An Irish American Artist’s Brush with Ireland

By Anthony Glavin

June 1992

July 22, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Not every artist who dies abroad enjoys a home burial, though homage is generally paid– to Joyce in Zurich, or to Keats in Rome. Such is sadly not the case, however, for James Fitzgerald, a highly regarded twentieth-century American painter who died on Aranmore Island, County Donegal, in 1971, and whose grave is seldom – if ever – visited in Dublin’s Mount Jerome Cemetery. Yet, … [Read more...] about An Irish American Artist’s Brush with Ireland

In 1970, at the age of 22, Bernadette ‘Devlin' McAliskey was elected to represent the constituency of Mid-Ulster, which includes her home area of East Tyrone. Although she is no longer a Member of Parliament, and her international profile has receded, this radical Republican activist is still a kind of people's tribune in her own embattled nationalist community. Nowadays … [Read more...] about Deadly Tales from County Tyrone

A Message From An Taoiseach The Budweiser Irish Derby is a great sporting occasion, the centerpiece of the Irish horse-racing year and a wonderful advertisement for Irish racing and the Irish bloodstock industry.

Writer Mary Pat Kelly and photographer Martin Sheerin visited the Ulster-American Folk Park at Camp Hill, County Tyrone, in the North of Ireland which houses the ancestral home of the Mellon family.

September 19, 1880

The term “boycotting”- a form of non-violent protesting – entered the English language on this day in 1880. Coined by Charles Stewart Parnell in his speech on land tenants at Ennis, he said, “I wish to point out a better way, a more Christian way which will give the lost man an opportunity of repenting. When a man takes a farm from which another has been evicted, you must shun him on the roadside, on the streets, in the shop and even in the place of worship by putting him in a ‘moral Coventry.’ You must show him your detestation of the crime he has committed.”
