NEWS SNAPS FROM IRELAND
=======================
 
GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has confounded his critics 
as his ruling Fianna Fail party won 78 of the 
possible 186 seats in the Irish parliamentary 
elections. 83 seats are needed to form a 
government and it is now very unlikely that the 
opposition parties led by Fine Gael will be able to 
muster the numbers.

This has been an amazing election for Fianna Fail. 
The party looked certain to be dumped out of office 
as its election campaign faltered badly in the 
initial weeks. Allegations and questions about Bertie 
Ahern's personal finances distracted the electorate 
for well over a week at a time when all parties 
struggled to get their core message out.

The story subsided however and despite showing big 
potential losses in the opinion polls Fianna Fail 
finally got their act together and focused on the 
economy. The leaders debate between Enda Kenny and 
Bertie Ahern was also a high point for Fianna 
Fail as the differences between the vastly 
experienced Ahern and the idealistic yet untried 
Enda Kenny were laid bare. 

This was the turning point for Fianna Fail. They 
gathered momentum, raced up the opinion polls and 
managed to stage one of the most remarkable 
comebacks in recent Irish political history.

Pundits are at a loss to explain why. Perhaps it 
was the leaders debate, maybe it was the fact that 
the economy continues to do well and that the 
country has had over a decade of unprecedented 
growth. Maybe people just like Bertie Ahern. 
Whatever the reason it now seems certain that 
Fianna Fail will form a coalition Government 
although it is still unclear with whom they 
will do it.

FIANNA FAIL: Won 78 seats, down by 3. Gained 41.5% 
of the vote but still managed to get 47% of the 
seats thanks to their usual fantastic vote 
management in the individual constituencies. 
Surely there is no way a 'rainbow' coalition of 
smaller parties can coalesce to deny Bertie 
Ahern a third term in office?

FINE GAEL: With 27.3% of the vote this was a great 
resurgence for Fine Gael as they won 51 seats, up 
by 20 seats from the last election when the party 
was decimated. Their revival however was not at 
the expense of Fianna Fail but was more so at the 
expense of the PDS, independents and even their 
alternative government partners, the Labour party.

LABOUR: Got 10.1% of the vote but this was a poor 
showing by the Labour Party which saw them lose 1 
seat to finish on 20. Labour had hitched its 
election wagon to Fine Gael and seem to have paid 
the price. Questions are sure to be asked of party 
leader Pat Rabbitte as to why the party did not 
plough its own furrow and try to make a deal 
after the votes were cast.

GREEN PARTY: The Green Party achieved 6 seats in the 
new parliament from 4.7% of the total vote and 
thus made no gains. This is surprising considering 
the worldwide shift to awareness of the green 
agenda that is gathering momentum. The party made 
no commitment prior to the election to join an 
alternative government and this leaves it well 
placed to join up in coalition with Fianna Fail 
should Bertie Ahern make them an offer.

SINN FEIN: Several months ago Sinn Fein looked 
certain to make big gains in the election but 
their breakthrough simply did not materialise. 
Despite realising nearly 7% of the vote they 
only managed only 4 seats, or 2.5% of the total.

PDs: The Progressive Democrats were the big 
losers of this election. As part of the government
they could have expected to at least retain the 
majority of their 8 seats but in fact lost all but 
2 with party leader Michael McDowell retiring from 
political life in spectacular fashion. This is a 
disaster for the PDs who are likely to at least 
consider abandoning the party and integrating 
with Fianna Fail.

INDEPENDENTS Prior to the election there were 13 
independents but after the ballot only 5 remain. 
These may prove crucial in the formation of a 
government as Bertie Ahern may try to govern 
with the support of the 2 PDs and various 
independents. This would be a risky strategy as 
the numbers simply may not stack up on an issue 
by issue basis.

The overall turnout in the Irish election was 67%, 
up by 5% since 2002.

NORTHERN IRELAND PARLIAMENT IS RECONVENED

There have been amazing developments in the 
Northern Ireland peace process. The DUP led by 
Ian Paisley have reconvened the Northern Assembly 
in what is perhaps the most significant development 
since the peace process began a decade ago.

The sight of Ian Paisley sitting around a table 
with Sinn Fein is not something that was ever 
thought possible by some commentators. 
Nevertheless that is exactly what has happened as 
the new parliament gets on with the business of 
running Northern Ireland while leaving violent 
struggle behind.

A further significant albeit symbolic meeting 
occurred at the River Boyne when Ian Paisley met 
with Bertie Ahern at the site of the historic 
battlefield. 

