In 1960 when my father brought his family back from emigration in England to start his own business at home in Ireland I was aged almost ten. I remember my first weeks in school in Dublin as a trial. To my fellows I was English. This meant that I was the object of their resentment, expressed in malicious taunting - but with a strain of deference, even of awe. Although these schoolboys wanted to hurt, they wanted more to be friends. Other new boys remained outsiders long after their easy acceptance, yet I was quickly to become an insider, 'a status friend'. After all I was English and this implied superiority. As every Irish child knew the English'were monstrous giants who had straddled our land for centuries: the cause of hardship and suffering for our people. But they couldn't altogether be rejected. The Irish spoke their language and mirrored their social habits. The alternative cultural identity which might have enabled the Irish to recognise themselves and establish a self-esteem based on a distinct Irishness did not exist (who ever said "Irish is beautiful"?). By the time our sling- wielding heroes had felled the giant all we could do was apply the same defensive methods in restoring our culture as the English had in suppressing it, with equal success. The gaelic resurgence of the turn of the century had become a Kultur-rump by the sixties, and all other cultural expressions had been palsied.
