O’Connell championed Catholic Emancipation and Irish
popular politics. In Britain his importance to liberal
reform transcended his role as an Irish leader. In the
United States those schooled in his ideas of mass democracy copied
his methods. He was remarkably liberal, realising and urging not only
the potential of emerging democratic forces but also the liberation
of slaves and Jewish Emancipation. He was of course, a famous
lawyer and played a prominent part in Irish business. Although
O’Connell was sometimes a controversial leader, his ideals are of
continuing national and international relevance. It is the aim of the
School to study this many-sided man, the qualities of his thought and
careers, and the modern application of these legacies.
Chuir Dómhnall Ó Conaill tús le cultúr nua i bpolaitíocht na
hÉireann agus na hEorpa. Duine mór le rá ab ea é sa Bhreatain agus
cáil air mar óráidí ag treisiú an liobrálachais. Eiseamlár do lucht
polaitíochta ins na Stáit Aontaithe ab ea é maidir lena shlite
polaitíochta agus mar a mheall sé an gnáth-phobal chun páirt a
ghlacadh i bpolaitíocht na tíre. D’fhág sé rian fé leith ar chás na
nIúdach agus cás na mílte a bhí brúite fé smacht ag an sclábhaíocht.
Dlíodóir iomráiteach ab ea é agus bhí baint mhór aige le cúrsaí gnó
na hÉireann. Déanfaidh an Scoil Samhraigh an méid seo a iniúchadh,
a scagadh agus a cheistiú.
