From the editor
On 2 October 2009, Irish people will decide the fate of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (EU), commonly referred to as the Lisbon Treaty. Michael J. Geary looks back at the first time we voted on a European treaty in May 1972.
Newspaper cartoons can be used very effectively to convey political opinion, especially disapproval of policies and individuals. Felix Larkin looks at a good example, the ‘Shemus’ cartoons that appeared in the final years of the Freeman’s Journal in the early 1920s.
Damian Lawlor reflects on the triangulation of commemorations and wonders why the centenary of a youth organisation that played a significant role in the major episodes of the Irish revolution finds itself in a different type of triangle— of the Bermuda variety.
