FOREWORD
~~~~~~~~

Well Christmas is nearly upon us and there have 
been some momentous developments in Ireland since 
the last newsletter.

The first involves the historic decision by the 
IRA in Northern Ireland to decommission their 
weapons. We have included an explanatory article 
by Joe Hayden on this subject below.

Less serious but just as dramatic is the success 
of the Irish National Soccer team in qualifying 
for the World Cup Finals in Japan and Korea in 
2002. See the News Snaps section below.

We have reprinted our article on Irish Christmas 
Traditions as we know just how popular it is, 
especially at this time of the year! We have also 
published an article by Roibeard McElroy who is 
a little bit upset about something!

I hope this message finds you and yours, 
safe and well.

Very Best Wishes from Ireland,

Michael.

NEWS SNAPS FROM IRELAND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IRA START TO DECOMMISSION THEIR WEAPONS

In a dramatic development in Northern Ireland the 
Independent body dealing with the decommissioning 
of weapons led by John de Chastelain have 
reported that the process of the destruction of 
weapons by the IRA has begun.

The breakthrough allowed for the reinstatement of 
the Northern Ireland Executive (the government) 
and the re-election of David Thrimble as First 
Minister.

HOUSE PRICES FALL SLIGHTLY

House prices fell by 0.8% in October, but the 
overall figure for the year so far shows and 
increase of 5.7%. This compares with a rise of 
16.55% in the same period last year. The current 
average cost of a house in Dublin is IR£190,000 
(approx US$210,000) and outside Dublin the cost 
is IR£127,000 (approx US$140,000).

RYANAIR OPEN NEW EUROPEAN BASE

The decision by Ryanair to open a new European 
base in Frankfurt instead of Dublin will cost the 
Irish economy the benefit of over 1 Million 
tourists next year, according to the company 
director, Michael O'Leary.

The decision to locate in Germany instead of 
Ireland is due to the poor facilities available 
and the excessively high costs imposed by the 
state airport manager, Aer Rianta.

Ryanair have already offered to build an extra 
terminal at Dublin Airport and to give the 
Terminal to the Government for free. So far 
they have not received a favourable response.

Irish tourism has been hit hard this year with 
overall visitor numbers down by 10% and visitor 
numbers from North America down by 20%

IRISH SOCCER TEAM QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP FINALS

The chances of Ireland qualifying for the World 
Cup seemed remote especially when drawn in the 
same qualifying group as the Holland and Portugal. 
But qualify is exactly what Mick McCarthy's team 
has done following the two play-off matches against 
Iran.

Ian Harte despatched a first half penalty in 
Dublin and this lead was doubled by Robbie Keane 
early in the second half of the first match. The 
Landsdowne Road crowd knew that Ireland had never 
won a playoff and that the concession of an 
'away' goal to the visitors would probably prove 
fatal.

The Iranians pressed hard in the second half and 
had two excellent chances to score, both being 
stopped by 'man of the match' Irish goalkeeper 
Shay Given.

The second match in Tehran was held in front of 
over 80 thousands fanatical spectators who knew 
that their team needed a 2-0 win to have any 
prospect of progressing. The early exchanges were 
tense with Iran having the better of the chances. 
Had they scored in the first half then the second 
may have been a very different affair from the 
dull stalemate that it was. Many of the home 
supporters had already drifted off home before 
the Iranians scored from a corner kick in injury 
time.

Irish manager Mick McCarthy must have had 
flashbacks to Skopje when Ireland were denied a 
place in Euro 2000 by a last minute Macedonia 
equaliser. 

He need not have worried. Less than 60 seconds 
later the referee brought the match to an end to 
provoke wild scenes of jubilation by the Irish 
team and management alike.

Mick McCarthy was in near tears in the press 
conference afterwards as the full impact of 
qualification dawned on him. That a country the 
size of Ireland should qualify for the World's 
biggest sporting event is an absolutely amazing 
achievement.

IRISH CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

Ireland, like most countries, has a number of 
Christmas traditions that are all of its own. 
Many of these customs have their root in the 
time when the Gaelic culture and religion of the 
country were being suppressed and it is perhaps 
because of that they have survived into modern
times.

THE CANDLE IN THE WINDOW

The placing of a lighted candle in the window of 
a house on Christmas eve is still practised today. 
It has a number of purposes but primarily it was 
a symbol of welcome to Mary and Joseph as they 
travelled looking for shelter.

The candle also indicated a safe place for priests 
to perform mass as, during Penal Times this was 
not allowed.

