Irish Labour movement 1889-1924: Lecture Four - Jim Larkin and Larkinism
This document summarizes the life and work of Irish labor leader Jim Larkin from 1874-1947. Some key points:
- Larkin was born in Liverpool in 1874 to Irish parents and left school at age 11 to work various jobs. He became involved in labor organizing in the 1890s.
- In 1907 he was sent to Belfast to organize dock workers and called major strikes, leading to conflict with police. He later formed the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union in 1908.
- The 1913 Dublin Lockout saw over 20,000 workers dismissed for supporting the ITGWU. Larkin temporarily left for the US in 1914 to undertake speaking tours.
- He was imprisoned in the US
Contaminated Land, Jim 2 Limited v Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council (APP/...
This document discusses two recent court cases related to contaminated land:
1) Jim 2 Limited v Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, which examined whether Jim 2 was an "appropriate person" responsible for remediation of a former gasworks site. Key issues included what constitutes "knowingly permitting" contamination.
2) Powys County Council v Price, which considered whether Powys CC was an "appropriate person" responsible for a former landfill site. A key issue was whether liabilities transferred to Powys CC in 1996 included Part 2A EPA 1990 liabilities.
The implications are that the Part 2A contaminated land regime may no longer be functional, and there will be increased focus on the planning system and
Council housing in Hollington, 1920-1950
The document discusses the phases of public housing development in Hollington, England from the 1920s through the post-World War 2 era. It focuses on the involvement of Sidney Little, the Borough Engineer and Water Engineer. Little oversaw three phases of development: the 1920s, the immediate post-WW2 years, and the large housing estate built in 1949 onwards. The document provides details on specific housing developments under Little's leadership and the various local and national organizations involved in public housing provision.
Gorging and gout waterford
This document discusses changes in diet, consumption habits, and health in 18th-19th century Ireland. As disposable incomes rose across society, people spent more on food, alcohol, and fashion. Diets became richer, incorporating meat, sugar, and new processed foods. Excessive eating and drinking led to issues like gout. Medicine was also problematic, employing questionable practices and substances like lead-based cosmetics and mercury pills. Overall, greater affluence enabled overindulgence that could undermine people's well-being.

Is health better than wealth waterford
Poverty in the 18th-19th centuries was strongly correlated with poor health outcomes like high infant mortality rates. Wealthier families had better access to healthcare and lived longer. The development of hospitals, medical institutions, and dispensaries helped improve public health, while the rise of banks and paper currency expanded access to financial services. However, banking crises still occurred and exposed people to risks of financial ruin. Overall, the documents discuss how health and wealth were intertwined, with poverty bringing illness and wealth enabling better access to medical care.

5. Syndicalism
This document provides an overview of syndicalism in Ireland from 1917 to 1921 through four sections:
1. Industrial agitation and the growth of trade unionism during World War I and after, with increasing strikes and demands for higher wages.
2. Labour party gains 329 seats in 1920 local elections running on promises of improved housing, education, and public works.
3. In 1920, the National Union of Railwaymen calls a strike refusing to transport munitions for British forces in Ireland, seeing it as opposing militarism as in post-WWI Britain.
4. The document concludes with the signing of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty and the subsequent outbreak of civil war in Ireland.
10..S Free State
The document summarizes key events and developments in Ireland following the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, including:
1) The new constitution established universal suffrage over age 21 and included women in government for the first time.
2) Cumann na nGaedheal, the pro-Treaty party, came to power and focused on establishing a balanced budget and free trade.
3) Significant accomplishments of the early Free State included establishing a civil service system, reforming local governments, developing hydroelectric power through the Shannon Scheme, and establishing agricultural companies.
4) By the late 1920s, the economy was almost balanced but the Cumann na nGaedheal party faced challenges in

