The Diaspora and the Irish Revolution, 1916-1923
“As the Decade of Centenaries draws to a close, it is fitting to consider the role played by the Irish Diaspora during the Irish Revolutionary period and examine the impact that Irish emigrants and/or their descendants had on events in Ireland during this time.
By 1923, the exponential growth of the Irish Diaspora, primarily the product of almost eight decades of consistent and sustained emigration, meant that aspirations to, and interpretations of, Irish freedom were characterised by a range of definitions and expectations. The Irish diaspora, unlike the majority of other European diasporas at the turn of the twentieth century, maintained a strong link with the homeland. This connection with home facilitated, encouraged and directly influenced revolutionary activity in Ireland. This, perhaps, is most clearly seen in exploring the polarisation of diasporic republican experiences, primarily in the USA, and diasporic imperial experiences, in places such as Britain and Australia.”

Carlow College is situated in its own grounds on an eighteenth-century parkland and is known locally as St. Patrick’s College.
As such, Carlow College is ideally located in the heart of Carlow town. Over the years Carlow has educated generations of politicians, priests, writers and public officials who were leaders in the society of their time. Today’s students find employment in education, community work, the civil service, media and the social care field. A high percentage of our students proceed to postgraduate studies in the fields of Philosophy, English, History, Theology and Social Studies.
