Home rule crisis

The First Dáil was established in 1919 by Sinn Féin members who refused to take seats in the British House of Commons. They began organizing their own government and courts in Ireland. The War of Independence began in 1919 with an IRA ambush of British forces. The IRA used guerrilla tactics against the British army. Michael Collins established an intelligence network to gather information on British spies and informers. As the conflict escalated, the British recruited the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries, whose reprisal attacks harmed many innocent Irish civilians. There were several major violent incidents in 1920-1921 until both sides agreed to a truce in July 1921 due to shortages on the IRA side and rising criticism and

Belfast Blitz 1941

- The document discusses Belfast during World War 2, including its strategic importance due to its naval facilities and shipbuilding industry, and the devastating Belfast Blitz of April 1941 where German bombing killed over 1,100 people. - During two nights of bombing in April 1941, waves of German planes dropped high explosives and incendiary bombs across Belfast, especially hitting working class areas and an air raid shelter, causing widespread damage and casualties. - The Blitz had long term effects of consolidating Northern Ireland's position within the UK and further distancing the neutral Republic of Ireland, as well as stimulating postwar rebuilding efforts and investment.

Nuremberg rallies

The document provides details about the annual Nazi propaganda rallies held in Nuremberg, Germany between 1927-1939. It describes how Hitler wanted to associate the Nazis with Germany's past glory by hosting the rallies in the important city of Nuremberg. Over time, the rallies grew enormously in scale and spectacle, featuring massive crowds, military displays, and speeches by Hitler and Goebbels. Leni Riefenstahl's famous propaganda films "Triumph of the Will" and "Day of Freedom" were used to document the 1934 and 1935 rallies respectively. The 1935 rally also saw the passage of the Nuremberg Laws which stripped Jews of their citizenship and rights in Germany.

The Home Rule Crisis and World War One in Ireland

John Redmond, leader of the Home Rule Party, convinced Prime Minister Asquith to grant home rule to Ireland in 1910. However, unionists strongly opposed home rule, fearing discrimination under Catholic rule. They organized under Sir Edward Carson and Sir James Craig, holding protests and forming armed groups like the Ulster Volunteer Force. Nationalists responded in kind with the Irish National Volunteers. As tensions rose, World War I broke out in 1914, postponing the home rule issue.

The Anglo-Irish Treaty

- Lloyd George invited de Valera to send negotiators to London to discuss a treaty to end the war in Ireland. De Valera refused to lead the delegation himself. - The negotiations were contentious, with the British insisting Ireland remain within the British Empire and Irish delegates seeking full independence. Key points of contention were sovereignty, partition, and an oath of allegiance to the Crown. - After two months of negotiations, the Irish delegates reluctantly agreed to and signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921, establishing the Irish Free State with dominion status within the British Empire. However, this led to a split in Sinn Fein and soon after, a civil war in Ireland.

Home rule and the Irish Parliamentary Party

The document discusses the Home Rule movement in Ireland and the political crisis it caused in Britain between 1909-1914. It outlines that Nationalists wanted Home Rule and an Irish parliament, while Unionists in Ulster wanted to remain part of Britain. This caused tensions, with Unionists forming the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) of over 100,000 men to resist Home Rule. Nationalists responded by forming the Irish Volunteers. Both groups began importing arms, increasing the threat of civil war. World War 1 interrupted this by postponing Home Rule, though tensions remained high.

Cumann na n gaedheal economic policy

Cumann na nGaedheal faced significant economic challenges when it came to power in 1922, inheriting a backward economy burdened by debt from the Civil War. It focused on agriculture given Ireland's rural nature but faced problems with small farm sizes and declining prices. While policies aimed to improve standards, outcomes were limited with little change in outputs or exports. Industry was not a priority and economic growth remained slow under Cumann na nGaedheal's conservative policies of low taxation and balanced budgets.

The document summarizes the Jarrow Crusade, a protest march that took place in Britain in 1936. Unemployment had reached high levels in Jarrow, a town in northeast England, after the closure of the shipbuilding yard. To protest the lack of action by the government, 200 unemployed men from Jarrow embarked on a 300-mile march to London to present a petition to Parliament. The disciplined 25-day march gained widespread support along its route. While there were no immediate results, the Crusade brought attention to the economic struggles facing communities like Jarrow and had long-term political impacts.

