Ireland’s Wars: The Post-Second World War Years And The Republic Of Ireland

Ireland’s Wars: The 1932 Election
The five years after the 1927 elections were not especially happy ones for Cumann na nGaedheal. With Fianna Fail now taking their seats in the Dail, the pro-Treaty party of government had a substantial opposition to deal with for the … Continue reading

Ireland’s Wars: British Pressure, A Second Split And The 1922 Election
In the month of June, the final confluence leading to the start of the Irish Civil War began. Looking back from a century removed it might seem like a somewhat strange and sudden deterioration: after all, at the start of … Continue reading

Issues (23 Days To Election)
And we’re off again. NFB will be offering comments on the election as it progresses, though maybe not in quite as much detail as last time. Just thoughts as they occur during the canvassing, the debates, and the actions especially … Continue reading

The Third Presidential Debate
So, third debate time, after the first and second. This is primarily a foreign policy debate and follows much the same rules as the first debate a few weeks ago. Romney needs something out of this. The polls are stabilising, … Continue reading

Moments In Irish Presidential History: Eamon De Valera And the 1966 Election
Eamon De Valera is the towering figure of Irish history in the 20th century. A commander of the Easter Rising, the political figure at the head of the early Dail, anti-Treaty hard-liner, Fianna Fail founder, multi-term Taoiseach, leader during World … Continue reading
