'''John Mary "Jack" Lynch''' ([[Irish language|Irish]]: ''Seán Ó Loinsigh''; 15 August 1917 – 20 October 1999) was the fourth [[Taoiseach]] of [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], serving two terms in office; 1966 to 1973 and 1977 to 1979. |
|||
Lynch was first elected to [[Dáil Éireann]] as a [[Teachta Dála|TD]] for Cork in 1948, and was re-elected at each general election until his retirement in 1981. He previously served as [[Minister for Finance (Ireland)|Minister for Finance]] (1965–1966), [[Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ireland)|Minister for Industry & Commerce]] (1959–1965), [[Minister for Education and Science (Ireland)|Minister for Education]] (1957–1959), [[Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs|Minister for the Gaeltacht]] (1957) and as a [[Minister of State (Ireland)|Parliamentary Secretary]]. He was the third leader of [[Fianna Fáil]] from 1966 until 1979, succeeding the hugely influential [[Seán Lemass]]. Lynch was the last Fianna Fáil leader to secure (in 1977) an overall majority in the [[Dáil]]. He was also the first Taoiseach born in the [[20th century]]. |
|||
'''''Live from Jimmy's BackYard''''' is a yearly compilantation album released by '''Jimmy Marquez'' of Entoxica, featuring music from the yearly performance "Live from Jimmy's BackYard". |
|||
Prior to his political career Lynch had a successful sporting career as a [[dual player]] of [[Gaelic games]]. He played [[hurling]] with his local club [[Glen Rovers GAA|Glen Rovers]] and with the [[Cork GAA|Cork]] senior inter-county team from 1936 until 1950. Lynch also played [[Gaelic football]] with his local club [[St. Nicholas' GAA|St. Nicholas']] and with the Cork senior inter-county team from 1936 until 1946. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest dual players of all-time. |
|||
Lynch's status as one of the all-time greats is self-evident. In a senior inter-county career that lasted for fourteen years he won five [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|All-Ireland]] titles, seven [[Munster Senior Hurling Championship|Munster]] titles, three [[National Hurling League]] titles and seven [[Railway Cup]] titles. In a senior inter-county football career that lasted for ten years Lynch won one [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship|All-Ireland]] title, two [[Munster Senior Football Championship|Munster]] titles and one Railway Cup title. Lynch was later named at midfield on the [[GAA Hurling Team of the Century]] and the [[GAA Hurling Team of the Millennium]] |
|||
== Early and private life == |
|||
John Mary Lynch was born on 15 August 1917, just yards from the famous [[Shandon, Cork|Shandon bells]] and St. Anne's in [[Cork (city)|Cork City]]. The youngest of five boys, with two girls born after him, Jack, as he was known, was generally regarded as the "wild boy" of the family. He was educated at St. Vincent's Convent on Peacock Lane, and later at the famous "North Mon", the North Monastery [[Congregation of Christian Brothers|Christian Brothers]] School. When Lynch was just thirteen years old his mother died suddenly. Lynch, who had been particularly close to his mother, was deeply affected by her death. His aunt, who herself had a family of six, stepped in to look after the family in this time of great upheaval for them. Lynch sat his [[Leaving Certificate]] in 1936, after which he moved to [[Dublin]] and worked with the Dublin District Milk Board, before returning to Cork to take up a position in the Circuit Court Office. |
|||
Lynch began working at the Cork Circuit Court as a clerk while still only nineteen years old. His work in the court ignited his interest in law and in 1941 he began a night course at [[University College Cork]] studying law. After two years in UCC he moved to [[Dublin]] to complete his studies at [[King's Inns]]. While continuing his studies he started work with the Department of Justice. In 1945 Lynch was called to the Bar and had to decide whether to remain in his Civil Service job or practice as a barrister. Lynch made the decision (literally on the toss of a coin) to move back to Cork and began a private practice on the Cork Circuit. |
|||
It was in 1943, while on holidays in [[Glengariff]], West Cork, that Lynch met his future wife, Máirín O'Connor, the daughter of a Dublin judge. Lynch was to be her first and only boyfriend, and the couple were married three years later on 10 August 1946. Although she was apprehensive about her husband's decision to become active in politics, to become a Minister and even to become [[Taoiseach]], she stood by him through it all and helped him make the tough decisions that would affect Lynch's life and her own. One story exists where Lynch, in spite of tremendous pressure from Seán Lemass and the entire [[Fianna Fáil]] party to stand for the leadership, only accepted the nomination after Máirín had agreed. The fact that the couple didn't have any children allowed Lynch to embark on a political career, without having to worry about his commitment to the family. However, he remained totally devoted to Máirín throughout his, and she became just as easily recognisable as her husband. |

