Patrick Kavanagh s nasty libel case: There may be money in it

  In 1939 Patrick Kavanagh came to Dublin to work full-time as a writer. A daunting task at any time, in 1940s Dublin this was almost impossible. Kavanagh observed that “poetry is a luxury trade… a man has no business adventuring into it unless he has buckets of money”. Despite many war-time shortages, jealousy and petty snobbery were in plentiful supply. The big raw-boned Monaghan man striding Dublin’s streets drew sneers from city slickers. (On observing a man driving a manure cart, one wag said acidly: “I see Paddy Kavanagh is moving house”). Nonetheless, by the early 1950s Kavanagh was a well-known literary figure, having produced critically-acclaimed – if controversial – work such as The Green Fool and Tarry Flynn, and a long poem, The Great Hunger, which depicted the loneliness, depression and sexual frustration of the small farmer.

Irish Constitution: Real alternative to women in the home clause now needed

Is the provision of any use in the Constitution? One point which must be clarified about this provision is that it has never been of any benefit to women. While the position of women in society gradually strengthened over the decades, this provision was not part of that improvement. In fact, the few cases taken to court on the basis of this provision, confirmed a conservative interpretation which did not give rise to any rights and the only instances where the provision has had any impact have involved discrimination against men. For example, a social welfare payment for deserted wives but not for husbands was justified on the basis of this provision. Because of this we can say that it is very unlikely that this provision would be of any benefit in law and it certainly has not been of any use to date.