Reaction to the treaty

The document summarizes the reaction to the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 in Ireland. It discusses the key aspects of the treaty including establishing the Irish Free State and retaining dominion status within the British Empire. It also outlines the debates in the Dáil Éireann, with arguments both for and against the treaty from military, republican, and moderate perspectives. In the end, the Dáil narrowly voted to accept the treaty by 64 to 57 votes.

Fianna fail in power website

Fianna Fail came to power in 1932, winning the general election. They set about removing British influence from Irish politics and the constitution. De Valera removed the oath of allegiance and the position of Governor General. He introduced a new constitution in 1937 that created Ireland as a republic in all but name. De Valera also engaged in an "Economic War" with Britain from 1932-1938 over land annuities payments, which imposed hardships but resulted in more independence. While protectionist policies damaged agriculture, Fianna Fail grew industry and employment through state bodies like Aer Lingus and the Industrial Credit Corporation.

Anglo irish treaty 1921

The document summarizes the negotiations that led to the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. It describes the main issues debated, including Ireland's relationship with the British Empire, the status of Northern Ireland, and British defense requirements. The Irish delegation had ambiguous instructions and was divided on issues like compromising on a republic. After two months of negotiations and threats of war from Lloyd George, the Irish signed the treaty on December 6th, recognizing King George as head of the Irish Free State but partitioning Ireland and leaving Northern Ireland out.

Fianna fail economic policies

Fianna Fail pursued economic policies of protectionism and self-sufficiency after gaining power in 1932. They imposed high tariffs on imports and gave loans and subsidies to encourage the development of Irish industry and agriculture. However, their actions led to an "Economic War" with Britain and higher prices for goods in Ireland. While some industries grew, unemployment remained high and many people suffered. Overall, Fianna Fail's economic policies met with mixed success in achieving full independence and prosperity for Ireland.

World war II in Northern Ireland

World War II had a significant impact on Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland played an important role in Britain's war effort by producing ships, aircrafts, linen and food. However, Belfast suffered extensive bomb damage during the Belfast Blitz of 1941, with over 900 deaths. The war economy led to a boom in Northern Ireland's industry and agriculture. After the war, Northern Ireland benefited from closer ties to Britain and the establishment of the British welfare state, while a growing economic divide opened up between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in the south.

War of Independence

The document summarizes the key events of the Irish War of Independence between 1919-1921. It describes how the Irish Republican Army (IRA) engaged in guerrilla warfare against British forces using ambushes and hit-and-run tactics. In response, the British government recruited the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries, who used violent reprisals against Irish civilians which escalated the conflict. As violence increased on both sides, both the British and IRA grew weary of the ongoing war and a truce was agreed to in July 1921.

The 1916 Easter Rising - Junior Cert History

The irish home rule

Rachel Brown

The document discusses the history of the Irish Home Rule movement from the late 19th century through World War 1. It covers the political parties that supported and opposed Home Rule, the resistance in Ulster, various Home Rule bills proposed, and the impact of events like the Easter Rising of 1916. Key figures and groups discussed include Charles Stewart Parnell, William Gladstone, the Irish Nationalist Party led by John Redmond, the Ulster Unionist Party led by Edward Carson, and the nationalist Sinn Fein party.

Fianna fail foreign policies

Fianna Fail pursued an agenda of dismantling the Anglo-Irish Treaty after coming to power in 1932. They removed the oath of allegiance and reduced the role of the British monarch and governor general. De Valera promoted Irish sovereignty internationally through his role in the League of Nations. Tensions rose with Britain on issues like land annuities, leading to an economic war until the 1935 Coal-Cattle Pact. The 1937 Constitution established Ireland as an independent republic in all but name.

Cumann na n gaedheal

Cumann na nGaedheal governed Ireland from 1923-1932. Led by William Cosgrave, their priorities included establishing law and order through the Garda police force, gaining control over the army after a 1924 mutiny, and developing Ireland's economy through projects like the Shannon Hydroelectric Scheme. They took a generally conservative approach to governance and faced some unrest over issues like wage cuts. Kevin O'Higgins, a key minister, was assassinated in 1927, prompting the government to pass laws targeting the IRA and forcing all TDs to take their seats.

