I’ve been irregularly updating my blog ‘Hidden History of UCD’ with pieces related to the radical and social history of the college. Some CHTM! readers might be interested in some of my recent posts:
– In 1962, Anthony Clare wrote an article for the T.C.D. Miscellany about the censorship regime in UCD at that time.
– In 1967, Joseph Matthews wrote an article for Hibernia about Student Politics in UCD at the time (it includes a picture of a very young Vincent Browne, Chairman of Young Fine Gael)
– In the early 1970s, an Oz like radical paper was published in Belfield called Instead.
– In the mid 1970s, a Womens Lib. fanzine was published in Belfield called Bread and Roses.
In the late 1980s, Belfield enjoyed a healthy rave scene. I’ve interviewed François Pittion (Ents Officer 1988/89) about the period.
Just wanted to point out, pedantically, that Anthony Clare has been mistagged as ‘anthony clarke’ on this post!
I wouldn’t normally be so anal as to point it out, only he was my dad so it kinda irks a little. Nice one for mentioning his article though, I was completely unaware of it until I read about it here.
Only found this blog today by chance actually, it’s really really impressive – keep up the good work, folks!
Thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake. No idea how that ‘k’ got added in there!
All the best.
