This memorial website was created in memory of Dermot P Walsh, 88, born on July 11, 1914 and passed away on February 19, 2003. Significantly, this renewed awareness coincided with a shift in Irelands place on the international landscape and was intertwined with the broader social, cultural and political environment. Walsh calculated that Dublins male first admission rate was twice as great as the Scots and twelve times that of England and Wales, while the female rate was eight times that in England and Wales.Footnote Once compiled, the figures would have to be published for the information of other countries which are themselves dealing with the disorder. 132 Yet, Fitzpatrick did identify some areas of cultural difference, which created a confusing image of domestic Irish drinking behaviour. The first was by a Capuchin friar, Fr Theobald Mathew, in 1838. 45 The Act defined an addict as a person who, due to their addiction to drugs or intoxicants, was either dangerous to themselves or others, incapable of managing their affairs or of ordinary proper conduct or was in serious danger of developing a mental disorder.Footnote 61 Thus, in 1957, a State Commission on Intoxicating Liquor concluded drink was no longer a serious problem in Ireland. 94 These figures are rendered even more remarkable in the context of a population of less than 3 million. But Ardal OHanlon, 48, who played Father Dougal told how he was wracked with insecurities whilst filming the Bafta-award winning sitcom. Experience life as a WWI soldier in Pou Kanohi Gallery. Commenting on developments in the alcoholism field over the previous two decades, Walsh wrote: I think it is clear that these activities, whether therapeutic, research or preventiveindicate the concern with what is a characteristically Irish problem, the moving away of public attitudes from accepting a stereotype of Irish role-fulfilment towards a standpoint of responsible public attitudes to the problems of alcoholism.Footnote We had an intense relationship for a very short time. 4 By the 1820s, Protestant landlords, clergy, doctors, lawyers and merchants had become considerably alarmed by the high levels of spirit consumption in Ireland. 91, The academic squabble continued when Walsh countered with a letter to the JIMAs editor, reaffirming alcoholism as an important national health issue. WebDermot Walsh died on January, 16th, 2020, at the age of 76, following a long illness. (note 2), 165; Ferriter, op. 48 Under the 1945 Act, an addict could be detained against their will as a temporary patient for a period of up to 6months.Footnote 60 In addition, it emerged in that decade that the Irish were consuming less drink than their British neighbours. It could therefore be argued that while the disease view sat uneasily with those sensitive to negative international perceptions of the Irish, the public health perspective provided a welcome opportunity to tackle social and cultural issues, and, with them, the inherent stereotypes about drinking behaviour in Ireland. It comes after rivals Heineken already upped the price on all its draught kegs in December. According to Bales, drink, for the Irishman in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and now, it seemed, the 1960s, could serve as a medicine for almost any ailment, an antidote to the symptoms of a hangover, a preventive of damp and cold in the changeable Irish weather and especially for Irish working men who exhibited a prevailing neglect or lack of proper clothing, a food substitute in periods of famine or during religious fasts; and a reliever of sexual tension or even a sexual substitute for young rural men in a society where marriage tended to favour only the first-born son.Footnote 84 True to his word, albeit with some delay, in November 1971, Childers requested INCA to submit a detailed report to his department, examining the problem of alcoholism, seeking information, evidence and views from other organisations and individuals engaged or interested in the alcoholism field, recommending priorities for practical action and setting out the financial implications of such steps.Footnote In addition, it was argued, a substantial amount of sexual repression still existed in Ireland due to the tendency of Irish men to marry late and the unavailability of birth control, which caused many married couples to abstain for longish periods in order to limit their family size.Footnote 6 Meanwhile, two notable Catholic temperance efforts were launched. 37, The transmission of American thought to the United Kingdom is further evidenced in English-based research on alcoholism in Irish immigrants. 67 Committee on Finance Vote 54 Health (Resumed), Dil ireann Debate, Wednesday, 9 May 1962.

By the mid-1960s, however, increasing emphasis on the Irish drink question led to the establishment of an Irish National Council on Alcoholism and the eventual sponsorship by the Department of Health of research, treatment facilities and preventive measures. One issue identified was the Confirmation pledge taken by most Catholic children in Ireland at the age of eleven or twelve, who promised to abstain from alcohol until the age of twenty-one or twenty-five. Dermot was previously married to Cassandra If one is to treat alcoholism successfully whether in hospital of in general practice one must feel as well as believe that the alcoholic is ill and suffering from a disease just as surely as a diabetic is suffering from his excess blood sugar.Footnote But Dermot was the only well rounded human being in the show.. By 1967, INCA had begun operating and received an initial grant of 2,000 from the Department of Health.Footnote Unsurprisingly, given mounting public demands for such evidence, this Irish-based research reached a wide audience. This would be comically nave were it not so monstrously cynical.Footnote In only his second feature he showcased well as the philandering "Wild Johnnie" in Hungry Hill (1947). 21 A few years later, the head psychiatrist at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, Dr Adolph Meyer, made several retrospective studies of alcoholic admissions to Massachusetts and New York State hospitals, which again demonstrated disproportionate rates among the Irish.Footnote While largely subscribing to broader European concepts of inebriety as a hereditary disease, practitioners were also influenced by specifically Irish social, cultural and political factors and their own political and religious leanings.Footnote for this article. A high level of alcohol consumption continued unabated during the 1950s and, as Ferriter has discussed, the prevailing culture of toleration in this period meant excessive drinking was seen as both gregarious and entirely respectable.Footnote Further evidence of the sustained role the Irish psychiatric services played in alcoholism treatment can be gleaned from the inclusion of addict clauses in the Mental Treatment Act of 1945. 57 Butler, op. 32 Personal Communication, C.M.