Ireland after 1916 - the rise of Sinn Fein

The document summarizes events in Ireland after the 1916 Easter Rising up until the Irish Civil War. It describes how initially public sympathy was not with the rebels after the Rising due to the damage caused. However, the British execution of rebel leaders swung public opinion in their favor. Sinn Fein grew in popularity advocating for full Irish independence. They established the Dáil Éireann parliament and won a landslide in the 1918 election. This led to the War of Independence against British forces. The British use of the Black and Tans exacerbated the conflict. While the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty established Irish self-government, it was rejected by anti-Treaty IRA forces, leading to the Irish Civil War between pro

Eucharistic congress 1932

The Eucharistic Congress of 1932 was an international Catholic festival held in Dublin to celebrate the 1,500 year anniversary of St. Patrick's arrival in Ireland. Over 1 million people attended massive religious events, including mass led by the Papal Nuncio in Phoenix Park. The Congress demonstrated the dominant role of Catholicism in Irish society and the close relationship between the Irish government and Catholic Church, with laws passed restricting divorce, contraception, and censorship in line with Church teachings. It further solidified the religious and political divisions between predominantly Catholic Ireland and Protestant Northern Ireland in the wake of their partition.

Causes of the civil war

The document summarizes several key causes of the Irish Civil War: 1) The Irish Treaty in 1921 split public opinion, with some viewing it as a betrayal of Irish republican ideals and others as a stepping stone to further independence. 2) The IRA also split over the treaty, becoming the pro-treaty "Regulars" and anti-treaty "Irregulars". 3) The provisional Irish government had weak authority as it was temporary and not yet constitutionally established. 4) Anti-treaty IRA forces seized buildings in Dublin and refused to recognize the provisional government, further destabilizing the situation. 5) Attempts at reconciliation like the Collins-de

The Emergency: Ireland during World War II

During World War 2, Ireland declared neutrality. Taoiseach Eamon de Valera argued this was necessary due to the ongoing partition of Ireland and the hostility many still felt towards Britain. The emergency powers act gave the government control to maintain safety. While neutrality helped Ireland avoid direct war impacts, it came at an economic cost through trade limitations and isolation from postwar support. Overall, neutrality was a popular policy that protected Ireland's independence despite challenges.

Lbj and vietnam

The document discusses the US involvement in the Vietnam War under President Lyndon B. Johnson. It describes how the US initially provided support to France in fighting communist forces led by Ho Chi Minh. It then escalated its own involvement throughout the 1960s despite growing domestic opposition, leading to the deployment of 500,000 troops by 1968. The Tet Offensive in early 1968 was a major turning point that turned US public opinion against the war and led to LBJ deciding not to seek re-election.

Irish War of Independence

eamonncorry30

The document summarizes key events in Irish history surrounding the War of Independence and establishment of the Irish Free State. It describes the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising, including executions and imprisonment of leaders. It then discusses the rise of Sinn Féin and Michael Collins, the first meeting of the Dáil Éireann, the War of Independence fought using guerrilla tactics, Bloody Sunday, and the partitioning of Ireland. Finally, it outlines the negotiations of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the divide in opinion it caused, and Britain withdrawing from Dublin Castle in 1922.

Cumann na n gaedheal foreign policy

Cumann nGaedheal pursued an active foreign policy after the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 to increase Ireland's independence and sovereignty. They joined the League of Nations in 1923 over British objections. The 1926 Commonwealth Conferences and 1930 Statute of Westminster formally established equality among Commonwealth nations and allowed them to repeal British laws. Cumann nGaedheal's foreign policy successfully established Ireland as an independent nation within the international community.

Easter rising 1916

The document summarizes plans for the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. It describes how the Irish Volunteers and Citizen's Army planned an uprising to end British rule in Ireland and establish an independent republic. Their plans were disrupted when British intelligence intercepted a shipment of weapons from Germany. On Easter Monday 1916, the rebels went ahead and took over key locations in Dublin, reading the Easter Proclamation. After six days of fighting, the rebels surrendered to British forces. This led to hundreds of arrests and executions, turning the rebel leaders into martyrs and galvanizing Irish nationalism.