From an early age, Lynch showed an enormous interest and great accomplishment as a sportsman. [[Rugby union]], [[Football (soccer)|soccer]], [[swimming]] and [[Gaelic handball|handball]] were all favourite pastimes for Lynch, however it was the sports of [[Gaelic football]] and [[hurling]] where Lynch showed particular flair. |
|||
=== Club === |
|||
Lynch played his club [[hurling]] with the famous [[Glen Rovers GAA|Glen Rovers]] club in the Blackpool area of Cork city. He enjoyed much success at underage levels, winning back-to-back minor county championship titles in 1933 and in 1934 as captain. That same year Lynch won his first senior [[Cork Senior Hurling Championship|county hurling championship]] with "the Glen." It was the first of a record-breaking eight county titles in-a-row for Glen Rovers and for Lynch, who served as captain of the side on a number of occasions. He finished off his club hurling career by winning a further three county medals in succession in 1948, 1949 and 1950. |
|||
Lynch also played club [[Gaelic football|football]] with "the Glen’s" sister club [[St. Nicholas GAA|St. Nicholas]]. Once again he enjoyed a successful underage career, winning back-to-back county minor titles in 1932 and 1933. Lynch won an intermediate county title in 1937, before adding a senior [[Cork Senior Football Championship|county football championship]] medal to his collection in 1938. Lynch won his second county football medal with "St. Nick’s" in 1941. While working in Dublin in the mid-1940s Lynch played club football with the [[Civil Service GAA|Civil Service]] team. In 1944 he won a [[Dublin Senior Football Championship]] title, alongside fellow Munster native [[Mick Falvey]].[http://www.hoganstand.com/dublin/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=70528] |
|||
=== Inter-county === |
|||
By the late 1930s Lynch was a [[dual player]] with the [[Cork GAA|Cork]] senior hurling and senior football teams. In 1939 he became the first, and only player, in history to captain both the inter-county football and hurling teams in the same year. That year he won his first [[Munster Senior Hurling Championship|Munster]] hurling title, however, [[Kilkenny GAA|Kilkenny]] later accounted for Cork in the famous [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 1939|"thunder and lightning"]] All-Ireland final. In 1939 and 1940 Lynch guided Cork to back-to-back [[National Hurling League]] titles, however, the 1941 championship was severely hampered due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. Cork only had to play two games to be crowned [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship|All-Ireland]] hurling champions, however, they lost the delayed Munster hurling final to [[Tipperary GAA|Tipperary]]. |
|||
In 1942 Lynch was selected as Cork hurling captain once again. That year he captured his second set of Munster and All-Ireland medals. 1943 proved to be a successful year for Lynch as he won a third Munster hurling medal and a first [[Munster Senior Football Championship|Munster]] football medal. While the footballers were later defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final, Lynch’s hurling team went on to win a third All-Ireland title in-a-row. In 1944 Lynch captured his fourth Munster hurling title. Later that year Cork created a piece of sporting history by becoming the only team to win four All-Ireland hurling titles in-a-row. Lynch was one of the heroes of the team who played in all four finals. |
|||

|||
In 1945 Cork surrendered their provincial hurling crown, however, Lynch, as a member of the Cork senior football team won his second [[Munster Senior Football Championship|Munster]] football title. Cork later defeated [[Cavan GAA|Cavan]] in the All-Ireland final, giving Lynch his first, and only, [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship|All-Ireland]] football medal. In 1946 the Cork hurlers returned to their winning ways and Lynch claimed a fifth provincial hurling title. A fifth All-Ireland hurling medal was later added to his collection following a defeat of old rivals Kilkenny I the final. On that September day in 1946 Lynch made Irish sporting history by becoming the first, and to date the only, player to win six consecutive senior All-Ireland medals (five in hurling and one in football). |

Lynch captured a sixth Munster hurling medal in 1947 before going on to play in his seventh All-Ireland hurling final in less than a decade. The game itself against Kilkenny has often been described as the greatest All-Ireland final ever played, however, Lynch ended up on the losing side by a single point. There was some consolation at the start of 1948 as Lynch claimed another National Hurling League medal, however, [[Tipperary GAA|Tipperary]] quickly became the dominant force in the Munster Championship. Lynch retired from inter-county hurling in 1950. He had retired from inter-county football several years earlier. |