A further element of the tradition is that the 
candle should be lit by the youngest member of 
the household and only be extinguished by a girl 
bearing the name 'Mary'.

THE LADEN TABLE

After evening meal on Christmas eve the kitchen 
table was again set and on it were placed a loaf 
of bread filled with caraway seeds and raisins, a 
pitcher of milk and a large lit candle. The door 
to the house was left unlatched so that Mary and 
Joseph, or any wandering traveller, could avail of
the welcome.

THE WREN BOY PROCESSION

During Penal Times there was once a plot in a 
village against the local soldiers. They were 
surrounded and were about to be ambushed when a 
group of wrens pecked on their drums and awakened 
the soldiers. The plot failed and the wren became
known as 'The Devil's bird'.

On St. Stephens day a procession takes place where 
a pole with a holly bush is carried from house to 
house and families dress up in old clothes and 
with blackened faces. In olden times an actual 
wren would be killed and placed on top of the 
pole.

This custom has to a large degree disappeared but 
the tradition of visiting from house to house on 
St. Stephens Day has survived and is very much 
part of Christmas.

DECORATIONS:

The placing of a ring of Holly on doors originated 
in Ireland as Holly was one of the main plants 
that flourished at Christmas time and which gave 
the poor ample means with which to decorate their 
dwellings.

All decorations are traditionally taken down on 
Little Christmas (January 6th.) and it is 
considered to be bad luck to take them down 
beforehand.

TRADITIONAL GAELIC SALUTATION

The Gaelic greeting for 'Merry Christmas' is:
'Nollaig Shona Duit'
......which is pronounced as 'null-ig hun-a dit'.

NORTHERN IRELAND		by Joe Hayden

The recent decision by the IRA to decommission or 
'put beyond use' some of their stockpile of 
weapons and explosives is truly one of the most 
historic events in recent Irish history.

The purpose of this article is to give the reader 
an insight into the causes of the Northern 
conflict (the 'Troubles'), to illustrate who the 
main people and organisations that are involved 
are, and to put these into the modern context of 
the changed political landscape in Ireland.

To understand this issue we need to understand the 
causes so perhaps a brief history of Ireland is 
in order first!

Ireland was a Celtic and pagan country until the 
arrival of Saint Patrick in the fifth century. 
Christianity flourished and Ireland became known 
as the land of 'saints of scholars'. The era of 
the Viking invasions peaked in 1014 when Brian 
Boru defeated the Norsemen at the battle of 
Clontarf. From then on the Vikings became 
integrated into Irish society and it was not 
until the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1170 that the 
next wave of conquest in Ireland began. It was 
not until the Plantation schemes of Elizabeth I 
in the 16th century and the invasion by Cromwell 
in 1649 that the widescale 'planting' of settlers 
in Ulster began in earnest. Thousands of 
Protestant families arrived into Ulster and were 
granted lands that had previously been owned by 
the Gaelic chieftains.

The consequent 'Battle of the Boyne' saw the 
Catholic James the II defeated by the Dutch 
'William of Orange' and the resistance to the 
Anglo influx was thwarted. The enactment of the 
Penal Laws in 1704 was an attempt to subjugate 
the Catholic Gaelic way of life. Catholic mass was 
outlawed, speaking of the Irish language was 
discouraged, Gaelic names were anglicized into 
English.

Attempts by Grattan to establish a parliament in 
Ireland failed and the century ended with two 
notable events. The first was the founding of the 
Orange Order in 1795 which was set up to promote 
the interests of Protestant English settlers in 
Ireland, especially in Ulster (the organisation 
was named after William of Orange who had defeated 
the Catholic James II). The second event was the 
failed uprising by Wolfe Tone in 1798. The 
implementation of the Act of Union in 1801 saw 
Ireland become part of the United Kingdom.

The Catholic population were finally emancipated 
in 1829 by Daniel O'Connell ('the Liberator'), and 
the were now free to practice their religion. The 
Great Famine of 1845-49 had the effect of further 
devastating the old Gaelic culture as 1 million 
people died of hunger while another 1 million 
emigrated as a result of 'The Great Hunger'.

The Land War instigated by Davitt and Parnell 
resulted in a recoupment of much of the Irish 
countryside by the Irish themselves. The exception 
was in Ulster where the immigrants were in a 
majority.

It was clear that Ireland was ripe for revolution 
and in 1916 the Easter Rising set in train the 
events that lead to the War of Independence and 
the subsequent Civil War, the cause of which was 
the refusal by DeValera and his colleagues to 
accept the Anglo-Irish Treaty which saw the 
effective partition of the six counties from the 
rest of Ireland.

