Arranged in chronological order, these thousands of quotations and phrases provide a unique insight into Ireland. The cast of characters ranges from politicians and religious figures to poets and people simply caught up in the turbulence of the times. Key phrases such as unionist and republican; constitutional, unconstitutional, and slightly constitutional; left and right; feminist and fundamentalist; and clerical and secular have been used by those who fought and campaigned to shape Ireland to their viewpoint. With comments and reflections on Ireland from British prime ministers, royal family members, foreign political and media figures, and international leaders, this constitutes an invaluable reference book, a historical archive, and an endless source of information and amusement.
