James Larkin
James (Jim) Larkin (21 January 1876 – 30 January 1947) was an Irish trade union leader and socialist activist, born to Irish parents in Liverpool, England. He and his family later moved to a small cottage in Burren, southern County Down. Growing up in poverty, he received little formal education and began working in a variety of jobs while still a child. He became a full-time trade union organiser in 1905.
Larkin moved to Belfast in 1907 and founded the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, the Irish Labour Party, and later the Workers' Union of Ireland. Perhaps best known for his role in the 1913 Dublin Lockout, "Big Jim" continues to occupy a significant place in Dublin's collective memory.
Biography
Early years
Larkin was born on 21 January 1876 the second eldest son of Irish immigrants, James Larkin and Mary Ann McNulty, both natives of County Armagh. The impoverished Larkin family lived in the slums of Liverpool during the early years of his life. From the age of seven, he attended school in the mornings and worked in the afternoons to supplement the family income—a common arrangement in working-class families at the time. At the age of fourteen, after the death of his father, he was apprenticed to the firm his father had worked for but was dismissed after two years. He was unemployed for a time and then worked as a sailor and docker. By 1903, he was a dock foreman, and on 8 September of that year, he married Elizabeth Brown.

The Dublin Lockout
A profound industrial dispute rocked Dublin in 1913, playing into a rising tide of nationalism and shaping the unique political landscape of Ireland of the following century. In this episode Naomi and Tim tell the story of the 1913 Dublin Lockout led by firebrand trade unionist Jim Larkin. We hear from Jer O'Leary, an artist and actor who portrayed Larkin throughout his life, on what the organiser meant to ordinary Dubliners and his enduring legacy today. And we reflect on the fate of the left following independence, when it struggled for significance against the dominant forces of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Historian Dr Niamh Puirséil talks us through the difficult aftermath of the 1913 Lockout and why it contributed to Ireland's unique political divisions in the 20th century. Finally, Na...

Felix Larkin, “Cartoons and the Irish: ‘Twist a Few Tails’”
Irish historian Felix Larkin outlines the history of Irish cartoons, from Mathew Carey’s Volunteers’ Journal to Martyn Turner, and cartoons about the Irish, from Daniel O’Connell to Brexit.

While good history – like good journalism – must be nuanced, reflecting the complexity of issues and situations, good cartoons cut through the verbiage with simple truths that override complexity and get to the heart of the matter. Cartoons can provide great insight into contemporary perceptions of past events, and the arguments – and passions – engendered by those events, as well as opportunities for historians to enhance their work with engaging images.

Barry Sheppard: The Truth in the News?
Trade Wars and Editorial Cartoons with Barry Sheppard The Irish Free State experienced much change and upheaval after Fianna Fáil swept to power under Eamonn de Valera in 1932. De Valera enacted a number of populist policies which aimed to dismantle the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty and put political distance between the Free State and Britain. Among these were the withholding of land annuities, abolishing the Dáil’s Oath to the King of England, and abolishing the powers of the British government’s representative in Ireland. The issue of land annuities was to cause the most confrontation with Britain. Land annuities were the repayment of government loans granted to Irish tenant farmers to buy out their former landlords under the Irish Land Acts of the late 19th century. De Valera’s refusal to...

Robert J. Savage - Seán Lemass (Historical Association of Ireland Life and Times New Series)
Robert J. Savage, Professor of the Practice of History at Boston College, is interviewed by Elliot Brandow, Senior Reference Librarian, about his new book "Seán Lemass" (Historical Association of Ireland Life and Times New Series), published by University College Dublin Press. Seán Lemass is generally regarded as the man most responsible for the modernisation of Irish society. This book considers how Lemass evolved as a key figure in Fianna Fail governments and later to become one of the most influential leaders of twentieth-century Ireland. Professor Savage argues that by the time Lemass emerged out of the shadow of Eamon de Valera he had learned valuable lessons concerning the limitations of political power. By 1959 Lemass understood that principle sometimes had to be compromised to ens...

Constance Markievicz: Aristocrat, Artist, Suffragist, Revolutionary with Prof. Lauren Arrington
"In her there lacked a fundamental earnestness [...] she was superficial about the most serious things. Worst of all, she was, it is clear, sexually cold." So wrote Sean O'Faolain in the first biography of Constance Markievicz, which he subtitled "the average revolutionary." First published in 1934, O'Faolain's book continues to shape the popular image of Markievicz. This talk, based on my biography Revolutionary Lives, draws originally from the archives to show how four periods of her life shaped her legacy. Lauren Arrington is Professor of English at Maynooth University, where she also serves as Head of Department. She is the author or editor of five books, including Revolutionary Lives: Constance and Casimir Markievicz (Princeton University Press, 2016) and The Poets of Rapallo (forthc...

