	Irish Democrat : Book reviews : Eoin O’Duffy: a self-made hero
		O'Duffy, the subject of this penetrating and perceptive study by Fearghal McGarry, has been viewed often as a marginal figure and seen largely through the prism of his later career.
		Clearly, it suits present-day Fine Gael members to speak of General Eoin O'Duffy as a crank and a political outsider, but this was not always the case.
		O'Duffy's exertions on behalf of Franco and his active support for the overthrow of the democratically elected Spanish government are well described.

		O'Duffy had promised 5000 men to Franco and at their peak in 1934 the Blueshirt movement had 50,000 members.
		What ODuffy failed to tell his men was that Franco was actually using Moorish Muslim troops in his front line from colonized Morocco and were themselves persecuting the catholic Basques who had gained autonomy under the leftist government.
		O'Duffy and his Blueshirts intended following in the footsteps of the Nazis...I thought there was a danger Ireland would go Fascist and that was one of the motivating factors in making up my mind to go.

	The Blueshirts at AllExperts
		The Army Comrades Association (ACA), later named National Guard and better known by its nickname The Blueshirts, was an Irish fascist political organisation set up by General Eoin O'Duffy, a former guerrilla leader in the IRA (before the Treaty), Irish Army general (during the Irish Civil War), Garda commissioner (1922 to 1933) in 1932.
		After de Valera's re-election in February 1933, he dismissed Eoin O'Duffy as Commissioner of the Garda; in July of that year, O'Duffy took control of the ACA, and re-named it the National Guard.
		O'Duffy's adventure by raising a volunteer group to aid the fascist uprising of Franco in Spain against a democratically elected government there, was at the time enthusiastically supported and abetted by the Irish Catholic Church, Fine Gael, the press, and other priveleged conservative elements.

		O'Duffy appears to have been damaged by the trauma of the War Of Independence and the Civil War.
		O'Duffy was a fascist so so were many other leading Cumann na Gaedhael/FG people in the 30s as evidenced by the references of the likes of Costello and Fitzgerald to Hitler and Mussolini and their admiration for corporatism.
		For several reasons; mainly because they realised that the Blueshirts would not be able to overthrow De Valera after he faced them down in 1933 and that between FF, the Broy Harriers, the IRA and trade unions that the balance of forces had shifted and that republicans would win any re-run of the Civil War.

		Is it the uniforms ????? or wot In our own context this has shades of Eoin ODuffy and hi sexual propositioning of hurling finalists.
		Apparently once when he was introduced to a hurling team in the dressing rooms at half time he began sexually propositoning them in a quite open and indeed desperate manner.
		Apparently not only did he have a torrid affair with the actor Liam Mac Liammor (or willy, son of big willy to non native speakers) he was punched in the gob by a waterford hurler as well after mistaking him for a lonely sailor when ODuffy was on a late night cruise of sorts.