Even at the height of his career, Lynch had come to be regarded as one of the all-time greats of [[Gaelic games]]. His contribution to the game of hurling was first recognised when he was named as the "Hurling Captain of the Forties". In the centenary year of the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] in 1984 Lynch was named on the "Hurling Team of the Century". At the special centenary All-Ireland final in [[Semple Stadium]] he received one of the loudest cheers and rounds of applause when all the former All-Ireland winning hurling captains were introduced to the crowd. Shortly after his death in 1999 Lynch’s reputation as one of the true greats of the game was further cemented when he was named on the "Hurling Team of the Millennium". |

== Political life == |
|||
=== Early career === |
|||
In 1946 Lynch had his first brush with politics when he was asked by his local [[Fianna Fáil]] [[cumann]] to stand for the [[Dáil]] in a by-election. He declined on this occasion, due to his lack of political experience, but indicated that he would be interested in standing in the next general election. In 1947 Lynch refused a similar offer to stand by the new political party [[Clann na Poblachta]]. A general election was eventually called for [[Irish general election, 1948|February 1948]], Lynch topped the poll for the [[Cork Borough (Dáil Éireann constituency)|Cork Borough]] constituency and became a Fianna Fáil TD in the [[13th Dáil]]. Although Fianna Fáil lost the election and were out of power for the first time in sixteen years, Lynch became speech writer and research assistant for the party leader, [[Éamon de Valera]]. |
|||
2) Cibola (City of Gold) - Golden City - 3:28 |
|||
In 1951 Fianna Fáil were back in power and Lynch was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Government, with special responsibility for [[Gaeltacht]] areas. The party was out of power again between 1954 and 1957. During this period Lynch served as Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on the Gaeltacht. In 1957 Fianna Fáil returned to power and de Valera headed his last government. Lynch, at 39, became the youngest member to join the [[Irish Government|government]], as Minister for Education, as well as holding the Gaeltacht portfolio for a short while. Lynch introduced innovative legislation, such as: |
|||
* raising the school leaving age |
|||
* reducing school class sizes |
|||
* removing a ban on married women working as teachers. |
|||
* allowing the Jewish skull cap to be worn but only from the age of 12 |
|||

|||
=== Minister for Industry & Commerce === |
|||
In 1959 de Valera was elected [[President of Ireland]] and [[Seán Lemass]] became the new [[Taoiseach]] and Fianna Fáil leader. Lynch was promoted to Lemass' old portfolio as Minister for Industry & Commerce. Here he inherited the most dynamic department in the government, however, having replaced such a political giant, Lynch felt that his own scope for change was severely limited. Lynch was described as not being the most innovative of ministers but was particularly attentive when it came to legislation and detail. It was in this department where Lynch worked closely with Lemass and [[T.K. Whitaker]] in generating economic growth and implementing the Programme for Economic Expansion. He was also noted for his astuteness in solving several industrial disputes during his tenure at the Department. |
|||
4) Cherry On Top - Cherry on Top - 2:59 |
|||
=== Minister for Finance === |
|||
In 1965 Lemass was once again re-elected Taoiseach. The big change was the retirement of such political heavyweights as [[James Ryan (Irish politician)|James Ryan]] and [[Seán MacEntee]], with Lynch taking over from the former as Minister for Finance. This appointment was particularly significant because Lemass was coming to the end of his premiership and wanted to prepare a successor. As a result Lynch took charge of the second most important position in the Government, gaining widespread experience in a number of affairs, and accompanying Lemass to [[London]] to sign one of the most important trade agreements between [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] and the [[United Kingdom]]. One occasion in which Lynch's authority was seen to be undermined as Minister for Finance was when the Minister for Education, [[Donagh O'Malley]], announced that the government would provide free secondary school education for all. This proposal had not been discussed at Cabinet level as would be required to fund such a service. It subsequently transpired that Lemass had previously agreed the decision without cabinet discussion as was required. |
|||
5) Sense of Smell - Cherry on Top - 3:01 |
|||
=== Lemass resignation === |
|||
