2021 saw the centenary of the formation of the League of Ireland, the Republic of Ireland’s primary professional association football league. This new collection draws on the work of a number of leading historians of Irish soccer and seeks to examine a number of previously under-researched aspects relating to the league. The book examines the initial growth of clubs in Dublin and the Free State League’s early turbulent history, while the impact of Irish players and administrators on the development of soccer clubs at home and abroad is also assessed. Following the partition of Ireland in 1921, players continued to move from Dublin clubs to those in Northern Ireland and this is also discussed, particularly in light of the Troubles of 1968–1998. Despite the migration of many Irish-born players to Britain, the League of Ireland has also attracted internationally based players and the impact of this is also examined. The role of the league in the provision of players for the Irish Olympic team is also explored, as is the work of SARI in its attempts to eradicate racism from Irish sport. This publication aims to commemorate some of those who have strived to maintain the League of Ireland’s presence against the backdrop of what has become the world’s most attractive football league, located in Ireland’s neighbour, England. It will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of Sports, History, Sociology and Politics. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Soccer & Society.

This book assesses association football’s history and development in Ireland from the late 1870s until the early twenty-first century. It focuses on four key themes—soccer’s early development before and after partition, the post-Emergency years, coaching and developing the game, and supporters and governance. In particular, it examines key topics such as the Troubles, Anglo-Irish football relations, the failure of a professional structure in the Republic and Northern Ireland, national and regional identity, relationships with other sports, class, economics and gender. It features contributions from some of today’s leading academic writers on the history of Irish soccer while the views of a number of pre-eminent sociologists and economists specialising in the game’s development are also offered. It identifies some of the difficulties faced by soccer’s players and administrators in Ireland and challenges the notion that it was a ‘garrison game’ spread mainly by the military and generally only played by those who were not fully committed to the nationalist cause. This is the first edited collection to focus solely on the progress of soccer in Ireland since its introduction and adds to the growing academic historiography of Irish sport and its relationship with politics, culture and society. The chapters in this book were originally published an a special issue in Soccer & Society.

From 1923 to 1946, Ireland was a committed, though critical, supporter of the League of Nations. Under Cumann Na Gaedheal and the foreign ministries of Fitzgerald and McGillgan, the state's policy was that of a radical. Ireland constantly sought to uphold the covenant and further the work of the League in the face of great power criticism. This was recognised with the Free State's Election to the League Council in 1930. Under Fianna Fail, de Valera built upon his predecessors' achievements and Ireland became a mature and influential League member. By the early mid-1930s, the Irish were involved in nearly all of the League's most important projects; and the great powers, such as Britain, recognised Ireland's role as one of the influential 'small states' in the League. The late 1930s saw the League decline after Italy's invasion of Abyssinia. Ireland still supported the League, but in a theoretical manner, as de Valera steered Ireland towards neutrality in the looming conflict. This book analyses Ireland's policy at the League in Geneva and the development of League policy in Dublin against the background of the turbulent inter-war years. It examines the personalities and issues behind policy and analyses their execution in Geneva. It draws on analysis of previously unseen material recently released from the Department of Foreign Affairs archives. This book is a fundamental reassessment of Irish foreign in the inter-war period.

Terrorists and United States Special Forces descend on Paris when Lola Parks stumbles upon top secret information that could get her killed. Lola Parks has waited twelve years to exact revenge against the man who destroyed her family and compelled her into a nomadic life as a master thief, stuck in a constant cat-and-mouse game to avoid Interpol. When she breaks into Claude Marquis’ wine cellar to steal a crate of extremely valuable wine—the last of her family’s legacy—Lola stumbles across highly classified information that could get a national leader, and Lola herself, killed. Dimitri Tobias forced himself apart from Lola for more than a year, terrified he would lead Jack Barnes, a British crime boss who wants Lola dead, to her doorstep. But when Interpol approaches Dimitri with new evidence about Lola’s crimes, and terrorists blow up her Paris flower shop, Dimitri realizes Lola needs him now more than ever. The problem? It’s going to take a lot more than the threat of prison or terrorists’ wrath to scare Lola back into Dimitri’s arms. Can Lola let go of her anger toward Dimitri and her need for revenge long enough to escape the men who want Lola dead? Or will she find that Dimitri’s desires for her are far more dangerous? In A Thief Consumed, Parks abandons her unrealistic desire to break away from a life of crime. Instead, she discovers being a well-known, internationally-wanted thief just might get her exactly what she wants. Download A Thief Consumed,and raise a toast to friendships betrayed, plots of political assassination laid, and debts of revenge repaid. You’ll be up all night drinking in this one!
