1949 AD Douglas Hyde, the non - Catholic founder of the Gaelic League, and the 1st President of Ireland, died, and was buried in the Church of England / Ireland churchyard at Frenchpark in Co. Roscommon in the east of the Connacht Province while Sean T. O Kelly, had replaced him as the new Irish President, when elected previously by the Irish people who had then served 2 terms in office, as was "allowed" under the Irish Constitution. 

      The Irish Supreme Court suspended Habeus Corpus this year.

February 10th: General Elections, were held in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counies in the Ulster Province that were still under the control of the British Imperial Government and the Ascendancy "Official" Unionist Stormont Government there, and the Ascendancy "Official" Unionist Party "won," with 40 seats to the 12 won by the Irish Nationalists who were supported by the Fine Gael Coalition Government in the Irish Republic as under the ongoing "gerrymandering" carried out by the Ascendancy "Official" Unionists in the Stormont Government, only the "occupier" and his "wife," were now allowed to vote as per their 19th Century provision, which "disallowed" any other adult members of the "prolific" Irish Catholic families from "voting."

April - Easter Monday: After the Republic of Ireland had been "officially" declared, by John A. Costello the Taoiseach / Prime Minister of Ireland, a celebration was held, and Eamonn de Valera and his Fianna Fail Party members "did not" attend.            

May 3rd: The British Imperial Parliament, under Clement Atlee their Labour Prime Minister, passed the Northern Ireland Act, providing for the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province in 1922, just to continue to with the Ascendancy "Official" Unionists in Ireland, stating that these 6 Counties would never leave Britain, except by the "consent" of the Stormont Parliament there, which they then had "enshrined in law" at Westminster and this British Imperial Act, was to further ensure that 20% of the "population" of Ireland still had control over the Irish "minority" who still existed there in those 6 Counties in the Ulster Province, whether they agreed or not, where by "gerrymandering" of the vote they could continue to make "laws" to ensure the ongoing Ascendancy was retained. Much "suffering and misery" was to continue to occur because of this blatant decisionby those who were still in authority in Britain, who were not to face up to their "responsibility," and the reality of being fair minded, just to hold onto their "political affiliations," to ensure their own survival in the "politics" of it all. The British Imperial Government under their Northern Ireland Act, also came to recognise and declare that Eire / Republic of Ireland was no longer part of their British Dominions, and that Ireland was now able to have an Ambassador, not a High Commissioner in England. A subsidy was now also allocated by the British Labour Government Exchequer for Welfare in these 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province.

    The Irish Government refused to join N.A.T.O. due to the continuation of the "artificial partition" of their own Country by the British Imperial Government.

    The "unelected" Conservative controlled British House of Lords power of "veto" over British Government Bills in England was further "decreased" to One Year, from the Two Years previously finally imposed on them in 1911.

     The Clann na Gael / The Organization "split" again in America, over using the existing funds to carry on the fight for the return of the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province, and still under the control of the British Imperial Government in England and the Ascendancy "Official" Unionist Stormont Government, or whether to build a monument to "Sean Russell," which they eventually did and from now on the "Anti - Treaty IRA" received very little "support," and also became committed to Marxism, and now set their goals firmly on Irish Catholic "Civil Rights" and "Social Reform" in these 6 Counties, where "natural justice" and "human rights" for the Irish Catholic population there was continuing to be "abused."

1950 AD There was "economic co-operation" between the Irish Republic, and the "Official" Unionist Stormont Government in the 6 Counties that had been "artificially partitioned"" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province and joint schemes for drainage in the Erne Basin and the Erne Hydro Electric Station at Brookesborough in Ulster Province.

    The Irish Republic received $300,000,000 in "grants" and loans under the Marshall Aid Plan.

    The "Anti - Treaty IRA" was now led by Tony Magan, Patrick Mac Logan, and Thomas Mac Curtain the son of the Mayor of Cork who had been "assassinated" previously by the British Imperial Government's R.I.C / Black & Tans in 1921, who now stated that only the British Imperial Government in England was its "enemy," and that there would be no more "aggressive" action in the Irish Republic by their "Anti - Treaty IRA" members, but only in the "north," to try an end the "artificial partition" of the 6 Counties in the Ulster Province. These new objectives of the "Anti - Treaty IRA" was to be eventually passed onto Sean Cronin and Charles Murphy who were both "post war recruits," who would reset the "Anti - Treaty IRA" on a new path, with no member of the "Anti - Treaty IRA" who had previously been "interned" allowed to join, or who had a "criminal record," or showed any sign of lack of "discretion or sobriety."

    George Bernard Shaw, a vegetarian and teetotaller, who was a World renowned music and drama critic, playwright and Sociologist, who had been born in 1856 in Dublin, and who had wrote many plays, including "Arms and the Man," "Caesar and Cleopatra," "Man and Superman," "Pygmalion," "Back to Methuselah" and "Saint Joan," died at the age of 94 this year and he had also assisted in founding the "Fabian Society" in 1884 AD, involved in "political social reform" and won the "Noble Prize" in 1925. 

   Maurice O Sullivan (1904 - 1950) was "drowned" this year after he had left Ireland to join the "Civic Guard," who had written "Twenty Years A Growing."            

  Ernest Blythe, who was a non - Catholic Irish Nationalist in the Ulster Province, who had been the Minister for Finance in the "first" Irish Free State Government under William T. Cosgrave, wrote in The Leader newspaper that, "Partition was inherited from "bigotry", and reunion would only come with "free consent" of the voters in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" in the Ulster Province."  

   Lord Brookeborough was still the Ascendancy "Official" Unionist Prime Minister there in the these 6 Counties "artificially partitioned"" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province and Dungiven in Co. Derry in the north - east of the Ulster Province, which was one of these Counties was still mostly 90% Catholic Irish.