Lemass retired in 1966 after 7 years in the position and a leadership race (the first contested race in the history of the party) threatened to tear Fianna Fáil apart. Lynch, and another favourite of Lemass's, [[Patrick Hillery]], ruled themselves out of the [[Fianna Fáil leadership election, 1966|leadership election]] from the very beginning, however, other candidates such as [[Charles Haughey]], [[George Colley]] and [[Neil Blaney]] threw their hats into the ring immediately. None of the candidates that were being offered to the party seemed particularly appealing and Lemass' made one last attempt to coax either Hillery or Lynch to join the race as a compromise candidate. Hillery remained adamant that he did not want the leadership and eventually Lynch allowed his name to go forward. Upon hearing this Haughey and Blaney, the latter having never really entered the race in the first place, withdrew and announced their support for Lynch. Colley refused to withdraw and when it was put to a ballot Lynch comfortably defeated him by 52 votes to 19. Lynch was thus elected [[Taoiseach]] and leader of Fianna Fáil on 10 November 1966. |
|||
6) Interlude - Jimmy - 1:00 |
|||
The Lynch succession however, was not a smooth one. Three men had openly expressed ambitions to be Taoiseach, Haughey, Blaney and Colley. Three other cabinet ministers had also contemplated running - [[Brian Lenihan, Snr|Brian Lenihan]], [[Kevin Boland]] and [[Donagh O'Malley]]. |
|||
7) Some Assembly Required - J3 - 4:13 |
|||
== Taoiseach 1966–1973 == |
|||
Because Lynch was elected as somewhat of a "compromise candidate" it appeared to many that he would only remain as an interim [[Taoiseach]]. This thought could not be further from his mind, and he outlined this intentions shortly after coming to power. Lynch took particular exception to the title "Interim Taoiseach" or "Reluctant Taoiseach". He had no intention of stepping aside after a few years in favour of one of the other candidates who had been unsuccessful against him in 1966. He was however reluctant in naming his first Cabinet. He believed that the existing members of the government owed their positions to Lemass, and so he retained the entire Cabinet, albeit with some members moving to different departments. Lynch adopted a chairman-like approach to government allowing his Ministers a free run in their respective Departments. He continued the modernising and liberal approach that Lemass had begun, albeit at a slower pace. Lynch was lucky in the timing of Lemass's resignation. The new Taoiseach now had almost a full Dáil term before the next general election. |
|||
8) Say What? - Golden City - 1:59 |
|||
=== PR referendum === |
|||
With [[Fianna Fáil]] having been in power for eleven years by 1968, Lynch was persuaded once again to make an attempt to abolish the [[proportional representation]] method of voting in general elections in favour of a first-past-the-post system like in the [[United Kingdom]]. However, the campaign generated little enthusiasm, even within Fianna Fáil. [[Fine Gael]] and the [[Labour Party (Ireland)|Labour Party]] opposed the referendum when it transpired that Fianna Fáil could win up to 80 or 90 seats in a 144 seat [[Dáil]] if the motion was passed. Much like 1959, when the party tried to make the same referendum, the electorate believed this to be an attempt to institutionalise Fianna Fáil in power, and thus they rejected the motion put to them. This cast doubts on Lynch and his ability to win a general election, however, he proved his critics wrong in the [[Irish general election, 1969|1969 general election]] when Fianna Fáil won its first overall majority since Éamon de Valera in 1957, and Lynch proved himself to be a huge electoral asset for the party. |
|||
9) Yo Mamma, Yo Daddy - Golden City - 2:46 |
|||
=== Northern Ireland === |
|||
[[Northern Ireland]], and Lynch's attitude to the situation which was about to develop there would come to define his first tenure as Taoiseach. Lynch continued Lemass's approach in regard to relations with Northern Ireland. Better relations had been forged between the two parts of Ireland with co-operation between Ministers on several practical issues such as trade, agriculture and tourism. In December 1967 Lynch travelled to [[Stormont]] for his first meeting with the [[Prime Minister of Northern Ireland|Prime Minister]] [[Terence O'Neill]], in the hope of forming even more links. However, the situation was already beginning to deteriorate in the North with civil unrest and the resignation of O'Neill to come. |
|||
10) Finger Lickin' Good - Cherry on Top - 2:00 |
|||
Shortly after Lynch's election victory, tensions in [[Northern Ireland]] finally spilled over and "the [[troubles]]" began. The sight of refugees from the North teeming across the border turned public opinion in the Republic. The [[Battle of the Bogside]] in [[Derry]] between the [[Royal Ulster Constabulary]] and residents in August 1969 prompted Lynch to make what some people consider one of the most important broadcasts to the nation on [[RTÉ|Irish television]], commenting on the ever-increasingly violent situation{{Fact|date=February 2007}}. The speech went as follows: |
