                                                                                                                        "Young Ireland Association -  Irish League of Youth." 

1933 AD January 2nd: Eamonn de Valera the Taoiseach (leader) of the Irish Free State (26 of the 32 Counties of Ireland) dissolved the Irish Free State Parliament without discussing it with "any one" else and notified all of his Ministers, one by one, of his decision while the "abolition" of the "Oath to the British King" was still being held up in the Senate, which was still under the control of the Cumann na nGaedheal Party "Opposition," and according to his plan in the following General Election the Fianna Fail Party was to win "again," but this time with an "overall majority" in it's own right becoming "independent" also of the Irish Labour Party.

February 18th: The "Anti - Treaty IRA" who had become more assured of their position in the scheme of things were by beginning to also "fall out" with Eamonn de Valera and the new outright Fianna Fail Party Government in the Irish Free State.

February 22nd: Eoin O Duffy the Head of the Garda (Irish Police) in the Irish Free State who was the Irish Commissioner of Police, was "dismissed" by Eamonn de Valera the Taoiseach (leader) of the newly elected Fianna Fail Government, and was replaced with Colonel Broy.

April: The "Anti - Treaty IRA" leaders now decided the time was right to push on with their "Socialist" agenda and they came out with a plan for "public ownership" over the production, distribution and control of all Irish goods.

May: The Irish Free State Bill to remove the "Oath to the British Crown" was passed this month in the Dail Eireann / Irish Assembly.

July 20th: Eoin O Duffy the previous Head of the Garda (Irish Police) now became the "leader" of the Irish National Guards, an association that was previously formed from the Irish Army Comrades Association, sometimes also known as the Blue Shirts, who were originally set up to "protect" freedom of speech in Ireland, especially against the stand over actions of the "Anti - Treaty IRA" auxiliaries, and they too also wanted a United Ireland composed of the 32 Counties, "abolition of strikes and lock outs," and the suppression of "Communism."  

August 13th: Eoin O Duffy the new leader of the Irish National Guards / Blue Shirts planned a march by his members to "revive" the memory of the laying of the wreaths on Kevin O Higgins and Michael Collins graves, and Eamonn de Valera displaying his particular personal "staid temperament" came out and "banned" the holding of such a parade and hastily set up the Special Branch, and instead "revived" the public safety measures of the previous Cuman na nGaedhal Coalition Government who had been under under the leadership of William T. Cosgrave, which he had previously also "repealed." He then brought back the Military Tribunal that was previously also set up by William T. Cosgrave, which he had also recently "repealed," and also declared the Irish National Guard an "illegal" organization, so in response Eoin O Duffy "called off" the parade to commemorate the contribution of Kevin O Higgins and Michael Collins and changed the name of the Irish National Guards to the "Young Ireland Association."

September 8th: All of the parties who were now in "Opposition" to Eamonn De Valera's Fianna Fail Government, in the Irish Free State, which included the Cumann na nGaedheal Party, the Centre Party / Farmers, and the National Guard / Blue Shirts under Eoin O Duffy, now "combined" to become a new "political "party to be known as the Fine Gael Party (The Tribe of the Gaels) and Eoin O Duffy became it's 1st President, with William T. Cosgrave acting as the Vice - President up until 1935.

      Eamonn de Valera the leader / Priomh Aire of the Fianna  Fail Party who were now the Irish Free State Government, whose original platform had been for a United Ireland / Irish Republic had still given no "consideration" to the problem of the "artificial partition" of Ireland or the 6 Counties " artificially partitioned" by the British Coalition Government from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province so far during his period in office, which was "upsetting" to the proponents of a United Ireland.

October: "Sectarian" and "ethnic" riots occurred once again in Belfast in Co. Antrim in the north - east of the Ulster Province in this County that was one of the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" previously by the British Imperial Coalition Government from the other 26 Counties in Ireland, which were still under the control of the British National Coalition Government and the "Official" Unionist Stormont Government, when their R.U.C / Royal "Official" Unionist CUB police "baton charged" the Irish Catholics there in Belfast.

November: An Irish Free State Bill was now passed in the Irish Free State Parliament / Dail Eirenn to remove the British Governor General's special position previously held in Ireland giving his functions over to the Irish Free State Executive Council of recommending "Money Bills," and also of withholding assent to Irish Free State Bills, and they also "terminated" any "Right of Appeal" for anyone in the Irish Free State to the British Privy Council in London.

November 9th: Eamonn de Valera as the leader of the Fianna Fail Party Government in the Irish Free State (26 Counties of the 32 Counties of Ireland) could not "understand" the continuing attitude of the "Anti - Treaty IRA," as he had previously "abolished" the "Oath to the British Crown," but had made no move on the re - unification of Ireland and they now both began to openly "disagree," and the more militant "IRA / Anti - Treaty" members had begun to drill again more openly.  

December 8th: The former Irish National Guards / Blue Shirts, in the Irish Free State, under the leadership of Eoin O Duffy, which had recently undergone a name change to the "Young Ireland Association," to get around Eamonn de Valera's prohibition was also still out there parading, and were also still involved in trying to "protect" the political members of the individual Irish Free State's "Opposition" speakers, but it too was now also "banned" because of their constant clashes with the members of the militant "Anti - Treaty IRA."            

December 14th: Eoin O Duffy in the Irish Free State changed the name of the "Young Ireland Association" once again into the "Irish League of Youth," to get around the new "ban" by Eamonn de Valera with the stated aims of protecting "free speech," resisting the payment of Land Annuities to the Government and withholding local rates.

      George Moore who had been born in 1852 who had been against British Imperialism and their previous Boer War, was from Loch Carra in Co. Mayo in the west of  the Connacht Province and who had been also involved in the Gaelic revival, died.

    In the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province still controlled by the British Imperial National Coalition  Government and the Ascendancy "Official" Unionist Party Sir Basil Brooke stated that the "Irish Catholics there are "disloyal" and should not be "employed" and he also introduced the "Special Constables Act" to create their own non - Catholic "B" Special Reserve police force there.

    Hugh Mac Ateer / Mheic an tSasanaigh now joined the "Anti - Treaty IRA;"

    Eamonn de Valera the Taoiseach (leader) of the Fianna Fail Irish Free State Government was also "re - elected" as an M.P. for the "seat" there in South Co. Down in these 6 Counties, "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Uster Province,  

     In Geevagh in Co. Sligo in the north - west of the Connacht Province in Ireland this year, the "waters" of Loch na Suil disappeared through Balor's Eye just as it does every 100 years.
