NI 100: A tale of two villages and Irish partition

When Northern Ireland came into being a century ago, the everyday lives of those living along the border - on both sides - changed overnight.
For Angela Graham s grandparents, Protestant unionists from the village of Drum in County Monaghan, it was a new and difficult dawn.
One night they went to bed British and the next morning they woke up Irish. It was an imposed partition, she said.
Her grandfather George Reilly fought for the Army in World War One.
Two years before, his relatives were among 12,000 unionist men in County Monaghan, who signed the Ulster Covenant in protest against Home Rule. ....

Life, love and loss on the road to partition


Where were my women on May 3, 1921? Did they dance on the streets and wave flags when Northern Ireland was born? Were their struggles any different when they woke up the next day?
The women in my family were ordinary Protestants from Belfast and Newry. Their stories have not been overly preserved. I have suitcases of clippings on war heroes and handed-down tales of notable men. But I have fewer tools to discern how my women experienced their lives 100 years ago. I ve used official records, newspaper archives and fragments of family memories to piece together their lives.
I wanted to see what could be learned by excavating the truly ordinary. None of my women did anything famous, or infamous. But they glued their own worlds together. And sometimes they fell apart. Imagining their lives during partition is my small tribute to them. As well as an exploration of Protestant women s lives at this time. ....

A different view of the causes of partition for Trevor to consider


A different view of the causes of partition for Trevor to consider
05 February, 2021 00:59
Given Trevor Ringland’s comment (January 22) I thought he might consider a different view of the causes of partition.
All threat of civil war and Armageddon came from Ulster unionists who Trump-ishly refused to accept an all-island majority’s democratic entitlement to see a home rule parliament in Ireland.
Home rule, as envisaged by John Redmond and the British government, was to be firmly ensconced within the imperial order and more importantly there was to be no diminution of Westminster’s supremacy. Ulster unionists, however, would under no circumstances countenance any variant of home rule in which Catholics would be the pre-eminent power holders. Against this background, unionists demanded a framework of six counties, judged sufficiently Protestant enough, to meet their sectarian calculations, for the raising of a Protestant fiefdom.  Downsizing ....
