Name: "Godless Colleges" And Mixed Education In Ireland Subtitle: Author: Editor: Clifford, Angela Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 1992 ISBN: 0 85034 053 5 Contents: Thomas Wyse, who entered Parliament as a result of the 1829 Catholic Emancipation which he helped to bring about, deserves to be better known. He was responsible for the form in which National Education was established: he desired that primary school children of all denominations should be educated together, in order to bridge the cultural divide in Ireland. And, indeed, National Education remained multi-denominational for many decades after its establishment in 1831. Wyse also conceived the project of non-sectarian academical education, and it was his ideas which stimulated Peel to propose the establishment and generous endowment of three Irish non-denominational Colleges in 1845. At these, Religious Education was to be separate from secular instruction, and its teachers were to be privately funded. The project ran into the fierce opposition of Daniel O'Connell and his son, John. The Catholic Church in Ireland was then in transition from the Gallicanism of Archbishop Murray to the Ultramontanism of Rev. Paul Cullen, still in Rome. The Ultramontanists disliked mixed National Education and were determined not to see the principle extended to higher education. This view found a vigorous and able lay expression in the O'Connells. In the Debates of the Repeal Association Daniel and John opposed what they called "Godless Colleges" and demanded state endowment of separate Colleges for Catholics and Presbyterians, with Trinity to be kept for Protestants. They failed. The Queen's Colleges were established, though blighted by Church opposition and the lack of demand for higher education. However, when the present University came to be established in 1908, the principles underlying Peel's measure were applied: the Colleges were non-denominational and remain so. This book reprints an account of Thomas Wyse's educational work by his niece, Winifrede Wyse; carries some extracts from the Repeal Association debates between the O'Connellites and the Young Ireland group centred on "The Nation"; and reproduces extracts from the writings by Frank Hugh O'Donnell, an Irish Parliamentarian who had attended Queen's College, Galway. 132 pp. Index.

Name: "Notes On Eire" Subtitle: Espionage Reports to Winston Churchill—3rd. Edition with extra reports Author: Bowen, Elizabeth Editor: Clifford, Brendan and Lane, Jack Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Aubane Historical Society Published: 2009 ISBN: 9781-903497-55-5 Contents: The story of this book starts in 1993, when extracts from Elizabeth Bowen's works were included in "A North Cork Anthology", with the qualification that, though her family had property connections in the areas, she could not be regarded as a North Cork, or even an Irish, writer. This caused outrage in the Dublin media and some vicious attacks on Jack Lane and Brendan Clifford, the compilers of the Anthology. There was even doubt cast on the fact that Ms. Bowen spied against Ireland in the Second World War. The upshot of that controversy was that the Aubane Historical Society traced several of Ms. Bowen's secret reports, which are published here in full for the first time. For those who would see Ms. Bowen's spying as needing no defence, on the supposition that the Allied war on Germany was absolutely justified, and that Neutrals had no case, this book provides an extensive survey of international affairs in the decades before the War, including de Valera's role in the League of Nations. There are also sections on Irish and European Fascism. The book is rounded out by reproducing the polemic about Bowen which took place between the Aubane Historical Society and luminaries of the "Irish Times" and the "Sunday Business Post". The controversy about how to describe Ms. Bowen goes to the heart of what Ireland and Irish culture is, and this book is as good a starting point as any for those who seek the middle path between the Scylla of bigoted nationalism and the Charybdis of West British globalism. The second edition provides a further review of aspects of World War 2—the British betrayal of Poland, the American provocation of Japan, the British insistence on delaying the Second Front, and the Nuremberg Trials—in response to an indictment of Irish neutrality by Professor B. Girvin and Dr. G. Roberts. 152 pp. Extracts: No extra online material at this time. Errata: No errata available at this time.
