Extractions: Subsequently, in 1893, the Gaelic League was formed. Its founders, including Eoin MacNeill and Douglas Hyde, aimed through this movement to restore Irish as a spoken and a literary language. They regarded Irish as a vital repository of Irelands culture and of the countrys contribution to world civilisation. Its revival was also seen as a means of preserving Irelands national identity and of de-Anglicising the Irish people. Due to rapid social change the usage of Irish had declined sharply; before the famine it was spoken by, perhaps, half of Irelands population but by the late 19th century it seemed in danger of becoming merely an academic subject. The logo of the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, which was at the centre of the literary revival By 1908, the League had 600 branches nationwide. Its activities included the provision of Irish classes, organising of Irish speaking social gatherings, publication of a newspaper, sponsoring of Irish verse and prose and the mounting of campaigns to have the language integrated into the national educational system. Hyde especially insisted that the GL should remain non-political. But it tended to attract those who were politically minded. In highlighting Irelands distinct linguistic and cultural tradition, it provided powerful arguments for its right to full independence and nationhood. Also the IRB once more used the movement as a recruiting ground and by 1914 had effectively taken over the League, prompting Hydes resignation as President.

I listened with interest as some openly discussed the impractical nature of mandatory celibacy . . . For the first time in my life, I doubted the authority of my religion.
