1951 - 1954 AD
"Fianna Fail Party - Fine Gael Coalition."
1951AD The population in the 26 Counties in Eire was now 2,960,593, and in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province by the British Imperial Government, the population was now 1,370,921.
The
Abbey Theatre, in Dublin,
which had previously been
a morgue was "burnt" down this year.
The Irish Republic Government, and the "Official" Unionist Stormont Government in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province took over joint control of the Great Northern Railway linking Belfast in Co. Antrim in Ulster and Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster.
May:The Fine Gael Coalition Government in the Irish Republic in Eire now "split" up over their various differences, and also because of the Health Maternity Scheme introduced by their Health Minister, Dr. Noel Browne and a "General Election" was held, and the Clann na Poblachta Party, originally founded by Sean Mac Bride, had run it's race and was "decimated" in the election, while the Fianna Fail Party of Eamonn de Valera regained some seats, but not an overall majority, and although in the minority, with "Independent" support, they were to "regain" control of the Irish Government for another 3 years.
Eamonn
de Valera, the leader of the
Fianna Fail Party,
once again became the Taoiseach / Prime Minister
of the Irish Republic until 1954,
Frank Aiken was to be the Minister of
Agriculture also until 1954 and was then to become the
Minister of External Affairs,
which he
was to retain until his retirement in 1969. Sean Mac Entee
became the Minister of Finance, and there was also a new face in
Jack Lynch, who was destined to become the Prime Minister / Taoiseach in the future, and
Sean Lemass became the
Parliamentary Secretary.
Eamonn
de Valera's eyesight
was becoming more and more a problem to him, until he basically was to go
"blind," but still continued on in the office.
September: Charles
Haughey
/ Cathal O hEachaidh, who was
also to become a future Prime Minister
of Ireland also married Maureen Lemass the daughter
of Sean Lemass who also was to become a future
Irish Prime Minister / Taoiseach after the future retirement of
Eamonn de Valera.
In the
6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the
9 Counties in the Ulster Province,
which were still under the control of the British Imperial Government and the
Ascendancy "Official" Unionist Stormont Government, the Reverend Ian Kyle Paisley
had been born in Co. Antrim
in the north - east of
Ulster, whose father was a Baptist minister, he studied in
Wales, and eventually "purchased" his own doctorate from
the Jones College in America for
20 dollars and he went on to preach pure "base
ethnic
and religious intolerance"
in the name of God,
and through his words and actions he was to create "bloodshed," "murder" and "mayhem" throughout these
particular 6 Counties
in Ulster Province. During
this year, he was to form his own "Free Presbyterian Church
of Ulster," which had no connection with the actual
"Presbyterian Church" movement in the British Isles and he went
about preaching that the "Pope" was trying to rule
Ireland, and although he was "cunning, devious and catered to the most base elements" of
human kind, and the fact that he was to be behind many horrific events, he was in
no way "mentally deranged," just devious and
opportunistic, and at this time built up an
initial following of
1,000 members.
Matters were from now on to get even
"worse" for the
Irish Catholics in these 6 Counties in Ulster
Province, where their ancestors had dwelt for over
3,000 years, and also for the rest of the "general population" in these
6 Counties.
1952 AD A further 400,000 people were to "emigrate" from out of Ireland until 1962.
The Clann na Gael
/ the Organization in America who were for the return of the
6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the
9 Counties
in the Ulster Province, "split totally" with the
Sean
Russell anti - monument group.
In
the Irish Republic,
a portion of Loch Gara in Co.
Sligo in the north - west of the Connacht Province
was "drained," and 308
crannogs (lake dwellings) were found in the lake.
1953 In the 6 Counties
"artificially partitioned" from the 9
Counties in the
Ulster Province,
still under the control of the British Imperial Government,
Eamonn de Valera
approached Sir Winston Churchill the British
Conservative Prime Minister, man to man,
to return Roger Casement's remains to
Ireland, as
this had been his"wish" during his dying days before being
"executed" by the British Imperial Government, but
Winston Churchill told him although he
sympathised with him it "couldn't" be done, as it was
against British Law.
1954 May: In the Irish Republic,
Eamonn de
Valera, called a "General Election," where his party the
Fianna Fail Party, "lost" another
4 seats
and the election also, and a "second" Fine Gael Coalition
Government was in again, composed of the Fine Gael Party with
50 seats, the
Irish Labour Party with 19
seats, the Clan na Talmhan Party,
the
Clann na Poblachta Party and Independents who were all elected for 3 years until 1957 under the
leadership once again of
John A. Costello, as Sean Mac Bride still would not
accept Richard Mulcahy the leader of the
Fine Gael Party as the Prime Minister,
and
Sean Mac Eoin became their Minister for Defence until 1957.
In the 6 Counties
"artificially
partitioned" from the 9
Counties in the Ulster Province, still
under the control of the British Imperial Government and the
Ascendancy Stormont
"Official" Unionist Government, the Flags & Emblems Act
was introduced, which "banned" the
Flag of Ireland, and
the "Official" Unionist Stormont Government also made it an Act of Subversion to display the
Irish Flag on St. Patrick's Day,
and only the English Union Jack was "allowed" to be
displayed and as the "Official" Unionist Ascendancy "controlled" nearly
all the "property"
in these 6 Counties in Ulster
Province,
they also introduced a law where the "owner of
property" there would be entitled to " 1 vote
for each 10 pound valuation" thereof, giving them
individually up to 6 votes each. They also made
it law there that these "votes" could be
"transferred" to any other
Local Government area, which further suited their purposes of
"gerrymandering," and
if
there were any mention of the "unlawful" treatment
that was
handed out to the Irish Nationalist "majority" in
Co. Tyrone, Co. Fermanagh, Derry City in
Co. Derry, or any other
part of these 6 Counties in
the
Ulster Province, that they controlled in the British Imperial Parliament at Westminster it was ruled
"Out of
Order."
June 12th: In the 6 Counties
"artificially
partitioned"
from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province,
still under the overall control of the
British Imperial Government, because of the
continuing "blatant ethnic and sectarian" oppression being
constantly carried out on the Irish Catholic
population there without any recourse,
the
"Anti - Treaty IRA" became "active" again and on this day, they carried out their most successful raid,
"across" the
"artificial
border" on the Gough Barracks in
Co. Armagh in the south - east of
Ulster Province, one of the
6 Counties, which ensured further arms,
recruits and money, while other raids were not so
successful, with some of them being "captured,"
but they gained a great deal of "publicity" from these
activities
for their "committed" cause of reunification of
Ireland.
