Gortaglanna Memorial”   Dance  on  May 8 On   May  12  each   year,    Kerrymen    cannot   help   but  remember  the  atrocious  murders  of Paddy  Dalton,  Paddy  Walsh  and Jerry  Lyons  of  Kerry No. 1-  Brigade,  I. R. A., who  were   brutally   put  to  death  by  the Black  and  Tans  at   Gurtaglanna,   Listowel,  Co.  Kerry,  on  May  12,  1921.  Many  of  their   comrades  here  who  are   still   determined  to  carry  on the fight   for  the  cause  for  which   these   noble   three   gave  up their  lives   have   gotten   together  to  hold  an  entertainment  and dance  on Saturday  evening.  May   8.    The  affair   will  be  held  at  Hunt’s   Point   Palace,  163d street and Southern    Boulevard,   and  will    commence  promptly  at  8.30.  The committee in charge is  headed  by  Con Dee, chairman.   All contributions may be  made   payable  to  Martin Howard secretary- treasurer 314 West 117 Street

 

The   proceeds  of  the  affair   will  go  towards  the  erection  of  an  Irish  Republican   memorial  hall  in the  village  of  Knockanure.  which is but  100  yards  from  the actual  spot  where  these   gallant   soldiers   were   murdered.     Those     who are responsible   for the  idea  of  a   memorial   of   this   kind   are  to be complimented.    The hall will be  used  for   meetings   of  the  local   Sinn   Fein   clubs  and  other   Irish   Republican  activities.    Besides  being  a  reminder  of  these  three  heroes,  the memorial  hall  will  be the “preparing  ground”  for  the  fight  which  will  end  in victory  for  the  Irish   Republic,  for which   they   sacrificed  all.   A  memorial  of  such  a  kind  will  certainly  be more  pleasing  to  the  “The   Men  of   Gurtaglanna   than  all the  monuments   and  statues    that    money   could   build.   Rev.  Fr.  Lyons  of  St. Paul’s,   East   117th   street,   Is  a  brother   of   Jerry   Lyons,  who   was   one of  the tree martyrs.

FAMINE: As the Great Hunger of 1848-1852 decimated the population of Ireland, with over one million deaths and two million emigrants forced to flee starvation, the Earl Grey Scheme contrived to bring orphan girls aged 14-19 from workhouses (poorhouses) across Ireland to Australia, to work as servants and help populate the new colony. During the years 1849-1851, some 4000 girls participated in the scheme, 1700 of whom came to Melbourne on six ships; Lady Kennaway, Pemberton, Diadem, New Liverpool, Derwent and Eliza Caroline.

Robert George: Stand up to the woke bullying in America

July 9, 2020

 

“People have forgotten that bullies are cowards,” said Prof. Robert George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University and author of books and of articles, including “Solzhenitsyn’s Prophecy.”

“We need outspokenness. It’s the power of the word, not the force of arms, that will win this battle. But if people are too afraid, too frightened, too intimidated, too bullied to speak out against the bully — to stand up and defy the bully when the bully says, ‘Oh, you’re not allowed to say that,’ or the bully says, ‘Oh, you must say this, you must give me your loyalty oath’ — until somebody stands up, until we gather ourselves and stand up to the bullies, this bullying is going to continue. But the minute that we do stand up, the bully will be revealed to be what all bullies are…a coward. And then we will begin to restore our civilization and our country.”

Report by Bernadette Hyland of a new archive in Salford.

Over the centuries the Irish have played a key role in the labour and trade union movement in Britain. The Working Class Movement Library has some of the most important archives documenting this and shows the continuous thread between generations of Irish and British activists.

For all the devastation of pandemics, there is a historic forgetfulness around them. They are not events that get grand public memorials, and their tolls tend to be remembered individually, rather than collectively, by those who experienced loss.

It was this scarcity of historical on-the-ground experiences that the Rev. Francis E. Tourscher was thinking of in 1919, when he compiled first-hand accounts from nuns who had worked as nurses during the influenza outbreak that had just ravaged Philadelphia