Trade Wars and Editorial Cartoons with Barry Sheppard
The Irish Free State experienced much change and upheaval after Fianna Fáil swept to power under Eamonn de Valera in 1932. De Valera enacted a number of populist policies which aimed to dismantle the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty and put political distance between the Free State and Britain. Among these were the withholding of land annuities, abolishing the Dáil’s Oath to the King of England, and abolishing the powers of the British government’s representative in Ireland. The issue of land annuities was to cause the most confrontation with Britain. Land annuities were the repayment of government loans granted to Irish tenant farmers to buy out their former landlords under the Irish Land Acts of the late 19th century.
De Valera’s refusal to repay this loan saw Britain impose a 20% tariff on trade with the Irish Free State. The Free State responded in kind by placing a similar duty on British imports. The resulting ‘Economic War’ between the Irish Free State and Britain lasted until the second half of the 1930s. The de Valera-owned Irish Press newspaper was a champion of Fianna Fáil economic policies and did much to promote the party’s agenda during the ‘Economic War’.
A key part of the newspaper’s propaganda machine were the illustrations of Press cartoonist Victor ‘Bee’ Brown. Brown captured Fianna Fáil’s economic war with Britain in a series of pithy drawings which lampooned British establishment figures, made exaggerated claims on Ireland’s position in the trade war, and promoted the goal of economic self-sufficiency. In this upbeat presentation Barry Sheppard will explore a selection of Brown’s cartoons to highlight themes which not only dominated the Anglo-Irish trade war of the 1930s, but had parallels in the recent post-Brexit trade negotiations.
Barry Sheppard is a PhD researcher in History at Queen’s University Belfast, researching transnational history and the evolution of socio-religious ideas across national borders. Barry is the presenter of ‘History Now’ on Northern Visions Television, and is a previous recipient of the Robert Dudley Edwards History Prize (2012), and the Giving Northern Ireland research bursary (2015).

Robert J. Savage, Professor of the Practice of History at Boston College, is interviewed by Elliot Brandow, Senior Reference Librarian, about his new book "Seán Lemass" (Historical Association of Ireland Life and Times New Series), published by University College Dublin Press.
Seán Lemass is generally regarded as the man most responsible for the modernisation of Irish society. This book considers how Lemass evolved as a key figure in Fianna Fail governments and later to become one of the most influential leaders of twentieth-century Ireland. Professor Savage argues that by the time Lemass emerged out of the shadow of Eamon de Valera he had learned valuable lessons concerning the limitations of political power. By 1959 Lemass understood that principle sometimes had to be compromised to ensure the maintenance of political power.
This short biography uses a wide array of resources to consider the policies he initiated during his long political career. It also addresses the relationships he developed with a number of institutions including the Government of Northern Ireland and the Catholic Church. This study considers how Lemass grappled with four critical issues during his tenure as Taoiseach. It explores how he tried to advance Ireland's moribund economy, and improve problematic relations with Northern Ireland, the British Government and the Catholic Church. What emerges is a portrait of a shrewd politician intent on moving Ireland forward as a modern, self-confident European nation.

Claire Brock is joined by Political Correspondent Harry McGee, Ruth Coppinger and James Lawless TD to discuss the dramatic resignation of Labour leader Alan Kelly.
Harry McGee accounts what he describes as an "excruciating" plinth announcement. Harry explains how he told the public the Labour party has lost confidence in Kelly's leadership. He compares the situation to Vladimir Nabokov's novel 'Invitation to a Beheading.'
Ruth Coppinger points out that the public, especially the working-class public, remember Kelly from the water charge. She believes that Labour has not recovered from being labelled "rotten" over their betrayal of working-class people.
She explains how the political landscape has changed in recent years, with the Social Democrats taking a stance Labour once did.
James Lawless tells Claire the news came as a complete shock. He recalls noticing the absence of the entire Labour party for a vote at 7:00 pm in the Chamber and trying to follow the news on social media. Claire points out that he admitted to being on social media instead of attending to his job.
James brings up the bizarre nature of the resignation as he did not get an election. He believes Kely did not "breakthrough" to the wider public as a figurehead.
Claire points out that there seems to only be one name on everyone's mind for the new leader - Ivana Bacik.

At the October 1918 Ard Fheis Sinn Féin committed itself to calling a meeting of Dáil Éireann following the General Election. Convening on the 21st of January 1919 the Dáil ratified the Irish Republic declared in 1916 and called on the Paris Peace Conference for recognition. But in county Tipperary the ambush of a consignment of explosives and the killing of two policemen escorting it would mark the beginning of the War of Independence.

