		Desmond was first elected to Dáil Éireann in a by-election in 1965, caused by the death of her husband, Dan Desmond, who had been a Teachta Dála (TD) since 1948.

	The 1981 Irish Hunger Strike
		Thus for the Irish, especially the northern Catholic republicans, the hunger strike, linked as it is to religio-political martyrdom and the pantheon of Irish heroes, is another means, possibly a weapon of last resort, of those nurturing a sense of oppression and frustrated in their attempts to resist.
		In addition to this, the Republic of Ireland held a general election on June 11th, and two Republican inmates in the Maze Prison, one of whom was a hunger striker, won seats in the Dail, the Irish Parliament.
		But here as with the coverage of the elections, the focus of the reporting was either on the security or political implications of the prisoner’s deaths, or reactions to their deaths, or human-interest aspects of their deaths.

	Irish Nationalism
		One of the devastating results of the shutting out of the Irish Catholic majority from participation in political and economic life until the 19th century was that "Ireland came to occupy a different period of time to that occupied by England;" what Brian Cleeve refers to as the "time-warp factor" (16).
		He believed in the Irish instinct for the center, that in their faith in their own experience and the fact of their survival, their culture had the power to reflect and recreate their continuity.
		Such a process is the heart that circulates the life-blood of a culture and the dominant theme of nationalism that Irish literature explores and reflects in all its facets is proof of the culture's continuing vitality.
