22nd Annual Ernie O’ Malley Lecture Dr. Michael Doorley on “Justice Daniel Cohalan”

Friday, October 16, 2020 @ 12:30 am1:45 pm

October 16, 12.30pm EST/5.30pm GMT

Justice Daniel Cohalan, or the ‘Judge’ as he became known, is best remembered today for his tempestuous relationship with Irish nationalist leader Éamon de Valera during the latter’s visit to the United States in 1919-1920. Cohalan deserves more attention than this and the story of his life as an American politician and Irish-American nationalist encapsulates the complex relationship between Irish America and Ireland during the early decades of the Twentieth Century.