|||
11) Outerlude 2004 - All bands - :30 |
|||
<blockquote>''The Irish Government can no longer stand by and see innocent people injured and perhaps worse. It is obvious that the RUC is no longer accepted as an impartial police force. Neither would the employment of [[British army|British troops]] be acceptable nor would they be likely to restore peaceful conditions, certainly not in the long term. The [[Irish Government]] have, therefore, requested the [[British Government]] to apply immediately to the [[United Nations]] for the urgent dispatch of a Peace-Keeping Force to the Six Counties of Northern Ireland and have instructed the Permanent Representative to the United Nations to inform the Secretary General of this request. We have also asked the British Government to see to it that police attacks on the people of Derry should cease immediately.''</blockquote> |
|||
<blockquote>''Very many people have been injured and some of them seriously. We know that many of these do not wish to be treated in Six County hospitals. We have, therefore, directed the [[Irish Army]] authorities to have field hospitals established in [[County Donegal]] adjacent to Derry and at other points along the Border where they may be necessary.''</blockquote> |
|||
<blockquote>''Recognising, however, that the [[Irish Reunification|re-unification of the national territory]] can provide the only permanent solution for the problem, it is our intention to request the British Government to enter into early negotiations with the Irish Government to review the present constitutional position of the Six Counties of Northern Ireland.''</blockquote> |
|||
<blockquote>''These measures which I have outlined to you seem to the Government to be those most immediately and urgently necessary.''</blockquote> |
|||
<blockquote>''All men and women of goodwill will hope and pray that the present deplorable and distressing situation will not further deteriorate but that it will soon be ended firstly by the granting of full equality of citizenship to every man and woman in the Six Counties area regardless of class, creed or political persuasion and, eventually, by the restoration of the historic unity of our country.''</blockquote> |
|||
In this speech he used forceful language which did not inflame tensions{{Fact|date=February 2007}}. Many people in the North thought that the government in [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] would despatch troops over the border to protect nationalists{{Fact|date=February 2007}}. However, this course of action, which was urged by a number of ministers in the Cabinet such as [[Charles Haughey]], [[Neil Blaney]] and [[Kevin Boland]], was dismissed as a non-runner at the very beginning. As the violence continued the Minister for External Affairs, [[Patrick Hillery]], met with the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Foreign Secretary]] and also went to the [[United Nations]] in a plea to send a [[peacekeeping]] force to the North and to highlight the Irish government's case. However, little else was achieved from these meetings other than media coverage of the activities in the North of Ireland. The situation in Northern Ireland continued to deteriorate during Lynch's first term. [[Bloody Sunday (1972)|Bloody Sunday]] (30 January 1972), saw the killing of 13 unarmed civilians by [[Parachute Regiment (United Kingdom)|British paratroopers]] and a backlash of anti-British feeling in all parts of Ireland, including the burning of the British embassy in Dublin. |

Lynch's attitude towards the Northern Ireland question and the application of Fianna Fáil party policy to it would eventually come to define his first period as Taoiseach, and would once again show his critics that far from being "reluctant" he was in fact a strong and decisive leader. His strong leadership skills and determination were clearly evident in 1970 when allegations (later disproved in court, though questions since have emerged challenging that verdict in one case), that the hardline republican Minister for Agriculture, [[Neil Blaney]], and the Minister for Finance, [[Charles Haughey]], were involved in an attempt to use £100,000 in aid money to import arms for the [[Provisional IRA]]. Both ministers were sacked after some initial procrastination on Lynch's part, his innocent but incompetent Minister for Justice, [[Micheál Ó Móráin]], retired the day before and a fourth minister, [[Kevin Boland]] and his Parliamentary Secretary, resigned in sympathy with Haughey and Blaney. The whole affair, which became known as the [[Arms Crisis]], allowed Lynch to stamp his control on his government, but would eventually lead to deep division in Fianna Fáil for many decades to come. It is now believed that Lynch was aware of these activities, and acted only when his hand was forced. |

