Contributor:

Professor Mary E. Daly

Talk Title:

Partition and the Two Irelands

Talk Synopsis:

This talk explores how Partition was ‘a defining moment for the two Irish states that were founded in the early 1920s’ and its impact on politics, inter-governmental relations and border communities. It suggests that Partition ‘accentuated differences and contrasting identities’ in both jurisdictions and that both ‘Ireland and Northern Ireland suffered from a sense of incompleteness’ from what happened and all that followed. It describes how attitudes and relationships have changed over time and also the gaps in ‘real knowledge’ of each other that remain for many people living in different parts of the island.

Short Biography:

Mary E. Daly is Professor Emerita in Irish History at University College Dublin. She is a member of the Expert Advisory Group that advises the Irish government on the commemorative programme for the Decade of Centenaries 2012-23.