A profound industrial dispute rocked Dublin in 1913, playing into a rising tide of nationalism and shaping the unique political landscape of Ireland of the following century. In this episode Naomi and Tim tell the story of the 1913 Dublin Lockout led by firebrand trade unionist Jim Larkin. We hear from Jer O'Leary, an artist and actor who portrayed Larkin throughout his life, on what the organiser meant to ordinary Dubliners and his enduring legacy today. And we reflect on the fate of the left following independence, when it struggled for significance against the dominant forces of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Historian Dr Niamh Puirséil talks us through the difficult aftermath of the 1913 Lockout and why it contributed to Ireland's unique political divisions in the 20th century. Finally, Naomi and Tim reflect on the political dynamics of the present day and why a combination of nationalism and left-wing politics is shaking up the status quo once again.

Irish historian Felix Larkin outlines the history of Irish cartoons, from Mathew Carey’s Volunteers’ Journal to Martyn Turner, and cartoons about the Irish, from Daniel O’Connell to Brexit.
Cartoons tend to be undervalued as historical sources. While good history – like good journalism – must be nuanced, reflecting the complexity of issues and situations, good cartoons cut through the verbiage with simple truths that override complexity and get to the heart of the matter. Cartoons can provide great insight into contemporary perceptions of past events, and the arguments – and passions – engendered by those events, as well as opportunities for historians to enhance their work with engaging images.
Felix M. Larkin is a former chairman of the Newspaper and Periodical History Forum of Ireland, and has published widely on the history of the press in Ireland and other topics.

Trade Wars and Editorial Cartoons with Barry Sheppard
The Irish Free State experienced much change and upheaval after Fianna Fáil swept to power under Eamonn de Valera in 1932. De Valera enacted a number of populist policies which aimed to dismantle the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty and put political distance between the Free State and Britain. Among these were the withholding of land annuities, abolishing the Dáil’s Oath to the King of England, and abolishing the powers of the British government’s representative in Ireland. The issue of land annuities was to cause the most confrontation with Britain. Land annuities were the repayment of government loans granted to Irish tenant farmers to buy out their former landlords under the Irish Land Acts of the late 19th century.
De Valera’s refusal to repay this loan saw Britain impose a 20% tariff on trade with the Irish Free State. The Free State responded in kind by placing a similar duty on British imports. The resulting ‘Economic War’ between the Irish Free State and Britain lasted until the second half of the 1930s. The de Valera-owned Irish Press newspaper was a champion of Fianna Fáil economic policies and did much to promote the party’s agenda during the ‘Economic War’.
A key part of the newspaper’s propaganda machine were the illustrations of Press cartoonist Victor ‘Bee’ Brown. Brown captured Fianna Fáil’s economic war with Britain in a series of pithy drawings which lampooned British establishment figures, made exaggerated claims on Ireland’s position in the trade war, and promoted the goal of economic self-sufficiency. In this upbeat presentation Barry Sheppard will explore a selection of Brown’s cartoons to highlight themes which not only dominated the Anglo-Irish trade war of the 1930s, but had parallels in the recent post-Brexit trade negotiations.
Barry Sheppard is a PhD researcher in History at Queen’s University Belfast, researching transnational history and the evolution of socio-religious ideas across national borders. Barry is the presenter of ‘History Now’ on Northern Visions Television, and is a previous recipient of the Robert Dudley Edwards History Prize (2012), and the Giving Northern Ireland research bursary (2015).

Robert J. Savage, Professor of the Practice of History at Boston College, is interviewed by Elliot Brandow, Senior Reference Librarian, about his new book "Seán Lemass" (Historical Association of Ireland Life and Times New Series), published by University College Dublin Press.
Seán Lemass is generally regarded as the man most responsible for the modernisation of Irish society. This book considers how Lemass evolved as a key figure in Fianna Fail governments and later to become one of the most influential leaders of twentieth-century Ireland. Professor Savage argues that by the time Lemass emerged out of the shadow of Eamon de Valera he had learned valuable lessons concerning the limitations of political power. By 1959 Lemass understood that principle sometimes had to be compromised to ensure the maintenance of political power.
This short biography uses a wide array of resources to consider the policies he initiated during his long political career. It also addresses the relationships he developed with a number of institutions including the Government of Northern Ireland and the Catholic Church. This study considers how Lemass grappled with four critical issues during his tenure as Taoiseach. It explores how he tried to advance Ireland's moribund economy, and improve problematic relations with Northern Ireland, the British Government and the Catholic Church. What emerges is a portrait of a shrewd politician intent on moving Ireland forward as a modern, self-confident European nation.

