The governing assumption has been that any schemes to introduce substantial numbers of Protestant settlers were outmoded and unrealistic. This article takes another look at the extent to which, after 1691, elements in the Protestant propertied elite promoted plantation schemes and suggests that the idea was not only central to the plans for reconstruction envisaged by particular groups, especially in the province of Munster, but played a part in moulding a political outlook and creating a distinctively Whig political interest both in the Irish parliament and in the localities. The article goes on to propose that a set of developments in the middle years of the 1690s reduced interest in plantation, so that, by the early 1700s, the political energies of the ‘Protestant ascendancy’ were instead focused on legislation to restrict the property rights and political influence of what had come to be regarded as an entrenched Catholic majority in the population at large.","PeriodicalId":383312,"journal":{"name":"Studia Hibernica: Volume 48, Issue 1","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115047315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most famously, Patrick Pearse represented Niall Mac Giolla Bhrighde in 1905 in a case stated to the court of King’s Bench. Pearse went on to represent Domhnall Ua Buachalla in a similar but less well-known case the following year. Drawing on files from the Chief Secretary’s Office in Dublin Castle and digitised contemporaneous newspaper reports, this article provides an overview of the names in Irish on carts cases, which began in 1893, peaked in 1905 and died off after 1906, and finds that, post-partition, there were at least three similar prosecutions in Northern Ireland.","PeriodicalId":383312,"journal":{"name":"Studia Hibernica: Volume 48, Issue 1","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115026395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patrick is described by Tírechán as encountering magi relatively frequently: on a few occasions they oppose him, and are destroyed, but these cases seem to be exceptional. Patrick’s master during his time as a slave is said to have been a magus, whose children were Patrick’s first converts; other magi as well are described as accepting the new religion and entering the priesthood, and one of these magi-turned-priests establishes an ecclesiastical lineage that continues into later generations. Tírechán uses some Irish words that he claims derive from the magi, and the article considers his use of pagan terminology more generally. It is suggested that he may have derived his knowledge of the magi from a person or persons descended from them.","PeriodicalId":383312,"journal":{"name":"Studia Hibernica: Volume 48, Issue 1","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117262095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The journal was published between 1937 and 1965 from the Université de Fribourg in Switzerland, an institution that makes for an enlightening comparison with the Irish post-secondary sector of the same period, especially St Patrick’s College, Maynooth. Throughout its existence, the journal was published by the Hibernia society, which was made up of Irish seminary students at Fribourg. But its interests were broadly interdisciplinary, becoming gradually more so from the 1950s into the 1960s. The journal’s perspective could be generally understood as conservative, communitarian and culture-led. This perspective is not necessarily a matter of simple left-right alignment, however, and the article synthesises the journal’s legacy by elucidating the difference between two Francophone Swiss writers who were important to group behind the journal: Denis de Rougemont and Gonzague de Reynold.","PeriodicalId":383312,"journal":{"name":"Studia Hibernica: Volume 48, Issue 1","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123638666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Charitable loan fund societies differed from other early financial institutions because they were area-based philanthropic societies that sought to animate a philosophy of poverty relief that advocated self-help and self-reliance. They were institutional articulations of early modern ideas about the role and nature of charity and how charitable acts should be administered. This article explains the origins of the first charitable loan fund established by Dean Jonathan Swift in St Patrick’s Parish, Dublin city and provides new insights into the origins of the second loan fund operated by the Dublin Charitable Musical Society. It traces the spread of thirty-two charitable loan fund societies across Ireland in the second half of the eighteenth century and the first two decades of the nineteenth century and places them in the wider context of the associational culture that emerged in Ireland from the mid-eighteenth century. It provides a very brief account of the origins and modus operandi of each charitable loan society and argues that a critical factor impeding the greater spread of the loan fund schemes was a lack of capital.","PeriodicalId":383312,"journal":{"name":"Studia Hibernica: Volume 48, Issue 1","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132787861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