https://stokenewingtonhistory.com/stoke-newington-history-talks/Jarrow march 1936
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.
Introduction to Irish Politics: Lecture Two - The Constitution of Ireland
This document discusses the history and development of unionism in Ireland. It begins by defining unionism as a belief in the constitutional connection between Britain and Ireland. It then outlines the origins of organized unionism in Ireland in 1885-1886 in response to home rule proposals and the land war. The document goes on to discuss key events that mobilized unionists against home rule, including the third home rule bill and the Ulster covenant of 1912. It also summarizes key post-1920 legislation around local government and emergency powers that consolidated unionist control in Northern Ireland.
Ireland and Society, Lecture One: Religion
The document discusses the history and emergence of unionism in Ireland. It began as a reaction to Irish nationalism during the home rule crisis of 1885-1886. Formal Irish unionist organizations emerged at this time representing Protestant and conservative interests. The 1920 Government of Ireland Act created separate parliaments for Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland but ultimate power remained in London. Several acts were later passed in Northern Ireland in the 1920s that consolidated unionist control over local councils and granted special emergency powers to authorities.
Achievements of lord curzon ppt
Lord Curzon served as Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905. During his time, he established commissions to address important issues like famines, irrigation, policing, and education. He enacted laws around currency, land ownership, and protecting ancient monuments. However, his 1905 partition of Bengal greatly angered Indians and sparked protests. The partition was later reversed. Overall, Curzon took important administrative actions but faced opposition to some of his policies from Indians.
New Deal Organizations
The document summarizes many of the major relief programs established under the New Deal to provide relief, reform, and recovery from the Great Depression. It describes programs that provided relief for the unemployed like the CCC and NYA, economic recovery programs like the PWA and WPA, and financial reforms like the FDIC, SEC, and HOLC. The New Deal established many iconic programs and agencies that still exist today and helped revive the economy and provide relief during the Depression.
Constitutional and Legal Issues
This document discusses water resource management and inter-state river disputes in India. It outlines that while water is a state subject, inter-state rivers fall under the union government. It summarizes the constitutional provisions, various acts passed including the River Boards Act and Inter-State Water Disputes Act, and tribunals set up over time to resolve inter-state water disputes such as for the Godavari, Krishna, Narmada, Ravi-Beas, and Cauvery rivers. Amendments made to the acts to address tribunal timelines and implementation of decisions are also briefly discussed.
LSTAR's History Timeline
- The document outlines a history timeline of real estate boards in Canada and the London and St. Thomas area from 1880 to 1990.
- Some of the earliest real estate boards were established in Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Toronto in the late 1800s/early 1900s.
- The London Real Estate Board was chartered in 1936 and later amalgamated with the St. Thomas board to form the London and St. Thomas Real Estate Board in 1970.
- Computerization of real estate boards began in the 1980s with LSTAR installing an in-house computer system in 1984.
Unit 5.1 urbanisation
The document summarizes the process of urbanization in 19th century Britain. As the population rapidly grew in cities due to the Industrial Revolution, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions led to widespread disease outbreaks. Millions lived in cramped, dark back-to-back houses with no running water or sewers. Reformers like Edwin Chadwick brought attention to the public health crisis and its link to high death rates. Laws were passed to build modern sewage systems and improve living standards in cities. By the early 20th century, urbanization was complete and living conditions had significantly improved through these reforms.
Peel's decade
Sir Robert Peel served twice as Prime Minister of the UK in the 1840s. During this time, he oversaw important social reforms like the Factory Act to regulate child labor, the Mines Act to improve safety, and the Public Health Act. However, his repeal of the Corn Laws damaged his popularity. Ireland experienced the devastating Great Famine from 1845-1849, resulting in mass deaths and emigration. Peel continued enacting reforms but his sudden death in 1850 left a vacuum in Conservative leadership during a time of economic and social upheaval.

It summarizes the various acts and schemes from the 19th century onwards to regulate water levels and alleviate flooding in the region. It also outlines the current water management practices and infrastructure on the River Erne system.
Chapter 5 Section 2
The document summarizes several key events that increased tensions between the British colonies in America and the British government in the 1760s and early 1770s. It discusses Pontiac's War between Native Americans and colonists, the Proclamation of 1763 banning colonial expansion, new taxes imposed by the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765, and the colonists' growing protests against "taxation without representation." It also mentions the Boston Massacre of 1770 and the rise of Committees of Correspondence to spread anti-British sentiments among the colonies.
New Deal Programs
The document summarizes many of the major relief programs and reforms of FDR's New Deal. It describes programs that provided relief for the unemployed like the CCC and NYA, as well as major public works projects through the PWA, CWA, and WPA. It also covers major financial reforms and regulations like the FDIC, SEC, Glass-Steagall Act, and FFDCA. Rural electrification and infrastructure were addressed by agencies such as the REA, TVA, and RHA.
Wk 5 –The invention of radio and broadcasting in the UK
The document discusses the origins and early development of public service broadcasting through the BBC in the UK. It describes how radio technology developed in the late 19th/early 20th century leading to amateur radio use. In the 1920s, the BBC was formed as a monopoly through cooperation between manufacturers to avoid "chaos of the airwaves." John Reith became the first BBC Director General and envisioned it providing what the public "needs" through standards of quality over popularity. The BBC became a public service through the license fee and played a role in national events and identity through the 1930s.
Chronic Conditions in Health and Wealth
This document discusses how chronic health issues in 19th century Ireland were linked to poverty and poor living conditions. It outlines the increasing role of the government in establishing public health bodies and passing legislation to improve vaccination programs, disease control, healthcare provision, water quality, sewage systems, and housing standards. While conditions gradually improved through these efforts, health remained closely tied to wealth, so being wealthy was generally better for maintaining good health.
Murderous Outrage
Three murders that occurred in Ireland are summarized:
1. Catherine Foley was beaten to death with a stool leg and knife by her daughter Hanorah Foley in Ardmore in 1862. Hanorah claimed to be insane but doctors found no evidence of this.
2. Mary Grady was murdered and decapitated by Thomas Buckley in Knockyoolahan in 1881. Buckley had recently returned from America and neighbors said he had been of unsound mind.
3. Richard Maher was found beaten to death with his skull smashed near Killea in 1890. Local suspects included Thomas Hennessy Jr. and a man named Whittle who had a land dispute with someone Ma

The document discusses the roles and treatment of women in 19th century Ireland. It describes how women were expected to conform to the role of "angel in the house" and be subservient to men. Unmarried mothers and women seen as "dissolute" could be institutionalized. Legislation like the Contagious Diseases Acts allowed involuntary examination of women for STIs but not men. The document shows how women's rights began receiving more attention by the late 19th century through campaigns against such discriminatory laws and for women's suffrage.
