ERNEST BLYTHE was something of a phenomenon, a rarity among those who figured in the turmoil of the formative years of the Irish Free State.
Blythe survived for a short time the victory of de Valera and Fianna Fall in the General Election of 1932, being the Fine Gael member for North Monaghan, but he was defeated in the snap election of 1933 and went to the Senate until 1936, when he retired from politics.
Ernest Blythe was a man of considerable attainment and of ideals who was not averse to some ruthlessness in achieving them, but strongly against double-think.

 The Scotsman - Critique - A show of brute force   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Given the extraordinary intensity of the play, and the unflattering picture it paints of an Irish family abroad, it’s hardly surprising that it provoked extreme reactions from the start.
In London it achieved smash-hit status, and made Murphy one of the lionised young playwrights of the swinging Sixties, but when Murphy submitted it for production at Ireland’s national theatre in 1961, the director, Ernest Blythe, sent him an abusive letter, saying that the people he had described "did not exist".
And Murphy is interested to speculate on how the play will be received in Glasgow, where the experience of migration, and the tensions it produces, remains close to the surface of the city’s life.

It shows these men as brutish, regressive and inward-looking, carrying with them an us-against-the-world sense of identity that is equal parts aggression, hypocrisy and self-hatred.
Initially the Abbey Theatre rejected it, claiming the characters "did not exist", according to the director, Ernest Blythe.
And one reason the play works so well today is that it stands for the experience of not just the Irish emigrant, but anyone who strikes out on their own in spite of their social background.

 Eamon De Valera & the Fianna Fail
Mr Ernest Blythe, Minister for Finance under the Cumann na nGaedheal Administration, indicated what might happen if the Fianna Fáil was returned to power at the General Election.
Fianna Fáil, he said, would repeal the Constitution (Amendment) Act and abolish the Military Tribunal, thereby destroying the safety it had given to the Citizens; and Fianna Fáil would be unable to deal with gunbullies, who, before the passing of the Act, were ready to rob, loot and domineer their neighbourhoods.
In short, Mr Blythe accuses the Fianna Fail of being a party full of gun bullies who have to take on more radical methods to gain power.