'''''Live from Jimmy's FrontYard 2005''''' was the largest festival to date. This festival featured 6 bands, meaning a longer album and a larger crowd. |
|||
=== EEC membership === |
|||
One of the high points of Lynch's first term as Taoiseach, and possibly one of the most important events in modern Irish history, was [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]'s entry into the [[European Economic Community]]. Lynch personally steered the application for membership and the acceptance of membership by a five to one majority in a referendum shows that the vast majority of the country was behind him. Ireland officially joined, along with its nearest neighbour, the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Denmark]], on 1 January 1973. [[Patrick Hillery]] became Ireland's first [[European Commissioner]]. In appointing Hillery Europe was gaining one of Ireland's most experienced politicians, while on the other hand Lynch was losing one of his staunchest allies. The admittance of Ireland was the culmination of a decade of preparation which was begun by Lynch and his predecessor, Seán Lemass, who unfortunately did not live to see what would have been his greatest achievement. |

== Opposition 1973–1977 == |
|||
Lynch's government was expected to collapse following the Arms Crisis, however it survived until 1973. Lynch had wanted to call the general election for the end of 1972, however, events had conspired against him and the date was set for February, 1973. Lynch's government was defeated by the [[National Coalition]] of [[Fine Gael]] and the [[Labour Party (Ireland)|Labour Party]]. [[Liam Cosgrave]] was elected Taoiseach and Lynch found himself on the opposition benches for the first time in sixteen years. Lynch's popularity remained steadfast, so much so that during his tenure as [[Irish Leader of the Opposition|Leader of the Opposition]] he was frequently referred to as "the Real Taoiseach". Lynch had some success while out of power. He had finally expelled all the elements of the party which threatened his leadership and the unification of the party. Lynch was now in complete control. Fianna Fáil began its electoral comeback by securing the election of its candidate, [[Erskine Hamilton Childers|Erskine H. Childers]], in becoming [[President of Ireland]] in 1973, defeating the odds-on favourite, the National Coalition's [[Tom O'Higgins]]. |
|||
1) Disneyland - Entoxica - 2:44 |
|||
In 1975 Lynch allowed [[Charles Haughey]] to return to his Front Bench as Spokesperson on Health. There was much media criticism of Lynch for this move. In the same year the Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, [[Michael O'Kennedy]], published a Fianna Fáil policy document calling for a withdrawal of British forces from [[Northern Ireland]]. The document was an echo of Fianna Fáil's republican origins, and although Lynch was not happy with it, he did not stop it. |
|||
2) Message In A Bottle - The Police Force - 3:52 |
|||
Controversy continued to dog the National Coalition when the [[President of Ireland]], [[Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh]], resigned in 1976 after being called a "thundering disgrace" by the Minister for Defence, [[Paddy Donegan]]. [[Liam Cosgrave]] refused to sack his Minister and the government's popularity took a downturn. A former Fianna Fáil cabinet minister and a political ally of Lynch, Patrick Hillery, was eventually nominated (without election) as Ó Dálaigh's successor and sixth [[President of Ireland]]. |
|||
3) Good Times - Golden City - 4:02 |
|||
In 1977 the government, although reasonably unpopular, felt sure of an election victory and June date for the poll was fixed. The National Coalition's spirits had been buoyed up by the actions of the Minister for Local Government, [[James Tully (politician)|James Tully]]. In what became known as the [[Tullymander]] (a pun on the word [[gerrymander]]) he re-drew every constituency in Ireland (as he had authority to do), apparently favouring Fine Gael and Labour Party candidates. However, when the election took place the coalition was swept out of office by Fianna Fáil which won an unprecedented twenty seat Dáil majority. Lynch himself received the biggest personal vote in the state. Although the large parliamentary majority seemed to restore Lynch as an electoral asset, the fact that the party was returned with an enormous vote allowed Lynch to be undermined by many new TDs who were not loyal to Lynch and wanted him removed. |
|||
4) Cherry on Top - Cherry On Top - 2:59 |
|||
== Taoiseach 1977–1979 == |
|||
Early on in his second term as [[Taoiseach]], Lynch decided that he would not lead Fianna Fáil into another general election campaign. The date of January 1980 was in his mind as a retirement date, however nothing had been made definite. It was during this time, due to a combination of a large parliamentary majority and the search for a new leader, when party discipline began to break down. |
