Talk:Ernest Blythe

2006 post

Can anybody add to this article with regard to Blythe's views on a shoot-to-kill policy and his general attitude towards anti-Treaty republicans? I was reading Breandán Ó hEithir's 'The Begrudger's Guide to Irish Politics' (Dublin, 1986) this week and Blythe, according to Ó hEithir, was more zealous in this regard than Richard Mulcahy himself.

Only Ulster Protestant to serve in Cabinet.

The contention that Blythe was the only Ulster Protestant to serve in the "26 county state" is incorrect. A member of the present Irish cabinet, Heather Humphreys, is an Ulster Protestant. A such I have deleted that section as it is no longer valid and because the choice of language and use of italics was clearly to make some kind of political point.

Page bias

The following text is immensely biased.

"Blythe funded the Shannon hydroelectric scheme during the late 1920s. Despite his austerity policies in relation to the old and the poor, Blythe readily funded pet projects; in just one year, 1929, his Department of Finance allocated £6,400 – a huge sum at the time – for translation into Irish of novels including Dracula by Bram Stoker" Dracula is one of the most important novels of all time, to call it a pet project violates WP:NPOV.
