	Emergency Housing at Lawrence, 1854, by James C. Malin, Spring 1954
		The first election to be held in the territory was that of November 29, to elect a delegate to congress.
		All of these reproductions of the general view, including the present one, from the Lawrence Public Library copy of the albumin print, are modified from the original by the fact that the ferry at the foot of New Hampshire street was drawn in with fl ink.
		The conclusion is inescapable that the general view of Lawrence in the Rice pen sketches does not represent exactly the appearance of the town at any particular time, but combines in the same sketch, buildings of 1854 which no longer existed, with structures built during 1855.

		The Attorney General of Ireland and Irish Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach are often mistakenly believed to be members of the Government, they are not, but they often attend cabinet meetings.
		These are typically organised as boards appointed by a Minister (the Irish Minister for Finance if there is no other relevant minister), though some may only have one member (for example the Ombudsman) or a very small number of members (the Commission for Communications Regulation has a maximum of three members).

	A short history of Ireland
		The end of the war is brought by the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921, which establishes the Irish Free State of 26 counties within the Commonwealth and recognizes the partition of the island into Ireland and Northern Ireland supposedly as a temporary measure.
		A significant Irish minority repudiates the treaty settlement because of the continuance of subordinate ties to the British monarch and the partition of the island.

	Irish Post: Ronnie a legend on and off the track
		Ronnie enlisted alongside 20 or so classmates into the Irish Army Cadet School at the Curragh in Co. Kildare that December, but the twin ambition to be an officer and an athlete proved to be a false dawn.
		This 1956 Irish Olympic team was the most successful in the history of Irish sports, with Delany delivering gold, boxers Fred Tiet getting silver and a bronze going to Freddy Gilroy and John Caldwell.
		His totally relaxed manner generates an atmosphere of placidity about the man. To me, Ronnie Delany is the greatest Irish sports person of all time.

	No Irish Need Apply by John F (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Irish community used the allegation of job discrimination on the part of the Other to reinforce political solidarity among (male) voters, which in any case was very high indeed-- the highest for any political group in American history before the 1960s.
		It found that in general all groups have a preference for their own kind as coworkers (and were willing to take a 5-10% wage cut for the privilege of working alongside their own kind.) People who were willing to work with outsiders were paid more.
		Irish collective solidarity seems to have broken down after World War Two, as their machines rapidly decayed, as unions entered an era of decline, and as the Catholic school system generated high school and college graduates well-equipped to make their way in the world on their own, with little group support.

	Eamon de Valera Online Research :: Information about Eamon de Valera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Irish nationalism expected its report to recommend that largely nationalist areas become part of the Free State, and many hoped this would make Northern Ireland so small it would not be economically viable.
		Relations with the new Irish government, which was backed by most of the DÃ¡il and the electorate, and the Anti-Treatyites under the nominal leadership of de Valera, now descended into the Irish Civil War (June 1922), in which the pro-treaty Free State forces defeated the anti-Treaty IRA.
		His role in Irish history is no longer unequivocally seen by today's historians as a positive one, and a recent controversial biography by Tim Pat Coogan alleges that his failures outweigh his achievements, with de Valera's reputation declining as that of his great rival in the 1920s, Michael Collins (Irish leader) is rising.

		When the results of the Irish General Election, 1992 came in it was clear that both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael had done badly.
		In the mid-term elections in 2004 Fianna Fáil plummeted to its lowest level since the 1920's, mainly due to some bad financial decisions during the present government, and the failure of the government to fulfil many of its election pledges.

	Early Modern Notes » NotThe2005Election
		There is a current story about British general elections and political culture more generally: that there has been a substantial decline in election turnouts in recent decades, representing growing disaffection and apathy about politics.
		I should perhaps correct a misconception that might attach to these paintings: they’re particularly linked to the general election of 1754 and the contest for the Oxfordshire county seats, and although it’s a superb satire of some of the worst excesses and corruption of pre-1832 parliamentary politics, this is not a ‘Rotten Borough‘.

	Liam Cosgrave Summary
		Liam Cosgrave (Irish name Liam Mac Cosgair) (born 13 April, 1920), served as the fifth Taoiseach of the Republic of Ireland between 1973 and 1977 and was the son of W.T. Cosgrave, Head of Government from 1922 to 1932).
		To the surprise of his family, Liam decided to seek election to Dáil Eireann in the 1943 general election and was duly elected as a TD at the age of 23, sitting in the 12th Dáil alongside his father W.T. Cosgrave who had founded the State in the 1920s.
		Liam's son Liam T. Cosgrave is also an Irish politician who was accused before the Mahon Tribunal of accepting illegal payments from property developers in return for voting to rezone property in Dublin: he resigned from the Fine Gael party when this became known, thereby effectively ending his political career and the Cosgrave political dynasty.

		Fine Gael's revitalisation was of such a scale that by the December 1982 general election, Fine Gael was only five seats behind Fianna Fáil in Dáil Éireann and bigger than the party in Oireachtas Éireann (both houses of parliament put together).
		In 1990, its candidate in the Irish presidential election, Austin Currie, was pushed into a humiliating third place, behind Labour's Mary Robinson who won the election.
		However the party was defeated in the 1997 general election, with a Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats under Bertie Ahern.
