Great to hear of RIA lectures. the first of which deals with Daniel O’Connell. Does everyone believe O’Connell was fantastic? After his death in 1847, and while still unburied, Father John Kenyon, Young Irelander, wrote in the Nation that O’Connell had in fact achieved very little for the Irish people. Emancipation, he deemed to be achieved at too high a price, while he failed hopelessly to advance repeal, O’Connell, he implied was not a sinn feiner but a me feiner. I believe that Kenyon, who was born exactly two hundred years ago was correct.
Certainly interesting points Tim. What do others think?
I’ve just finished reading this, by a mate of Adrian Hardiman’s:
King Dan: the Rise of Daniel O'Connell, 1775-1829
and I think I would fall between seeing O’Connell as a Me-Feiner and just a bit confused about tactics: he jumped backwards and forwards at various times in a way that could be opportunistic or a bit desparate, depending on your point of view.
I’m pretty sure everyone doesn’t believe O’Connell was fantastic. But tbh, the talk about his times wouldn’t interest me as much as the ones on Ireland in the 1790s (the United Men and all that); Robert Emmett (the romance of the last futile throw of the dice by the United Men); pamphlets of the 1641 troubles juxtaposed with the talk on pamphlets of our more recent troubles (how the North was different then and is still pretty much different in the same way now!).
