In 1932, the Irish government, facing an economic downturn, introduced a marriage ban which required that female primary school teachers were required to resign on marriage. This followed a series of restrictive legislative measures adopted by Irish governments throughout the 1920s which sought to limit women’s participation in public life and the public sector. Such a requirement emerged in several countries in response to high unemployment and applied principally to women’s white-collar occupations, leading some commentators to argue that it stemmed from a social consensus rather than an economic rationale. Despite opposition to the ban from the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO) on the basis that it was unconstitutional, would lead to fewer marriages and that married women were in fact more suited to teaching children, it remained in place until 1958. Although the ban is much referred to as part of the gender ideology that informed legislation in the early years of independent Ireland, the particular history of married women teachers has been little researched in the academic context. Over 50 years since the rescinding of the ban, this article examines its impact through an analysis of primary sources, including government cabinet minutes and the public commentary of the INTO and positions this history within the international context.

 Collect her children’s allowance

The 1944 legislation that introduced the payment of children’s allowances (now called child benefit) specified that they be paid to the father. The father could, if he chose, mandate his wife to collect the money, but she had no right to it.

How it changed

Responding to the report of the Commission on the Status of Women, the 1974 Social Welfare Act entitled mothers to collect the allowance.

MR. DANIEL O’REILLY, proprietor of the Hastings Hotel, is a native of Cork, Ireland, and came to New Zealand in the year 1878, by the ship “City of Auckland,” which was wrecked on the Otaki beach. Mr. O’Reilly lost all his possessions. and was conveyed with other passengers to Napier by the Government steamer “Hinemoa.” He energetically set to work to make the best of bad fortune, and obtained agricultural employment, at which he continued for six years. He removed to Hastings in 1885, started a boot and shoe shop, and carried on that business successfully for three years, when he sold it to the Egmont Boot Factory Company, of New Plymouth. Mr. O’Reilly then opened a drapery business, which he disposed of three years later to considerable advantage, and in 1892 bought an interest in the Hastings Hotel. He owns a fine little farm of about ten acres, from which the hotel table is supplied with fruit, vegetables, and poultry; and he also owns a large block of land opposite the railway, on which he has erected five large shops. In politics Mr. O’Reilly is a liberal. He has been a member of the Hibernian Society for many years, and of the Napier Park and Hastings Trotting Clubs, Agricultural and Pastoral Society, and Hastings Bowling Club. In 1887 Mr. O’Reilly married Miss Julia O’Neill, and has two children

All comments welcome. Part of the reason a small area pre the Irish Famine 1845-7 had one of the world’s highest rural population densities was the availability of marine resources, sea sand, seaweed. As early as 1820 there were favourable comment by (Kerry born), Dublin Attorney Orpen at how developed West Cork was with shipping to Spain, Portugal, France, roads, harbours. He was related to local families such as the Durrus Hutchinsons, landlords, Swanton of Ballydehob and indirectly to the O’Sullivans of Ballaghadown, Caheragh. William Orpen is of this family.