FIRST SIGNS OF SLOW-DOWN IN ECONOMY

The ongoing slow-down in the property market is 
beginning to have an effect on the economy. At 
this stage it is not clear the extent to 
which the uncertainty over stamp duty has had 
on the property market. The formation of a new 
government in the next few weeks should settle 
that particular issue. The rise in interest 
rates has certainly had an effect on confidence 
in the housing market and these factors are 
beginning to filter through to overall economic 
performance.

Unemployment has risen by 6000 over the last 
six months to 156,000. This is still a 
relatively modest unemployment rate nationally 
but what is significant is that the downward 
trend has been reversed.

SALE OF 10-PACKS OF CIGARETTES IS BANNED

The sale of cigarettes in packs of 10 has been 
banned. Confectioneries that resemble cigarette 
products have also been banned. The new laws are
the latest in the continuing attempts by the 
Government to reduce the incidence of teenage 
smoking.

CHOCTAW NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS VISIT DUBLIN

Members of the Choctaw tribe have visited an 
Irish school. The trip is in remembrance of the 
1847 donation by the Choctaws of US$710 in aid 
of victims of the Irish famine. The sum of money 
(which was a significant amount at the time) was 
raised by the native Americans in an act of 
generosity that has not been forgotten by Ireland
even after a century and a half.

=================================================

THE CHILDREN OF LIR: AN IRISH LEGEND
====================================

There was a time in ancient Ireland when the 
people believed in magic and in druids and spells. 
These were the days of the Tuatha De Danann tribe, 
the Goddess Danu and of Lir, the lord of the sea. 

Lir's wife, Eva, had given him four beautiful 
children. The two eldest, Fionnuala and Aodh, went 
swimming in a small lake. But these were no 
ordinary swimmers! They possessed gills for 
breathing and webbed feet as they were, after all, 
the offspring of 'the ruler of the land beneath 
the waves'. 

They met a messenger who told them that they were 
wanted by their father. They went home immediately 
only to find their father disturbed. 

'What is wrong father?' they enquired
'Your mother has given birth to twins' he replied
'....and has gone off to rest'
'What do you mean father?' they asked 

Lir explained that this was what humans called 
'death' but that since they were immortal that 
their mother had gone to recover, possibly for a 
thousand years or more. The children were to look 
after the new brothers, Fiachra and Conn. 

The children kissed their mother for the last 
time and then left. 

As the children grew Lir's spirits declined until 
one day he met Aoife, the sister of his wife. 
Aoife was possessed of magical powers and soon 
enough it was known that she and Lir would marry. 
The new family thrived under the influence of 
their new mother but not for long as guilt and 
jealousy about the children's real mother took 
its toll on Aoifes health. She fell into sickness 
for a year but recovered only to start to become 
old before here time. 

Aoife was a changed woman now and one day 
suggested that she and the children should visit 
their grandfather. On the journey they stopped by 
a lake and she encouraged the children to go for 
a swim. The four children played happily in the 
water, not noticing that their stepmother was now 
standing at the waters edge wearing her fathers 
magic cloak. 

'For too long you children have stood between 
your father and I, but not for much longer!' 
she cried 

'We cannot be killed by you...' Aodh replied,
'...we are the Children of Lir and if you harm 
us our ghosts will haunt you!' 

'I’m not going to kill you.....' she shouted
'......but I am going to change you!' 

At this she bowed her head and started an 
incantation. The children looked at each other in 
fear as they saw a red and gold circle envelope 
them on the water. They saw Aoife open up her 
cloak from which the great light of a fireball 
emerged and hurtled towards them, burning all in 
its wake. 

The fireball hit the water and caused masses of 
steam to rise about the children and they soon 
lost all feeling in their legs, arms, shoulders 
and head. They soon regained their sight only to 
see Aoife laughing at them. Aodh tried to attack 
her and flailed his arms about furiously but 
nothing happened except the splashing of water. 
He turned to look at his brothers and sister only 
to see that they had all been turned into the 
most beautiful swans ever seen. 

Aoife scowled at them again and told them that 
they were to spend nine hundred years as swans, 
three hundred on Lough Derravaragh, three hundred 
on the Straits of Moyle and three hundred on the 
Isle of Inish Glora. To end the spell they would 
have to hear the bell of the new God. 

'I leave you with your voice however, and the 
most beautiful singing ever heard' she said. 

Lir searched for his children that day, but Aoife 
told him that they had been attacked and killed 
by wild boars. Fionnuala, now in swan form, 
approached her father and told him what Aoife had 
done. Lir was furious and banished Aoife into 
exile as an evil demon of the air. 

