchanged for a little over two centuries until the early 19th century, since when counties have been adapted and in some cases divided by legislation to meet new administrative and political requirements.
The powers exercised by the Cambro-Norman barons and the Old English nobility waned over time. New offices of political control came to be established at a county level. In the Republic of Ireland, some counties have been split resulting in the creation of new counties. Along with certain defined cities, counties still form the basis for the demarcation of areas of local government in the Republic of Ireland. Currently, there are 26 county level, 3 city level and 2 city and county entities – the modern equivalent of counties corporate – that are used to demarcate areas of local government in the Republic.

It is 44 years since the Dublin Monaghan bombings. Niamh Smyth, TD pays tribute the Justice for the Forgotten group and calls on the British government to release the files following three unanimous Dáil motions passed in Dáil Eireann. We pay tribute to the 34 who lost their lives that day and will continue the fight to support the Justice for the Forgotten group in that campaign to have Justice, Truth and Accountability.
