Ireland's Hope: The "peculiar theories" of James Fintan Lalor (Part 3)

On Sunday September 19th 1847 a public meeting took place on the Fair Green in the village of Holycross, Co. Tipperary. The meeting was organised by farmer-turned-journalist, James Fintan Lalor, who lived near Abbeyleix in Queen’s County. On Saturday September 19th 2020, the 173rd anniversary of that fateful meeting, "Ireland's Hope", James P. Bruce's new study of James Fintan Lalor, was launched in Holycross. A general discussion followed addresses by the two main speakers. A contribution from the floor sparked a debate about Lalor's relevance to the Ireland of 2020. The ensuing exchanges were lively - and occasionally heated. (I apologise for a technical fault that interrupted the recording at the 11-minute mark. I hope this does not mar your enjoyment of what turned out to be an interesting discussion.)

The Emergency

In this special edition of Talk About Ireland I examine life in Ireland between 1939 and 1945, the period known as the Emergency. I am joined by local historian, James Scannell, to help me delve into the legislative and social dimensions of the Emergency. I also draw upon the following scholarly resources: T. Ryle Dwyer, Eamon de Valera (Dublin, 1991). Brian Girvin, The Emergency: neutral Ireland, 1939-45 (London, 2006). Helen Litton, The World War II years: the Irish Emergency: an illustrated history (Dublin, 2001). Clair Wills, That neutral island: a cultural history of Ireland during the Second World War (London, 2007). Ian S. Wood, Ireland during the Second World War (London, 2002).
