The United Irishmen and the 1798 rebellion in Ireland
200 years after its occurrence the 1798 rebellion remains an unanswered question looming over Irish politics. The bi-centenary, co-inciding with the
'Peace process' has attracted considerable discussion with the formation of local history groups, the holding of conferences and large scale interest in
the TV documentaries and books published around the event. It lacked the mass mobilisations of the 1898 centenary. On the 15th August 1898
100,000 people gathered at the top of Grafton Street in Dublin to take part in the dedication of the first stone of a statue of rebel leader Wolfe Tone. [eng]

THE MILITARY STRATEGY OF THE WEXFORD UNITED IRISHMEN IN 1798
Until recently historians of 1798 regarded the rebellion in Wexford as a spontaneous popular reaction to
unwarranted government repression and not part of a larger United Irish conspiracy. Scanty references to the
county in the manuscript record and the bitter, apparently localised, character of the Wexford conflict seemed to
support this interpretation. [eng]

The insurrection long delayed in the hope of the promised aid from France, now broke out under the worst possible conditions. for success. Left without leaders, it is astonishing that it should have been confined to only a portion of the country and that the efforts of the counties that ‘rose’ were speedily suppressed. [eng]
