The Irish Nation LivesThe Burning of the Custom House | May 1921De Valera’s return from the United States saw a disagreement over the conduct of the War of Independence. He believed that the ambushes and assassinations were mere “pinpricks” and that to bring the British to the negotiating table they would need large propaganda spectacles. Months of planning eventually led to the attack on the Custom House; seen by some as the blow that broke the British military and by others as a disaster which almost destroyed the IRA.

Mirt, who leads an organisation stretching from Latin America to Australia… the long way round. Acknowledging that he is an “insecure over-achiever”, Ramon talks about his privileged position where he is conscious of, and motivated by, his ability to touch people´s lives. Looking back at his own career, it took him time to recognise that it´s much more about the journey than about hitting the career milestones. He talks about the importance to take time out for reflection on who you are and who you want to be, and crucially why you...

Mark talks about his own personal experience transitioning as a first-time leader when he was appointed as Managing Partner. His own succession planning was best in class, helped by the fact that his appointment was agreed 1 year in advance. The challenge was how to rebadge himself… and he has managed that by relying less on instinct and by becoming more reflective and strate...

In command of the Home Forces during the 1916 Rising, he would support the executions carried out by Sir John Maxwell and later as Lord Lieutenant he would use largely unsuccessful coercive measures, first in an attempt to force through conscription and later to combat the IRA.

In this time they also allowed the party to stagnate and had become overconfident that their record in government would secure reelection in 1932; instead de Valera’s Fianna Fáil took office and they increased their grip on power in 1933. Driven by fear and a desire to return to government, Cumann na nGaedheal merged with the smaller National Centre Party in 1933 to form Fine Gael.

The Irish Nation LivesThe Rise of Fianna Fáil | 1926 - 1933The Irish Civil War left a bitter legacy which lasted long after the conflict ended. In 1927 Kevin O’Higgins, the Minister for Justice who had signed 77 death warrants during the Civil War, was murdered on his way to Sunday mass. While it was a terrible blow for the government, they also saw it as an opportunity to put pressure on their Anti-Treaty opponents, Fianna Fáil. Instead, their actions would bring Éamon de Valera to power and set the stage for his constitutional conflict with Britain which would all but guarantee Ireland’s neutral stance during World War 2.

He served as President of Dáil Éireann until Éamon de Valera was released from prison and as Minister for Defense he refused to take a salary for what he considered to be his civic duty. Most well known for his bitter denunciation of Micheal Collins during the Treaty debates, Brugha was a complex figure who had a major influence on the Irish Revolution

They had been recruited to reinforce the ranks of the Royal Irish Constabulary and take on the Irish Republican Army. Their strange mix of military and police clothing was the result of a uniform shortage and the bemused Irish people quickly nicknamed them the Black and Tans. Sent to Ireland to restore law and order, they would some become famous throughout the world for their brutality and violence.

The Irish Nation LivesIrish Republican Army swears oath to Dáil Éireann | August 1919In August 1919 Cathal Brugha sought to formalise the relationship between the government and the Irish Volunteers by having them swear and oath of allegiance to Dáil Éireann. Brugha might also have been trying to out maneuver the Irish Republican Brotherhood who were recruiting Irish Volunteer officers with an aim to influencing the organisations course of action in the years ahead. The oath would have little impact on either the IRB or the government’s control of the army but it would cause the Irish Volunteers to adopt the title of the Irish Republican Army.