Lir faithfully visited his children and the power 
of his love ensured that their time on the lake 
was one of bliss. He knew though that the 300 
years of the first phase had passed and that the 
next phase of the spell was about to begin. The 
swans left for the Straits of Moyle, never to see 
their father again. 

Their time on the Northern Straits of Moyle were 
not so joyous, with frequent storms separating 
them, only for they to join up again. Another 300 
years passed but they had survived together. 

They departed the cold straits and made their way 
towards Lough Derravaragh. They flew over the 
land, hoping to find their father's fort, but it 
was now nothing more than ruins. They wept 
because they knew the time of the Tuatha De Danann
 was gone. 

They travelled West to the waters of Inish Glora 
and found refuge on a small saltwater lake where 
time passed slowly. One day an old man named Mochua 
visited the lake and the children enquired of him 
if he was a follower of the new God. The startled 
man asked if they were the children of Lir and 
they told him that they were. 

'Are you a holy man?' asked Fiacra.
'I am...' came the reply. 

The children knew that to break the spell that 
they would have to hear the bell of a new God 
toll in their own land. 

Mochua told them all about his new God and all 
about Saint Patrick who had brought his faith to 
their country. 

The children became excited as they knew that 
this was the new God their stepmother had told 
them of. They stayed with Mochua for many years 
who gave them sanctuary in a small chapel which 
he had built. He intended to make a bell and 
collected old swords, shields and other metal 
to make it. The bell was now completed and was 
about to be rung when another disaster occurred. 

A Warrior dressed in armour entered the chapel. 
He had come for the children who were famed for 
their wonderful singing. 

'I am Liargren, King of Connaught' he shouted,
'My wife desires those swans and I will have them.
Give them here or I will tear this building down.' 

Fionnuala looked at Mochua and then said that 
they would agree to go away with this King. 
Liargen was amazed to hear her speak but soon 
composed himself and ordered his men to take the 
children away. They were being loaded onto a 
carriage when suddenly, the church bell tolled 
loudly. 

Time seemed to stand still, but in another instant 
a great white mist had been blown off the nearby 
lake and enveloped the children as it had done 
900 years before. The mist changed into all of 
the colours of the rainbow before a great wind 
gusted it away. 

The children had at last been transformed back 
into human form. 

Liagren fled immediately, never to return. Mochua 
baptized the beautiful children who had begun to 
age rapidly and so it was that the children of Lir, 
the last of the Tuatha De Danann died soon 
afterwards, their legend to live on forever.

ODE TO A CELTIC PRINCE		by Christine Bode
======================

Twas a lass with emerald eyes and hair of 
burnished gold,
who dreamt time and again of an exotic island 
home,
where the wee faeries' magic could hush her 
yearning soul,
and be still her anxious spirit so she n'er again 
would roam.

Weary lass sank to her knees 'neath a weeping 
willow tree,
to take a shady break from her life-long urgent 
quest.
She closed her eyes, smelled the breeze and 
heard distinctively,
the lowly, plaintive sigh of a lonesome angel's 
breath.

'Oh dear Conor, you sweet thing, where have you 
been?
I have longed for you all of my life.
One touch of my hand and your essence revealed,
put an end to my heartache and strife.'

A more beautiful place she could never have seen,
though she's traveled far and wide for this 
glimpse,
And was led to a magic, ancient land of green,
by her search for a fabled Celtic prince.

The music of Ireland 'tis home for a poet's 
shrine,
the country fiddle, it will quiver, whine and 
wail.
The Gaelic harp can charm the most tortured of 
minds,
and the bodhran's beat tells its own haunted 
tale.

'Oh dear Conor, you sweet thing, where have you 
been?
I have longed for you all of my life.
And come so very far just to hear your sad song,
serenade me love, into the night.'

In yonder glen stood his Lord's noble castle'
thought she heard his footsteps through the bog.
He'd whisk her off to a proud sailing vessel,
while Gabriel's horn sounded shrill in the fog.

Alas, her prince was a phantom, elusive,
the spectre vanished o'er the cool, placid lake.
Not a limerick nor song could appease her,
her heart broke as she fathomed her fate.

'Oh dear Conor, you sweet thing, where you have 
been?
I have longed for you all of my life.
And I will surely cry when ye go away,
why'd you leave me to manage this plight?'

Christine Bode,
June 20, 1995

DERMOT AND STRONGBOW, AND THE INVASION OF IRELAND
=================================================

Dermot MacMurrough was the King of Leinster during 
the twelfth century and is most remembered as the 
man who invited the English into Ireland. 