|||
5) How You Doin'? - Drenched - 2:11 |
|||
=== The economy === |
|||
In the party's election manifesto in 1977 Fianna Fáil promised a whole range of new economic measures. These measures included the abolition of car tax, rates on houses and a number of other vote-winning "sweeteners." A new [[Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism (Ireland)#Minister for Economic Planning .26 Development 1977.E2.80.931980|Department of Economic Planning & Development]] was set up to kick-start Ireland's flagging economy and to implement these new measures. The government abolished domestic rates on houses and unemployment fell from 106,000 to 90,000 between 1977 and 1979, however other actions that were taken were not so productive. The national debt increased by £2 billion in the same period, protest marches by [[PAYE]] workers, an increase in electricity charges and the [[1979 energy crisis|oil crisis of 1979]] also caused problems for the government and its economic policy. |
|||
6) Shark Song - Sharked - 1:59 |
|||
=== Party discipline === |
|||
The year 1978 saw the first open revolt in party discipline. There was an open mutiny by many backbenchers when the Minister for Finance, [[George Colley]], attempted to impose a 2% levy on farmers. Colley was forced into a humiliating climbdown at the behest of the backbenchers and the authority of the government was shaken. There was similar tension when a vote on the Family Planning Bill was proposed in the Dáil by the Minister for Health, Charles Haughey. The legislation proposed that only people with a prescription could be dispensed contraception and was described as "[[an Irish solution to an Irish problem]]". [[Jim Gibbons (Irish politician)|Jim Gibbons]], who was a devout [[Catholic]] and had a deep hatred of Haughey failed to turn up and vote for this important legislation. It was the only time when a TD, let alone a cabinet minister, was allowed flout the party whip in Fianna Fáil and damaged Lynch's authority when he failed to expel the minister from the government and parliamentary party. As well as this, a group of backbench TDs began to lobby other TDs in support of Charles Haughey, should a leadership election arise. This group, known as the "gang of five," consisted of [[Jackie Fahey]], [[Tom McEllistrim, Jnr]], [[Seán Doherty (politician)|Seán Doherty]], [[Mark Killilea, Jnr|Mark Killilea]] and [[Albert Reynolds]]. |
|||
7) LOL - Cherry On Top - 2:36 |
|||
=== Lynch's resignation === |
|||
1979 proved to be the year in which Lynch finally realised that his grip on power had slipped. The first direct elections to the [[European Parliament]] took place in June saw the electorate severely punish the ruling Fianna Fáil party. A five-month postal strike also led to deep anger amongst people all over the country. On 27 August 1979 the [[Provisional IRA]] assassinated [[Earl Mountbatten]] in [[County Sligo]]. On the same day the IRA killed 18 British soldiers at [[Warrenpoint]] in [[County Down]]. A radical security review and greater cross-border co-operation were discussed with the new British [[Prime Minister]], [[Margaret Thatcher]]. These discussions led [[Síle de Valera]], a backbench TD, to directly challenge the leadership at a commemoration service. |
|||
8) Interlude - Sharked ft. Entoxica - 1:00 |
|||
The visit of [[Pope John Paul II]] to Ireland in September proved to be a welcome break for Lynch from the day-to-day running of the country. In November, just before Lynch departed on a visit to the [[United States]] he decided that he would resign at the end of the year. This would allow him to complete his term as President of the European Community. The defining event which made up his mind was the news that Fianna Fáil had lost two by-elections in his native Cork ([[Cork City by-election, 1979|Cork City]] and [[Cork North East by-election, 1979|Cork North East]], both on 7 November). However, when he returned from America [[George Colley]], the man who Lynch saw as his successor, went to him and encouraged him to resign sooner. Colley was convinced that he had enough support to defeat the other likely candidate, [[Charles Haughey]], and that Lynch should resign early to catch his opponents on the hop. Lynch agreed to this and resigned as leader of Fianna Fáil and Taoiseach on 5 December 1979, assured that Colley had the votes necessary to win. However, Haughey and his supporters had been preparing for months to take over the leadership and Lynch's resignation came as no surprise. He narrowly defeated Colley in the [[Fianna Fáil leadership election, 1979|leadership contest]] and succeeded Lynch as [[Taoiseach]]. |
|||
9) The Song that Staryed a Riot - Entoxica ft. Marina - 3:12 |
|||
Lynch remained on in [[Dáil Éireann]] as a TD until his retirement from politics at the [[Irish general election, 1981|1981 general election]]. |
|||
10) Off the Deep End - Sharked ft. Drenched - 2:11 |
|||
