The ''United Irishman'' was a nationalist weekly newspaper published by John Mitchel in Dublin in 1848. It was suppressed by the British Government the same year. History From 1845, John Mitchel had been invited by Charles Gavan Duffy, co-founder and first editor of ''The Nation'' (a paper supporting Daniel O'Connell's Repeal Association) to write for that paper. He became part of the Young Ireland movement and after the schism in the Repeal Association, he formed the Irish Confederation, with Thomas Reilly, William O'Brien and led by Thomas Meagher.

Other Young Ireland contributors included John Martin, Thomas Devin Reilly and the nationalist Roman Catholic priest, John Kenyon. The contents included articles ...

Manager (Gaelic Games)
In Gaelic games, a manager or (in Irish) ''bainisteoir'' is involved in the direction and instruction of the on-field operations of a team. The role entails the application of sport tactics and strategies during the game itself, and usually entails substitution of players and other such actions as needed. At games, the manager may sometimes wear a bib with the word "manager" or "''bainisteoir''" adorning it. Many managers were former players themselves, and are assisted in coaching the team by a group of selectors (in Irish ''roghnóirí''). History The term "manager" emerged in the 1970s owing to the influence of the BBC programme ''Match of the Day''. A portion of the east coast of Ireland, including Dublin, was able to receive the channel and programme, which showed coverage of association football, where "manager" was the common term used for the coach or supervisor of the team. This later played a role in changing the management structure of Gaelic Athletic Association tea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