The forces of Michael Collins (the pro-treaty 
'Free State') overcame the anti-treaty forces 
(the 'irregulars') who fought a guerrilla war 
before eventually forming the Fianna Fail 
political party. The Irish constitution was framed 
by DeValera 1948 saw the declaration of an Irish 
Republic by Costello. The English government 
responded to the declaration by the implementation 
of the Northern Ireland Act, which created 
Northern Ireland as a separate country, still 
within the United Kingdom.

The vast majority of Catholics were in the South 
of Ireland and although the majority of people 
living with the 6 counties were of Protestant 
Unionist origin there still existed a large number 
of Catholics who considered themselves as Irish 
and nationalist in origin. The main impetus for 
the start of the 'Troubles' in 1969 was the 
inequality that the Catholic people felt they were 
suffering. The Civil Rights movement of the late 
60's culminated in 'Bloody Sunday' when 13 
Catholics were shot and killed by English soldiers 
who had been drafted into the Province by the 
English government.

The situation was clear and stark. On the one side 
were the Protestants who saw themselves as English, 
loyal to the English crown and the Act of Union 
(Unionists). On the other were the Catholics who 
were Irish and wanted the removal of the border 
and union with the Republic (a United Ireland).

The IRA and INLA fought a guerrilla war on behalf 
of the Nationalist side while the UDA, LVF and UVF 
did likewise for the Unionist side.

Literally thousands of people died and the 
communities became even more polarised while 
successive Governments seemed unwilling or unable 
to find a solution.

The ceasefire by the paramilitary organisations 
eventually culminated in the 'Good Friday 
Agreement' which is the framework upon which the 
current political process is today based.

The Unionists agreed to share power with the 
Nationalists in an elected government based in 
Stormont. In return the paramilitary organisations
would move towards a situation of demilitarisation 
and the English soldiers would be withdrawn from 
the Province. The Irish government would introduce 
a referendum on the issues in the South which 
would also see the Irish constitutional claim to 
the 6 counties removed.

The referendum was overwhelmingly accepted in the 
South (over 95%) whilst in the North the 
simultaneous referendum was accepted by over 71%.

Thus was created an entirely new situation where 
exclusively peaceful means would be employed by 
all sides. The new government in Ulster worked 
well until the issue of the decommissioning of 
weapons saw the suspension of the government on 
a number of occasions. 

The recent announcement that the IRA have begun 
this process is a real landmark as it shows the 
exact moment when the 'ballot box' has finally 
replaced the 'armalite gun'.

Before we put these events into context let us 
first name the main parties involved.

SINN FEIN: Represented by Gerry Adams and Martin 
McGuinness Sinn Fein is the political wing of the 
IRA who have seen there electoral appeal greatly 
strengthened by the role they have played in 
bringing nationalism into the mainstream

THE PARAMILITARIES: The Irish Republican Army 
(IRA) and the Irish National Liberation Army 
(INLA) are the main nationalist forces whilst the 
Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the Loyalist 
Volunteer Force (LVF) and the Ulster Volunteer 
Force (UVF) represent the Unionist side. 
The more militant side of nationalism is 
represented by the 'Continuity IRA' and the 
'Real IRA'.

SDLP: The Social Democratic & Labour Party is 
the more moderate face of nationalism in Ulster 
which has begun to lose support to Sinn Fein. 
John Hume was the leader at the time of the Good 
Friday agreement but he has now retired.

UUP: The Ulster Unionist Party represent the more 
moderate face of Unionism and have lost some 
electoral support as a result of their involvement 
with the new Northern government. David Thrimble is 
the leader of this party and is the First Minister 
(the 'Prime Minister') of the Northern Executive 
(the government).

DUP: The Democratic Unionist Party are the more 
extreme side of Unionism and contend that too many 
concession have been made to nationalists in 
Ulster already. Although the DUP have gained some 
support at the expense of the UUP recently it is 
unclear if the recent announcement by the IRA will 
bolster the UUP and reduce the appeal of this more 
extreme party. 

ORANGE ORDER: This is a Protestant organisation 
that holds marches every year, culmination in the 
July 12th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. 
The standoff at Drumcree where the Orangemen have 
been refused permission to parade in a 
nationalist area has been the main focus of the 
Order in recent years.

THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT: The Tony Blair led Labour 
party have shown a willingness to negotiate with 
the parties in Northern Ireland that the previous 
Conservative parties did not show. They are 
represented in Northern Ireland by the Northern 
Secretary, currently John Reid. They are also 
responsible for the allocation of British soldiers 
throughout the Province.

THE IRISH GOVERNMENT: Bertie Ahearn's Fianna Fail 
party have readily involved themselves in the 
Peace Process and participated in the North-South 
bodies which were set up as part of the Good 
Friday agreement. The new popularity of Sinn Fein 
in the Republic has caused a potential election 
problem for Fianna Fail as well as the other 
mainstream parties (including Fine Gael, Labour 
and the PDs).

So what does all of this mean today?

Well for the province of Ulster it has seen the 
quality of life improve dramatically. While there 
still exists an undercurrent of violence in 
certain areas it is clear that the bombings have 
stopped. The old hatreds and bigotries still exist 
but the people who promote them are becoming more 
isolated and shown to be extremists, little by 
little, day by day.

Many of the political leaders in the North have 
taken great risks in order to promote the peace 
process while at the same time having the voices 
of these extremists shouting at them at every 
turn.

The decision by the IRA to disarm was the last 
major stumbling block to a lasting peace 
settlement. Although the process can be 
completely agonising at times it has so far 
never failed to progress.

Anyone who has an opinion on these issues has had 
to re-examine their stance, especially given the 
fact that the other side are willing to 
compromise.

Like all negotiations, compromise is what will 
ultimately win the day.

As one commentator put it:

  ' Compromise MUST win the day.

  For after all, a child who meets you for the 
  first time does not know if you are Catholic 
  or Protestant but perhaps they do know that both 
  religions are Christian. A surgeon who operates 
  on a bullet wound does not know if you are Orange 
  or Green. All he sees is the red blood. '

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF IRELAND'S HERITAGE 
				by Robert McElroy
  
A country's heritage is integral to it's sense of 
identity, awareness, worth, pedigree and 
consciousness. Nowhere, is this truer and more 
pertinent than the Island of Ireland, for we have 
an abundance of heritage and sites of great wonder 
and mystique.

This land has been referred to, as a mystical Isle 
and in ancient times as 'Inis Fail', The Land of 
destiny.

However, when this truism is being called into 
question and undermined by powerful forces, 
lurking like some dreadful ogre from a gory 
horror story, then we must sit up and take notice!
  
I shall now elaborate on this, outlining and 
conveying the plight of Ireland's heritage. A very 
sad and lamentable state of affairs does it find 
itself in! 

OUR HERITAGE IS BEING SYSTEMATICALLY DECIMATED.

Thirty four percent has actually been wiped out, 
with an average of one site being destroyed every 
decade. The 'crime' is being enacted 
indiscriminately, but in particular, on Ring Forts 
and Holy Wells and ancient Churches remains.
  
Some Ring Forts date to possibly a thousand years 
B.C. They are remnants of our forefathers who 
built them with great vigour and skill. It has 
been argued that they formed some kind of 
astronomical alignment. This you will agree showed 
a people with an acute awareness of the world in 
which they were living. 
  
The ruins of ancient Churches were places of great 
reverence, some of which would have been places 
where learned Scribes congregated, making this 
Island an oasis of learning and enlightenment in 
the Dark Ages. One of which, in Co. Tipperary, 
dating from the 13th century was destroyed last 
year.
  
Finally, this 'cultural genocide' has even been 
inflicted on some megalithic stone cairns, e.g, on 
Loughcrew Hill, Co. Meath, which again are a 
legacy of our forefathers and their profound 
knowledge. These cairns are priceless gems and 
open the door to our mystical past!
  
The perpetrators of this wanton destruction and 
calamity are Farmers and Building Speculators, 
many of whom are seemingly able to act with 
impunity. Soon, there will be few heritage sites 
left! 

Is that what they want? To obliterate the 
resonances of our past and our ancient 
forefathers? To scythe-like sear and sever the 
very soul of our identity? Is this the price that 
must be paid in the far sweeping, onrushing tide 
of progress? Like a Ram battering ruthlessly 
anything that impedes the quick buck!
  
In conclusion, a Jamaican wise man and Prophet, 
Marcus Garvey, once uttered these words: 'A people 
without knowledge of their past history, origin 
and culture is like a tree without its roots'. Do 
we want future generations to be afflicted with 
this woe? That our heritage, Ireland's heritage, 
is no more? That our children can't behold the 
wonders of our past? Don't let it happen! Act now 
and publicise the plight of Ireland's heritage!
  
Roibeard McElroy
