Between the emotive years of 1969 to 1971 Fianna Fail was brought face to face with one of its most blatant contradictions: the gap between the party's habitual pronouncements of its desire for a united Ireland and the reality that the party could offer no practical solutions to deliver this objective. Why had this gap developed? This book answers this question and many more, tracing the historical reasons for why Fianna Fail failed to devise a realistic and long-term Northern Ireland policy from 1926 to 1971. As the violence engulfed Northern Ireland by the late 1960s the book explains why so many within Fianna Fail believed that the use of physical force represented official Irish government policy. It also analyses Fianna Fail's relationship with Ulster Unionism and northern Nationalism, exposing the party's long held apathy for both political movements. Significantly, the book is an examination of Fianna Fail's attitude to partition and Northern Ireland from cabinet level to the party's rank and file."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a 1926-1937 : Fianna F婁il, Irish unity and anti-partitionism, 1926-1932 -- 1938-1945 : The Anglo-Irish Agreement and the Fianna F婁il National Executive, 1938-1939 -- 1945-1951 : An idea reborn : the genesis of de Valera's worldwide anti-partition campaign, 1945-1946 -- 1951-1955 : Partition beyond the 'sore thumb' approach -- 1956-1961 : 'Conditional constitutionalists' : Fianna F婁il, Northern Ireland and the IRA border-campaign, 1956-1959 -- 1962-1965 : 'A sin too far' : Lemass, the IRA and Northern Ireland, 1961-1962 -- 1966-1971 : The 1966 Easter Rising commemorations and the deterioration of North-South relations. 610 20 $a Fianna F婁il. 650 0 $a Irish unification question. 651 0 $a Ireland $x Politics and government $y 1922- 651 0 $a Ireland $x History $y Partition, 1921. 651 0 $a Northern Ireland $x History. 651 0 $a Northern Ireland $x Politics and government. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826080833.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E926EDC6B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