Northern Ireland conflict

Ann Michaelsen

Fianna fail political developments

Fianna Fail came to power in 1932 under Eamon de Valera and began dismantling the Anglo-Irish Treaty over the next several years. De Valera passed laws removing Ireland from British control and creating a new constitution in 1937 that made Ireland a republic in name. However, Ireland remained in the Commonwealth to avoid antagonizing Britain. De Valera also had to contend with the fascist Blueshirts organization and eventually banned them, seeing them as a threat. He initially supported the IRA but later banned it as well when it became a threat to his power.

Irish Civil War

The Irish Civil War began as divisions grew between those who supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty (Pro-Treaty) and those opposed to it (Anti-Treaty). Fighting broke out in Dublin as Anti-Treaty forces occupied buildings and the Pro-Treaty forces, led by Michael Collins, attacked in response. The Anti-Treaty forces retreated south but were defeated as the Pro-Treaty army cut off supply lines by sea and land. Key leaders on both sides, including Collins and Arthur Griffith, were killed as the bitter fighting continued for over a year until the Anti-Treaty forces surrendered in 1923 after losing their leader Liam Lynch. The Civil War caused deep divisions in

Irish Civil War

Ireland and World War Two

During World War 2, Ireland declared neutrality to assert its sovereignty and independence following the partition of Ireland in 1921. Ireland pursued a policy of pro-Allied neutrality by secretly assisting Britain with things like weather reports and allowing British planes to pass through Irish airspace, while maintaining economic trade relationships. This policy was popular among the Irish population as it allowed Ireland to avoid direct involvement in the war and the suffering experienced elsewhere. However, neutrality also led to economic difficulties and censorship within Ireland.

State building

Cumann na nGaedheal came to power after the April 1923 general election, winning 63 seats. William T. Cosgrave became President of the Executive Council while Kevin O'Higgins served as V. President and Minister for Home Affairs. The new government adopted a conservative administration similar to the British system, with 98% of British civil servants transferring to the new Irish Free State civil service. A new unarmed police force, the Civic Guard (later known as the Garda Síochána) was also established to replace the Royal Irish Constabulary. The court system remained similar to Britain's with district, circuit, central criminal and high courts, as well as a supreme court. Local government underwent changes as

Threats to the free state

The Army Mutiny of 1924 occurred when officers and soldiers took weapons from their barracks, demanding an end to demilitarization and the removal of the Army Council. The government responded by appointing a new general and negotiating a compromise. This crisis firmly established government control over the army. In 1925, the findings of the Boundary Commission, which recommended only minor border changes, embarrassed the Irish government. Industrial unrest in the 1920s included strikes over wage cuts and pension reductions. The assassination of Kevin O'Higgins in 1927 led the government to make the IRA illegal and restrict constitutional amendments. In the early 1930s, the government cracked down on left-wing groups due to fears of communist influence, though most arrests were soon

Review of ireland 1922 1939

The document provides a review of Ireland from 1922 to 1939, covering the political parties and issues facing the governments during this period. It summarizes that Cumann na nGaedheal governed from 1923 to 1932, facing challenges in consolidating the state, maintaining law and order, and dealing with economic difficulties. Fianna Fail then came to power in 1932 and faced threats to the state from the IRA as well as dismantling the Anglo-Irish Treaty through the 1937 Constitution and pursuing economic policies of protectionism and self-sufficiency. The document outlines these periods and issues in Ireland to provide context for questions about the successes and failures of the different governments and policies.

Third Year Junior Cert History Notes

Ireland and the search for independence

CorrieBowes

The government of Ireland changed drastically from 1800-1921. Ireland was originally ruled by the British government in Westminster and Irish MPs had little power. Many Irish people wanted self-rule, known as Home Rule. After the 1916 Easter Rising and War of Independence against Britain, Ireland established its own parliament, the Dáil, in 1919. However, the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 created the Irish Free State, establishing an independent Ireland but still within the British Empire. This caused division as some wanted a full republic separate from Britain.

