IRELAND THEN AND NOW
An excellent contribution to the rte.ie/history website, ‘Ireland Then and Now’, is an ongoing project from photographer and artist David Cleary. In an interactive series, Cleary takes images from the archives and superimposes them on the exact location today, allowing us to pull the historic image across the contemporary and more familiar streetscapes.

Ireland and identity—why it matters
Nick Maxwell
A common thread in this issue is that ‘identity’ in Ireland over the past two centuries or so has not been immutable (‘two traditions’, ‘Ireland for the Irish’ etc.). In his article on William Sharman Crawford (pp 20–2) Peter Gray reminds us that political radicalism in Protestant Ulster did not entirely disappear in the nineteenth century in the wake of the bloody suppression of the 1798 Rebellion.
