Daniel O´connell
in a painting of 1838
donated by the Ulster bank group
titled "statesman".
= do you think the painter titled it "statesman"?
or is the sentance to be read
"courtesy"
any thoughts on this one?

take it down!

o'connell was no statesman; a conman & crook would be more like it. he only led the struggling masses on the basis that they raise a huge salary for him. he also voted against anti child labour acts in the house of commons.

and to cap it all, he stirred up mobs to run the chartists out of dublin.

why were the chartists in Dublin, Pat?

they were on a speaking & organising (i think) tour. i think it may have been mentioned in "history of irish trade unions" by boyd.

i'll try & track down more details.

i look forward to the article / more.

i know nothing about that period and would really like to know more as i´m sure other readers wuold too.
It always seemed strange to me that O´Connell got "moved around a lot" a bit like all the other "national" symbols of Ireland.
I didn´t like the 20punt note depiction.
and alwys was very suspect of the motives for rooting Irish nationhood in his "monster" campaigings. It seemed to dismiss the previous work or idealism of other less "Dublin FF/FG" of the 20th century crap Ireland people, if you know what i mean.
cheers Pat C.