By way of explanation, it drew attention to the absence of common standards in diagnosis, the degree of social concealment and the treatment of symptoms in isolation which, it asserted, all help to obscure the epidemiological picture. From remaining neutral during the Second World War, and still quite conservative and insular during the 1950s, by the 1960s Ireland was becoming a more modern and outward-looking nation. 114, This litany almost certainly referred to the impact of the recent Vatican II reforms within the Catholic Church, which were intended to significantly liberalise the practice and scope of Catholicism, including a questioning of church control in the realm of areas like education.Footnote A number of these concerns were outlined by the journalist, Mary McCutchan, in her series of Irish Examiner articles on Alcoholism in Ireland in 1968. The research was kindly funded by a Wellcome Trust postdoctoral fellowship (Ref: 205455/Z/14/Z) and I am indebted to the Trust for their support. 73 Alcoholism a Major Social Problem: International Symposium opens in Dublin, Irish Times, 26 May 1965, 11. 36 The basic illness was often hidden under other names for face-saving thus there were no reliable figures for alcoholism.Footnote (note 2), 196. This period saw a number of important developments, including the introduction of the Irish Mental Treatment Act of 1945, the establishment of the Irish National Council on Alcoholism in 1966 and the creation of specialist alcohol treatment facilities in several psychiatric hospitals. The results of this research indicated a far higher proportion of the Irish under treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction than other national groups.Footnote 136, In addition, the Irish state was now openly embracing new methods to tackle both alcoholism and excessive drinking. 129 One area of difficulty lay with the fact that Bales had based his analysis of Irish life exclusively on the work of Arensberg and Kimball, which, as Fitzpatrick pointed out, had contributed largely to the image of the mother-dominated Irish family, as well as given rise to the idea of drink as a reliever of sexual tension among rural Irishmen.Footnote Hugh McDermott (20 March 1908 29 January 1972) was a British professional golfer turned actor who made a number of film, stage and television appearances between 1936 and 1972. While anxieties about the apparently rising incidence of alcoholism and alcohol-related harm were not unique to Ireland, the specific cultural meanings attached to excessive drinking in a nation internationally renowned for this problem mapped onto shifting international frameworks, informing medical perceptions and shaping policy developments. In fact, she continues, Bales neither presented this data nor discussed the possible persistence of an unchecked stereotype in relation to Irish drinking behaviour.Footnote ), Alcohol and Man (New York: Macmillan, 1933), 2967.Google Scholar Cited in Richard Stivers, A Hair of the Dog: Irish Drinking and American Stereotype (Pennsylvania: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1976), 10.

The author went on to criticise the failure, in Ireland, to set up a national council on alcoholism along the lines of those operating in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, suggesting that past efforts had been thwarted by the reluctance of public figures to have their names associated with the problem.Footnote As will be discussed, this document drew on the growing body of Irish-based research into alcoholism, which by then had begun in earnest. To people of other lands, it merely means that we drink too much. These included the impact of migration, resultant cultural transplantation and persistence of social habits acquired in Ireland during the extreme hardship of the nineteenth century.Footnote Dermot Walsh, who has died aged 77, starred in more than 20 such movies, and could have laid claim to be king of the quota quickies. Tall, dark and handsome, he had once seemed set for true stardom. Live.

Keyed in to playing hard-boiled characters in rather murky thrillers, frustration set in when he was unable to extricate himself from his "B" reputation. Among a range of factors of perceived importance, Walsh listed the persistence of ancient folk customs; an immense capacity for superstition and magical belief; the consequences of warfare and material hardship since 1550; the cataclysmic impact of the Great Famine of the 1840s; and the combined effects of the Irish mothers dominance, Irish fathers diminished authority and Irish sons deeply ambivalent and conflict-laden maternal relationship resulting, he reasoned, in some modification of the classical Oedipal situation. 58 This proposal was foreshadowed by the Mental Treatment Act, which permitted the government to order mental hospital authorities to provide specified accommodation for temporary patients.Footnote 14 By 1912, the Irish asylum inspectors had reached the same conclusion.Footnote 54 The focus on addicts in the Mental Treatment Act might therefore be read as an indication that the Irish psychiatric profession, in concert with the government, had come to accept the new disease view of alcoholism by singling out alcoholics as a group in need of treatment. The death has occurred of Dr Dermot Walsh, the long-time inspector of mental hospitals and a fierce critic of accommodation standards for long-stay psychiatric While many of his cultural explanations for Irish excessive drinking might be dismissed as merely speculative, his musings were, in fact, reflective of the broader research climate at that time. The result was the embedding of a sustained cultural stereotype of the Irish, whether at home or abroad, as being not just heavy drinkers but somehow predisposed to the disease of alcoholism. He appeared in a short film Infamous Conduct (1966) with Bridget Aemstrong. 40. In a statement that would prove highly provocative, this article concluded that alcoholism was a major public health problem in Dublin, accounting for at least one-quarter of all first admissions to psychiatric hospitals. 101 This is unsurprising, given the psychiatrists position in a semi-private psychiatric hospital with such facilities.Footnote Dermot Walsh Death: and Cause of Death On 26 June 2002, Dermot Walsh died of non-communicable disease.
