@@eoinscully4567 that is interesting but I can't say I blame you, if you think KZread is starved of Irish Political History, Audible is even worse, it has Berties book, Fintan O'Tooles book on the Celtic Tiger, David McWilliams second book and Diarmuid Ferritars book on the troubles and that's literally it I'll try find some time to finish the audiobook certainly!

Just a shame he wasn't Taoiseach during the 50s, he would have done a better job in modernising Ireland than the ancient DeValera, who hated the modern world come the 50s.

@johnking5174 I think it is exaggerated how bad he was. For example he was a rugby fan so you can guess his view on the ban on foreign sports. Furthermore in terms of emigration, that was happening all over Europe (This is not to write it was not a problem.) and into the '80s at least Britain was a net emigrant country, the same with Scandinavia in the '50s. Furthermore in moral terms, his policies were in line with most Irishmen who you know voted for him (Whilst in the rest of Europe I doubt democracy was their goal when they liberalised just about everything.). Edit: I must also add that Éamon de Valera did not enrich himself out of his politics, and there is evidence that he was worried about money when leaving office. A lot of the issues presented here is pursuing "progress" for progress' sake.
