<p>Okay,Boys andGirls:</p>
<p>Here we go again......an alleged "literary historian" in the 1700's committed "Literary Larceny" and faked evidence that the grand epic canto's of Ossian were "Scottish".</p>

<div>I'm writing to you in the hope that you could assist in solving some unsolved mysteries. Having been elected as President of the Irish Association for the Blind in 1938, Hardebeck's Association published a vast array of books for the blind using Gaelic Braille (which he himself devised). </div>
<div>Unfortunately, I have not been successful in locating any of these books. I've also had no luck in locating Hardebeck's<i>Irish Music</i>, the book he began writing in the 1920s.</div>
<div>If you can help in any way, I'd be delighted to hear from you.</div>

<p>Hello, hello,</p>
<p>While researching my family history, I came upon the term RIC and was so graciously told that it stands for Royal Irish Constabulary. I found that my great uncle Con Shea had moved from Kenmare, Co. Kerry to Co. Clare to enlist (if that is the correct term). I've slightly touched upon what the RIC is, and wondering if there is anyone familiar with this that can shed more light.

My biggest confusion comes in where I have read that the RIC were more of a military company, and they may not have been looked upon too nicely. My great uncle was catholic, were ALL RIC Catholic? Did they take a side in the conflict?</p>

<p>If we were really serious about engaging with our scattered Irish diaspora, we would allow them to emigrate here and work and contribute to Ireland inc, and take out citizenship. As it stands, most of our 'cousins' who would love to carry an Irish passport (and pay well for it) are prevented from doing so by our citizenship laws which were changed to exclude third generation Irish in the 1990's, and thus very few Americans, or Argentinians, or Australians, or Canadians ever consider coming here to live, retire and work as our residency visa laws are archaic! Ireland's loss surely...and a wee bit of green-tinted paper is a poor substitute for the real thing. Most Irish in those countries trace their Irishness to a man or woman who fled Ireland in the period 1840-1900. Our law on claiming Irish citizenship really only allows 20th century emigrants descendants to claim an Irish passport (you are limited to having had a parent or grand-parent born in Ireland). We have effectively denied all Irish rights to the bulk of our diaspora, the descendants to the poor, desperate and incredibly brave ones who left Ireland in the decades immediately after the Famine. Personally I would offer passports to anyone who can prove their lineage from that period. They after all paved the way for the rest of us, sent monies home and kept the home fires burning, and very many of them got precious little thanks for it!

<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I am currently undertaking a project in conjunction with the National Library of Ireland to produce a photo history of the Fenian movement from 1858-1927. The project is called Conspiracy and will be published by Irish Academic Press. I wonder if any members would have photographs of family members who were involved with any of the following organisations:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. The Fenian Brotherhood</p>
<p>2. The Irish Republican Brotherhood</p>
<p>3. Clan na Gael</p>

<p>I am also interested in Fenian Canadian raids and any photographs of memorabilia you may have related to the Fenians. Any photographs of O'Donovan Rossa and John Devoy (particularly with reference to their removals from America to Ireland for their funerals) are also appreciated. If you would like to contact me about this project my email is shkenna@tcd.ie and my website <a href="http://www.shanekenna.ie">www.shanekenna.ie</a>. </p>
