'There must be Order': The 1932 & 1933 Irish General Elections – Dr. Séan Ó Duibhir

Themed Lecture Series: Impactful Irish Elections Lecture 2 ‘There must be Order’: The 1932 & 1933 General Elections – Dr. Séan Ó Duibhir Regarded as amongst the most significant in the state’s history, the 1932 election, together with its ‘addendum’ contest in 1933, upended the electoral status quo and brought about a long-term rebalancing of political forces within the Irish polity. Moreover, these contests precipitated a trade war with Ireland’s nearest neighbour; briefly threatened a re-run of the Civil War between pro- and anti-Treatyite factions; prompted the development of a pseudo-fascist Blueshirt movement; and contributed to the abolition of the parliament’s upper house, sparking fears in some quarters of a creeping ‘de Valera dictatorship’. In this lecture, Dr. Séan Ó Duibhir addresses the context, the campaigns, and the consequences of the two elections that heralded the attainment of constitutional anti-Treatyite power, but also led to the consolidation of Irish democratic structures and the stabilisation of the state itself.
