1966 celebration was not an ‘orgy of the cult of the Rising’

Rory O’Dwyer reflects on what was the most significant State commemoration of the 1916 Rising up to now — and considers its impact on the Ireland of the time.

Ill-founded vendetta against writer who did not betray her country
Writer’s wartime role: a question of sources
Britain and Ireland were best of enemies back then
We don’t need yarns about the past to maintain good relations now
Anglo-Irish writer was helpful to both countries
Writer did an excellent job in her ‘spy’ reports to London

I CAN assure Martin Mansergh (Letters, Sept 9) that I have neither the inclination nor the power to excommunicate Elizabeth Bowen or anybody else from anything they might wish to be.

A laudable emissary, yes; a traitor, no

JACK LANE (Letters, August 20 and September 5) might desist from his continuing efforts to denigrate the memory of the writer Elizabeth Bowen, who is buried in Farahy Church, near Kildorrery in north Cork, of which I am a trustee (my family and hers are related by marriage). He has two grievances in particular against her: one, that she spied against Ireland, betraying Ireland’s interests/secrets to the British in WWII, and, second, on the basis of a fleeting, frustrated remark, that she hated Ireland.
