Cottage Publications, 2009 Book. New. Soft cover. As anyone who has studied the Home Rule Crisis in the opening decades of the 20th century will be able to tell you, tens of thousands of guns were smuggled into Ireland to arm both the Irish Volunteers and the Ulster Volunteers. Some may even be able to tell you the name of the man who masterminded the gun-running in Ulster - Fred Crawford. But how many can tell you what he was really like? One who can is Keith Haines who, in his new book Fred Crawford, Carson's Gunrunner, throws new light on this complex man. Fred Crawford claimed that he was born an Irishman and died an Ulsterman. He was a God-fearing Christian who believed in Divine retribution yet masterminded the largest illegal shipment of arms in the twentieth century. He was a founding member of the Ulster Volunteers who protected his Catholic workers during the Troubles of the 1920s. Keith Haines has used private and public records to paint a fascinating portrait of a complex and… Read More

Four Courts Press Ltd, 2023 Book. Good. Hardcover. Workers, Politics and Labour Relations in Independent Ireland assesses the position of workers, trade unionism and labour relations from the foundation of the Irish Free State to the establishment of the Labour Court under the Industrial Relations Act 1946. This is the first comprehensive examination of labour relations, in the context of political, social, and economic developments during the early decades of Irish independence. Based on rigorous and extensive research of varied and vast material in British and Irish archives, this book is constructed around three central themes that influenced the development of labour relations in Ireland: the impact of the Civil War, the extent and impact of unemployment, and the challenges for trade unionism in the formative decades of independent Ireland. It provides a unique, stimulating, and thought-provoking account of how successive governments and the trade union movement engaged with one another and… Read More

Four Courts Press Ltd, 2022 Book. Very Good. Soft cover. A little wear to the edge of the card cover. By any measure, Cathal Brugha's life was extraordinary: a member of the Gaelic League, Irish Republican Brotherhood and Irish Volunteers; a celebrated survivor of the 1916 Rising, despite multiple gunshot wounds; a crucial figure in the post-Rising reorganization of the Volunteers and Sinn Féin; speaker at the first sitting of Dáil Éireann and president pro tempore; minister for defence in the underground government during the War of Independence; passionate and acerbic opponent of the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921; a reluctant participant in the Irish civil war, having tried to prevent it; and that conflict's first high profile fatality in July 1922. Based on exhaustive research, this book challenges the often simplistic and reductive depiction of Brugha by providing a nuanced and multi-layered reappraisal of him. It chronicles his public and private life and the influences… Read More

Wordwell, 2014 Book. New. Soft cover. Henry O'Neill is best known as an artist, archaeologist, publisher and polemicist as seen through his various books - The Sculptured Crosses of Ancient Ireland, Ireland for the Irish and The Round Towers of Ireland (Co. Dublin only). But they give a mere inkling of the impressive compendium of work that O'Neill produced throughout a long and active career spanning forty years and more. We find out a lot more through the sketch-books of his that survive, and realise what an incredible amount of travelling and sketching he did through his interest in castles or tower-houses, though he also covered a wide variety of other monuments from prehistoric times almost up to his own day. These sketch-books and note-books have fortunately been preserved in Glenstal Abbey. O'Neill must - along with Petrie, G.V. Du Noyer and W.F. Wakeman - be ranked very highly among Irish antiquarian artists of the late Georgian and Victorian periods, hence the need to restore his… Read More

Clachan Publishing, 2020 Book. New. Soft cover. The History of The Town And County Of The Town of Galway by James Hardiman (1782-1855) is the history of the city and county of Galway in the west of Ireland from the earliest times until the early 19th century and is considered by historians to be a definitive work. This edition of James Hardiman's (1782-1855) 'History of the Town and County of Galway' commemorates the bicentenary of its original publication in 1820. Hardiman's formative years were spent in Galway. He developed his interest in the history of the town through his work in the Public Records Office in Dublin . In his preface he states that his work enabled him "to investigate with greater accuracy the history and antiquities of this ancient and respectable town". The book lists civic office holders and gives accounts of the county's ecclesiastical foundations, charities and schools. His description of early nineteenth century Galway has proved to be of… Read More