The troubles

quillinn

The document provides background information on the conflict in Northern Ireland known as "The Troubles": - The conflict began in the late 1960s but has roots dating back to the 17th century involving questions of nationality, sovereignty, and colonialism. - The community is divided between mainly Protestant unionists who want to remain in the UK, and mainly Catholic nationalists who want Northern Ireland to join the Republic of Ireland. - Over 3,000 people have died since the conflict intensified in 1969, making it Europe's second deadliest conflict after Yugoslavia. While often portrayed as religious, the core issues involve nationality and colonialism.

Churchill&ireland

sgwmalcol

Winston Churchill had various connections to Ireland throughout his life. He visited Ireland in 1912 to advocate for Home Rule but was mobbed by protesters. Churchill believed Ireland could remain part of the British Empire as a dominion like Canada with more autonomy. In 1914, he sent battleships to Belfast to maintain order amid threats of violence. The Easter Rising in 1916 saw Irish nationalists seize buildings in Dublin and proclaim an Irish Republic, though it was quickly suppressed by the British. A war of independence followed as Irish republicans fought British rule, leading Churchill to form the Black and Tans paramilitary force. A truce in 1921 began negotiations, and the Irish Free State was created the following year, partitioning Ireland.

St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland in the 400s AD. English involvement began in 1170 when an Irish king asked England for help, rewarding them with land. By the 1300s, English barons owned nearly all Irish land. Oliver Cromwell massacred Catholics in Drogheda in 1649 and confiscated more land for Protestants. The Penal Laws in 1695-1728 severely restricted Catholic rights. The 1801 Act of Union abolished the Irish parliament. The 1845-48 Potato Famine killed over 1 million and caused widespread emigration.

The document summarizes the history of separatist terrorism in Ireland and the Basque region of Spain. In Ireland, separatist violence stemmed from British domination and cultural suppression of the Irish people dating back to the Norman conquest. This led to the formation of groups like the IRA who used terrorism in campaigns for Irish independence and against British rule, particularly in Northern Ireland. In the Basque region, separatist violence by ETA was a response to the suppression of Basque culture and identity under Franco's fascist regime in Spain. ETA used terrorism from the 1960s onwards in their fight for an independent Basque state.

Changing governments 1977 1982 revision

The 1977 Irish general election saw Fianna Fáil win under Jack Lynch with a promise to abolish rates and car tax. Fianna Fáil then governed through economic troubles including rising inflation due to oil crises. Lynch was replaced by Charles Haughey in 1979 amid declining popularity. The 1981 election saw a Fine Gael-Labour coalition form briefly before collapsing, leading to another Fianna Fáil government under Haughey's unstable minority administration. Economic problems continued to plague Ireland throughout this volatile period.

The National Coalition 1973-1977 - revision

The National Coalition government led by Liam Cosgrave governed Ireland from 1973 to 1977. It struggled with high inflation and rising unemployment caused by the global 1973 oil crisis. It supported Ireland joining the European Economic Community and negotiated the Sunningdale Agreement to share power in Northern Ireland. However, the agreement collapsed and violence from the IRA increased. The government introduced tough anti-terrorism laws that led to a constitutional crisis when the President resigned. Facing growing economic problems and controversy over boundary changes, the National Coalition suffered a landslide defeat in the 1977 election.

The government was a coalition led by Fine Gael's John A Costello as Taoiseach. It included the new party Clann na Poblachta led by Sean MacBride.

Ireland in the 1950s revision

Ireland in the 1950s was a time of economic crisis and mass emigration. Fianna Fail returned to power in 1957 after the failure of the Second Inter-Party Government to solve economic issues. Unemployment was widespread and over 500,000 people emigrated during the decade due to lack of opportunities. The IRA launched its failed Border Campaign against Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, the Catholic Church maintained strong influence over social and political affairs in Ireland.

The IRA and the Troubles in Northern Ireland

Sinn Fein and the IRA emerged from Irish nationalist movements in the early 20th century. The IRA split in 1969 into the Provisional IRA and Official IRA. The Provisional IRA launched a bombing campaign against British targets in Northern Ireland to force withdrawal but this failed. The IRA then adopted a long war strategy of attrition through the 1970s and 1980s, attacking military and economic targets. IRA prisoners engaged in hunger strikes in the 1980s which increased support for Sinn Fein politically. Eventually, Sinn Fein and the IRA adopted a strategy of using both political and military means, leading to IRA decommissioning and Sinn Fein becoming the largest nationalist party in Northern Ireland.

