Talk:Eoin MacNeill

message: 1. Link "Padraig Pearse" with the existing Patrick Pearse page.
2. Mention that MacNeill only agreed to support action because he believed suppression of the Volunteers was inevitable once the British discovered the Volunteers were receiving arms from Germany. He reversed this position when he discovered the shipment was lost, which basically reverted his stance to the one he held all along: that the the Volunteers should take action only if attempts were made to supress them, disarm them, or if concription were introduced to Ireland.
3. Mention both the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Easter Rising by name.

It's wrong to say that, on the Boundary Commission, Dublin "reluctantly gave in"; it was voted for by 71-20 in the Dail. MacNeill resigned because Cosgrave went over the head of the entire commission by starting a direct negotiation with London, and traded the 'imperial debt' for acceptance of the border as it was.Red Hurley 13:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Can anyone say with authority why MacNeill resigned his ministry in 1925, supposedly in protest at the Boundary Commission debacle, yet when it came to the vote on 10 December he voted in favour of the status quo? That seems illogical, or did he have a reason to change his mind in the interim?86.42.204.237 (talk) 11:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Boundary Cmn

message: I'm planning to expand this article a bit (mainly with info regarding EMN as a scholar), and if I get around to do so I suggest a slight restructuring. It does make sense as currently to organise the article thematically and not chronologically (separate politics from scholarly work), I'd like to make the headings more consistent and move some bits and pieces of the content around. Proposed headings:
* 1. Early life and family
* 2. Nationalist and revolutionary
* 3. Politician
**Irish Boundary Commission (as subheading here)
* 4. Scholar
Section 2 should discuss his early interest in Celtic language and culture, which led him into his scholarly career as well as into politics. These are just some thoughts from the top of my head right now - but I'd like to get some feedback in case anyone should have serious objections. Finn Rindahl (talk) 10:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thematic structure works for me, but if his academic interest led to his revolutionary politics should that not come first as a 'token' to chronology? RashersTierney (talk) 11:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think his Irish interest led to his revolutionary politics as well as to his academic studies. As for chronology, he was indeed an acknowledged scholar and professor before his political career started (for real), but on the other hand he gave up politics after the general election of 1927, while he remained an active scholar until 42/43. Anyway, on second thought it might be better if I try to add some more info first and then we can figure out how to structure the chronology. Finn Rindahl (talk) 11:26, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Go for it. The order of sections can always be discussed later. RashersTierney (talk) 11:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I believe that 'McNeill' is correct (as opposed to 'MacNeill') inasmuch as the subject's brother James was always known as James McNeill. The text and info box are consistent now. Billsmith60 (talk) 15:48, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