"In her there lacked a fundamental earnestness [...] she was superficial about the most serious things. Worst of all, she was, it is clear, sexually cold." So wrote Sean O'Faolain in the first biography of Constance Markievicz, which he subtitled "the average revolutionary." First published in 1934, O'Faolain's book continues to shape the popular image of Markievicz. This talk, based on my biography Revolutionary Lives, draws originally from the archives to show how four periods of her life shaped her legacy.
Lauren Arrington is Professor of English at Maynooth University, where she also serves as Head of Department. She is the author or editor of five books, including Revolutionary Lives: Constance and Casimir Markievicz (Princeton University Press, 2016) and The Poets of Rapallo (forthcoming with OUP in July 2021).

Claire Brock is joined by Political Correspondent Harry McGee, Ruth Coppinger and James Lawless TD to discuss the dramatic resignation of Labour leader Alan Kelly.
Harry McGee accounts what he describes as an "excruciating" plinth announcement. Harry explains how he told the public the Labour party has lost confidence in Kelly's leadership. He compares the situation to Vladimir Nabokov's novel 'Invitation to a Beheading.'
Ruth Coppinger points out that the public, especially the working-class public, remember Kelly from the water charge. She believes that Labour has not recovered from being labelled "rotten" over their betrayal of working-class people.
She explains how the political landscape has changed in recent years, with the Social Democrats taking a stance Labour once did.
James Lawless tells Claire the news came as a complete shock. He recalls noticing the absence of the entire Labour party for a vote at 7:00 pm in the Chamber and trying to follow the news on social media. Claire points out that he admitted to being on social media instead of attending to his job.
James brings up the bizarre nature of the resignation as he did not get an election. He believes Kely did not "breakthrough" to the wider public as a figurehead.
Claire points out that there seems to only be one name on everyone's mind for the new leader - Ivana Bacik.

James Larkin
James (Jim) Larkin (21 January 1876 – 30 January 1947) was an Irish trade union leader and socialist activist, born to Irish parents in Liverpool, England. He and his family later moved to a small cottage in Burren, southern County Down. Growing up in poverty, he received little formal education and began working in a variety of jobs while still a child. He became a full-time trade union organiser in 1905.
Larkin moved to Belfast in 1907 and founded the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, the Irish Labour Party, and later the Workers' Union of Ireland. Perhaps best known for his role in the 1913 Dublin Lockout, "Big Jim" continues to occupy a significant place in Dublin's collective memory.
Biography
Early years
Larkin was born on 21 January 1876 the second eldest son of Irish immigrants, James Larkin and Mary Ann McNulty, both natives of County Armagh. The impoverished Larkin family lived in the slums of Liverpool during the early years of his life. From the age of seven, he attended school in the mornings and worked in the afternoons to supplement the family income—a common arrangement in working-class families at the time. At the age of fourteen, after the death of his father, he was apprenticed to the firm his father had worked for but was dismissed after two years. He was unemployed for a time and then worked as a sailor and docker. By 1903, he was a dock foreman, and on 8 September of that year, he married Elizabeth Brown.

James Larkin
by: Christy MooreIn Dublin City in 1914 the boss was rich and the poor
were slaves
The women working and the children hungry then on came
Larkin like a mighty wave
The workers cringed when the boss man thundered seventy
hours was their weekly chore
They asked for little and less was granted lest getting
little they'd asked for more
Then came Larkin in 1914 a mighty man with a mighty
tongue
The voice of labour the voice of justice and he was
gifted, he was young
God sent Larkin in 1914 a labor man with a union tongue
He raised the workers and gave them courage he was
their hero and a workers son
It was in August the boss man told us no union man for
them could work
We stood by Larkin and told the boss man we'd fight or
die but we'd never shirk
Eight months we fought eight months we starved we stood
by Larkin through thick and thin
But foodless homes and the crying children, they broke
our hearts and we could not win
When Larkin left us we seemed defeated the night was
black for the working man
but on came Connolly came with new hope and counsel his
motto was we'll rise again
In 1916 in Dublin City the English army burnt our town
They shelled the buildings and shot our leaders the
harp was buried beneath the crown
They shot McDermott and Pearse and Plunkett they shot
McDonagh Ceannt and Clarke the brave
From bleak Kilmanham they took their bodies to Arbour
hill to a quicklime grave
Last of all of the seven leaders they shot down James
Connolly
The voice of labour the voice of justice gave his life
