A Secular Agenda for Northern Irish Politics
In this Irish Politics unit, we’re exploring Irish Politics – the parties and the Irish General Elections, States of Ireland, the political process and key people in Irish politics, historical and contemporary. Having learned about The Troubles in our Peace unit, we are also investigating historical political antecedents – including Easter 1916 Rising, Patrick Pearse and the Fenians, the Proclamation of the Republic, revolution and civil war, Éamonn de Valera, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil, and Michael Collins and the Irish Volunteers.
This post will serve as a space for sharing reflections, ideas, inquiries, responses, and resources and drawing cultural and historical comparisons with similar conflicts, seen in a global context – as well as synthesizing provided and found resources while cybersleuthing.