He was born circa 1100 and succeeded to the throne 
of his father, Enna, in 1126. He was a ruthless 
leader and demonstrated the ferocity of the times 
by killing or blinding 17 rivals in 1141. He became 
involved in a dispute with the King of Breffney, 
Tiernan O'Ruark, whose wife he kidnapped in 1153. 
O'Ruark formed an alliance with Rory O'Connor who 
was the recognised High King of Ireland at the 
time. In 1166 this long-running and bitter feud 
resulted in MacMurrough being driven into exile 
by the Gaelic Chieftains. He fled to France.

Dermot MacMurrough was a deeply ambitious man who 
refused to accept his exile. He made his way to 
the Court of Henry II of England and offered to 
become a vassal to the King in return for military 
aid in retaking his kingdom. The king did not 
directly provide assistance but allowed MacMurrough 
to petition the Anglo-Norman lords. It was at this 
time that the Earl of Pembroke, Richard de Clare, 
later known as 'Strongbow', agreed to lead an army 
to Ireland. MacMurrough brought an advance party 
of adventurers back to Ireland in 1167, 
recaptured Wexford, and waited for Strongbow to 
arrive.

From his base in Wales Strongbow launched an 
offensive in 1170, capturing Waterford and Dublin, 
taking control of the East coast, much to the 
dismay of the Gaelic Chieftains and O'Connor. To 
cement the alliance, MacMurrough married his 
daughter Aoife to Strongbow, in Christchurch 
Cathedral in Dublin 1170. 

The Irish Chieftains did not allow the invaders 
to settle however and they were continually 
attacked and harassed. At one stage it seemed 
likely that they would be driven from the country 
if it were not for the support given by Henry II, 
who had become concerned with the amount of power 
and influence that Strongbow was amassing across 
the Irish sea. It is speculated that Henry II 
feared that Ireland might be used as a base by 
the Saxons to launch an offensive back into England 
in the wake of their defeat at Hastings in 1066. 
The subsequent domination of South Wales by the 
Normans was a result of the need to keep supply 
lines into Eastern Ireland open.

Dermot MacMurrough died in 1170 leaving Strongbow 
to declare himself King of Leinster. His later 
support for Henry II in France led to his being 
named Governor of Ireland. He died in 1176 
suffering an infection during a raid by Irish 
rebels. 

Much of Ireland was still under local influence 
and it only was the East coast, known as 'the Pale', 
that remained in Norman control. Henry granted 
these lands to his son 'Jean Sans-terre' (or John 
Lackland) in 1185 creating the 'Lordship of 
Ireland'. It seemed likely that Ireland would 
remain a minor Kingdom except that fate intervened. 
The death of his elder brothers allowed Jean 
Sans-terre to succeed to the English throne, 
becoming King John of England and the Pale 
becoming part of English dominated territories.

Demot MacMurrough has for centuries been blamed 
as the man who caused, or at least facilitated 
the invasion and subsequent subjugation of Ireland
by outsiders. Recent revision of this history 
however, have been less critical of his actions.

It is likely that the island would have eventually 
been dominated by its larger neighbour even 
without Dermot MacMurroughs prompting. The 
unwillingness of the Gaelic Chiefs to form a 
Kingship with defined rights of succession 
certainly made invasion and domination easier. It 
was also not uncommon of the times for Gaelic 
Chiefs to seek help from foreigners in combatting 
their local enemies.

Despite this more generous interpretation of his 
actions, it will always be Dermot MacMurroughs 
lust for power, bringing the English into Ireland, 
for which he will be most remembered.

FAMOUS IRISH SONGS: DANNY BOY
=============================

Dannny Boy is one of over 100 songs composed to 
the same tune. The author was the English lawyer, 
songwriter and entertainer, Frederic Edward 
Weatherly (1848-1929). He wrote the lyrics to 
Danny Boy in 1910 but only used the traditional 
tune when he was sent the 'Londonderry Air' by his 
sister-in-law in 1912. The song was republished in 
1913. Alfred Perceval Graves was a friend of 
Weatherly but the two fell out when Graves claimed 
that his friend had stolen some of the lyrics that 
Graves himself had written for the song. The tune 
was also known as the 'Air from County Derry'.

The earliest appearance of the tune in print was 
in 1855 in 'Ancient Music of Ireland' by George 
Petrie (1789-1866) when it was given to Petrie by 
Jane Ross of Limavady in County Derry, who claimed 
to have copied the tune from an itinerant piper.

The song became very popular in America where it 
was recorded by Bing Crosby. It has been used by 
many Irish traditional and even rock musicians 
ever since. The famous Irish rock band, Thin Lizzy, 
used the music on their 1979 album, 'Black Rose'. 

It remains one of the most popular and well known 
Irish love songs of all time.

~~~

Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an 'Ave' there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