== Retirement == |
|||
Following Lynch's retirement from politics the offers from various companies flooded in. He became directors at a number of companies, including [[Irish Distillers]], [[Smurfit-Stone Container|Smurfit]] and Hibernian Insurance. He also embarked on a good deal of foreign travel. He was conferred with the freedom of his own native [[Cork (city)|Cork city]]. He continued to speak on political issues, particularly in favour of [[Desmond O'Malley]] at the time of his expulsion from Fianna Fáil. Lynch also declined to accept nominations to become [[President of Ireland]], a position he had little interest in. In 1992 he suffered a severe health set back, and in 1993 suffered a stroke in which he nearly lost his sight. Following this he withdrew from public life, preferring to remain at his home with his wife Máirín where he continued to be dogged by ill-health. |
|||
11) All/One - Entoxica, Golden City, Drenched, Cherry On Top, Sharked - 4:59 |
|||
He continued to be honoured by, among others, the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] and various other organisations. In 1999 the [[Jack Lynch Tunnel]] under the river Lee was named by [[Cork Corporation]] in his honour. A plaque was also erected at his birthplace in Shandon. Lynch died in the Royal Hospital, [[Donnybrook, Dublin|Donnybrook]], [[Dublin]] on 20 October 1999 at the age of 82. He was honoured with a [[List of Irish state funerals|state funeral]] which was attended by the [[President of Ireland]] [[Mary McAleese]], [[An Taoiseach]] [[Bertie Ahern]], former [[Taoisigh]] [[John Bruton]], [[Albert Reynolds]] and [[Charles Haughey]], and various political persons from all parties. The coffin was then flown from Dublin to Cork where a procession through the streets of the city drew some of the biggest crowds in the city's history. Lynch's friend and political ally, [[Desmond O'Malley]], delivered the graveside oration, paying tribute to Lynch's sense of decency. He is buried in St Finbarr's Cemetery in Cork city. |
|||
12) Outerlude 2005 - Entoxica ft. Sharked - :59 |
|||
Jack Lynch has been described as "the most popular Irish politician since [[Daniel O'Connell]]." This praise did not come from Lynch's allies or even his own party, but from the former leader of [[Fine Gael]], [[Liam Cosgrave]]. As a sportsman Lynch earned a reputation for a decency and fair play, characteristics he brought to political life. It was for this that the man known as "the Real Taoiseach" or "the Reluctant Taoiseach", with his ever present pipe and the soft Cork lilt in his voice will be remembered. |

Sharked (originally known as Sharked! until 2006 when Jet left) is a rock band from Arizona that started as a family band in 2005 by Jimmy R. Marquez IV.
History & Releases
Sharked! (2004-2006)
The band grew it's popularity in 2004 when it was first noted that Jet & Jimmy (the only members of "Entoxica") were in the band. They released "Sharked!", a self-titled EP which contained four tracks: "Drowning", "Shark Song", "Underwater", and "Songs About Water". All four songs made it onto their famous debut album the next year.
Off the Deep End & Jet's solo career (2006-2007)
In 2005 Sharked! released their debut album, entitled "Off the Deep End". It contained ten tracks, and three singles were released: "Shark Song", "Off the Deep End", and "Oceanica". The hit title track "Off the Deep End" featured ameteur band "Drenched".
When Jet decided to go solo in 2006, Sharked! was changed to simply "Sharked" to notify the change in band lineup. Marina then recruited Jsn Crtr on Bass guitar.
Area to Cover EP & Marina's second solo album (2007-2008)
The band became increasingly popular with the release of Sharked's new single, "Area to Cover" in 2008. With it, the second album was announced. Unfourtunately, Entoxica's new album "Nothing Better To Do", was due to be released that year, along with Marina's second solo album. But, the Marquez's were moving, so the album was finished in Kingman, Arizona. Entoxica was broken up, and Marina's new album "What I Want" was released sucessfully February 14, 2008 (Her last album, "Marina! ('Bout Time)" was released 2004).
Drowning Without Water & New "Area to Cover" (2008-present)
The band's second Album, "Drowning Without Water", was released September 3, 2008. It contained numerous hit songs and a few great singles.
Marina also hinted on September 30, 2008 that Sharked's thrid album is under production and is set for a release 2009.
On October 1, 2008, Sharked revealed that they were working on their third studio album, which will feature 15 new tracks. Jimmy has stated that they mey self title this album, which means that they plan to stick with the label they're on, and that it also makes for a good introductory album as the band has relocated.
Jimmy also announced that he planned to re-release "Off the Deep End".
after the Marquez's moved, Jsn moved back to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
