 The Vanishing Irish: Households, Migration, and the Rural Economy in Ireland, 1850-1914
Three grounds are cited: many of the never-married were heads of prosperous households, many remaining in Ireland and remaining unmarried could have emigrated to "a decent life overseas," and rising rural incomes in the 1851-1911 period were directly at odds with the Malthusian preventative check of increasing poverty (p.
Rather, the causes of the rise in permanent celibacy in Ireland are found in economic circumstance: land tenancies made more secure and valuable by the Land Acts, and in the development of a poor relief system with, late in the period, an old age pension system as well.

 Ireland's OWN: History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
All Scots must therefore appreciate the plight of Ireland, which for over seven centuries has chafed under the same English yoke, and now ought to stand by Ireland in her last great effort for freedom; the last because triumph is bound to be hers very soon.
Britain has obviously no excuse for the flooding of Ireland with troops, and it must be British Labour's bounden duty to see that these soldiers, mainly boys of 18, be withdrawn and let the Irish settle their own affairs.
Ireland's victory is obviously the undoubted prelude to Labour's triumph throughout the world, when robbery shall give place to justice in the mighty Communist Commonwealth, and when with the scrapping of armies and navies, mankind can live in peace to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

 The Irish Volunteers, Ireland, July 1914
Irish nationalists groups feared the arming of the Ulster Volunteers in April 1914, seeing it to be a move that would not only undermine efforts to free Ireland from direct British control but also one that could actively repress independence movements.
In answer to this the Irish volunteers used the same loophole and in July 1914 the nationalist Erskine Childers landed 900 rifles from Germany at Howth, seven miles from Dublin and was greeted by 800 volunteers who had turned out to receive their weapons..
The set shows a pair of volunteers in a mixture of civilian and military dress and a member of the women's arm in her distinctive military style uniform.

Civil war in Ireland was postponed by a greater conflict on the European mainland.
When both the Nationalists and Unionists pledged the support of their volunteers to the Allies, Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, said with evident relief that 'the one bright spot in the very dreadful situation is Ireland'.
Militant republicans, however, believed that 'England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity': the Irish Republican Brotherhood prepared a rebellion and got the support of James Connolly's Irish Citizen Army.

With her 14,191 tons and 17-knot service speed, the Empress of Ireland was one of the largest and fastest ships operating on the Canadian run.

One interruption in the Empress of Ireland’s otherwise steady service came in July of 1913, when she participated in the Mersey Royal Review of merchant and naval vessels by King George V and Queen Mary.

Keith Jeffery examines the legacy of Ireland's response to the conflict.
But in Ireland, which in 1914 was deeply divided between nationalist and unionist political groups, more local considerations played an important part for many individuals.
This was on the grounds that the necessary legislation had been passed (though in fact it was suspended for the duration of the war), and that the 'freedom of small nations' (such as Belgium or Serbia) was that of Ireland as well.

 The factory acts in Ireland, 1802-1914   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The large textile, shipbuilding and engineering works in the North were typical products of the industrial revolution, but the smaller factories and workshops located in other parts of the island also exposed workers to unfair terms and conditions of employment.
Particular reference is made to the regulation of health, safety and the fair payment of wages to women and children working in the linen industry, the prevention of accidents to the men employed in shipbuilding and on the docks, and the inspection of working conditions in the industrial processing of agricultural products.
The role played in Ireland by lady inspectors, some of the earliest 'women servants of the state', is examined, and case studies of attempts to enforce the Factory Acts in the magistrates' courts provide a fascinating insight into a hitherto neglected aspect of the administration of justice in 19th-century Ireland.

It is realised that Ireland is able to sustain herself with her own food, but that the demand for food to feed the army and to provision Great Britain will lead to an enormous increase of prices and, perhaps to famine in the Irish towns.

This book explores the impact, both immediate and in its longer historical perspective, of the First World War upon Ireland across the broadest range of experience - nationalist, unionist, Catholic, Protestant - and in civilian social, economic and cultural terms, as well as purely military.
Underscoring the work is a belief that the Great War is the single most central experience in twentieth-century Ireland and that the events of the war years, whether at home in Dublin during the Easter Rising or at the European battlefront, constitute a ‘seamless robe’ of Irish experience.