Downing Street Declaration 1993

The Downing Street Declaration of 1993 was a joint declaration by the British and Irish governments that acknowledged the rights of the people of Ireland to self-determination. It aimed to kickstart the peace process and negotiations between the political parties in Northern Ireland. The declaration came after years of on-again, off-again talks between the parties and after secret talks between Sinn Fein and the British government. However, the declaration failed to stop violence as the IRA and loyalist paramilitaries continued attacks in the following months.

Anglo-Irish Agreement 1985

The Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985 established an intergovernmental conference between the UK and Irish governments to cooperate on security, legal and political issues regarding Northern Ireland. It set up offices with staff from both Ireland and the UK and acknowledged that a united Ireland could only happen with the consent of Northern Ireland's majority. Unionists strongly opposed the agreement, seeing it as a betrayal and handing Northern Ireland to Ireland. Protests were large but faded by 1986, though paramilitary violence continued, killing almost 300 people by 1987. The agreement remained in place but talks in 1991 failed to make further progress.

Northern Ireland - the Welfare State

The document summarizes the introduction and development of the welfare state in Northern Ireland from 1949-1973. It discusses how the welfare state provided free healthcare, education, pensions and unemployment benefits through higher taxes. While Unionists initially resisted it, the welfare state was eventually implemented and made Northern Ireland more prosperous than the Republic of Ireland economically and socially. Key developments discussed include expanding education access, improving housing conditions, increasing healthcare funding and investing in infrastructure to attract foreign industry.

Brookeborough & O'Neill - Northern Ireland Prime Ministers

Basil Brooke served as Prime Minister of Northern Ireland from 1949 to 1963, pursuing a policy of maintaining Protestant dominance. The IRA launched a border campaign from 1956-1962 that had little Catholic support. Terence O'Neill replaced Brookeborough in 1963 and sought reforms to build bridges between communities, meeting with the Irish Taoiseach which angered Unionists. The civil rights movement emerged demanding reforms, and marches in 1968 were met with police violence, destabilizing the region. O'Neill introduced some reforms under pressure but resigned in 1969 after loyalist attacks on a civil rights march.

USA Economy 1945-1989

The document summarizes the key factors that led to strong economic growth in the United States following World War 2 through the 1960s, as well as the challenges that emerged later. It notes that government spending on infrastructure, education, and defense contributed significantly to growth in this period. However, rising budget deficits, inflation, and unemployment in the 1970s marked a slowdown. The economic policies of presidents Ford, Carter and Reagan attempted to address these issues with mixed results.

Racial conflict in the USA

The document summarizes the history of racial conflict and the civil rights movement in the USA. It describes how Jim Crow laws legalized racial segregation and discrimination. It also discusses the founding of the NAACP to promote civil rights and some of its early legal victories. Key events of the civil rights movement discussed include the Montgomery Bus Boycott sparked by Rosa Parks' arrest, the desegregation of Little Rock High School amid violent protests, and the wider protests and campaign for voting rights in the 1960s led by Martin Luther King Jr. and others. The movement faced resistance and backlash, and the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. led to the rise of more militant black nationalist groups advocating "

Sunningdale Agreement

The document summarizes the Sunningdale Agreement of 1973 which aimed to establish power-sharing in Northern Ireland between unionists and nationalists. It established an executive and assembly with cross-community power-sharing, as well as a Council of Ireland to foster cooperation between Ireland and Northern Ireland. However, hardline unionists opposed the agreement and formed the United Ulster Unionist Council to resist it. In May 1974, they called a strike by Protestant workers that crippled Northern Ireland's economy and infrastructure, ultimately causing the agreement to collapse and the executive to resign.

Coleraine controversy

- In the 1960s, a committee was formed to examine the need for a second university in Northern Ireland after Queen's University in Belfast reached capacity. Two sites, Coleraine and Magee College in Derry, lobbied to host the new university. - The Lockwood Committee recommended Coleraine as the site in 1965, proposing to close Magee College. This sparked bitter protests in Derry and accusations of bias towards Unionist interests. - Despite heated debates, the Unionist government approved Coleraine.
