THE KENNEDY VISIT --------------------------------That OTHER visit-in 1938

TWENTY -FIVE years ago a 50~ year -old American received an honorary degree from

l the National University: this week his son, the President of the United States, will be

similarly honoured. It is the first time a father and son have each appeared

on the N.U.I. roll of gonorary graduates. President Kennedy comes to Ireland as the first citizen ot

a great world power ; his father came, in 1938, when he W•8.,\; American Ambassador to lxlndon. -

Duri~ t'he interven~ q·uarter-century history has oone mueh to alter the face of things. Ireland, Britain, tlhe United States : each at once is and is not what it then was.

The aocount;S in the newspapers of Senator Joseph Ken·nedy's Vol.sit early in July 1938 make interesting reading now. He arrived from Croydon in a fO'Ur-engined De HaviM.and at Baldonnel Aerodrome on a rainy, windy day.

Harvard student The Ambassador was accompanied by his secretary and by

his eldest son, Joseph, then a.ged 18. He was a student at Harvar-d and was k!l;!ed in the war in 1944.

The party also included a John Kennelly,. To--day's President? No, not even a relation. but a f.rtend of the Ambassador's who worked in the U.S . Emlbassy in London.

Mrs. Joseph Kennedy was not wil\lh her husband. The prospect of the bumpy journey kl. the bad weaither had disturbed her. She had, however, been in Dublin the year before as a guest Of Mr. Cudahy, the American Ambassador to Ireland. And aga.in. as a young girl 35 year.s earlier, around 1903, with her father, John "Honey'' Fitzgerald,

The Kennedy party stayed at the American Ambassador'~> residence in the Phoe:ndx Park. Mr. Kennedy held a press conferenee W'hich was fully reported. - He was, said one newspaper, "naturally reluctant to d~cuss Irish affairs," but did describe the new Anglo-Irish agreement as "a remarkably fine job."

(Douglas Hyde had just been installed as first President: a few days !Biter Briti~h troops left Spike Island, and tlhe last vestige of Brit!s'h rule in the 26 counties had gone). .

There was an odd Intimation o! the. fuliure . The Ambassa-dor declined to be drawn on the question, "Wdll you be

a Presiden­tial candi­date in 1940?" No one then CO'Uld haVjl realised that one of his children was to become President years later.

The honorary LL.D. was conferred on Ambassador Kennedy at the National University premises in Merrion Sq. at a cer·e­mony presi­ded over by Chancellor de Valera.

Pro!es:sar Cor­coran, S.J., spoke the Latin oration and said: "Joseph Ken­nedy has been the or­ganising leader of great cohorts devoted · to civic service by sea and land: he has ever been prom;pt in for­ward aetion at his country's call."

The Ambassador also calied on President Douglas Hyde at Arus an Uachtara!n, and spent some time there chatting with the.Prestdent.

'Honour' He later told reporters that

he was Impressed by the spirit of tolerance which a little while before bad eJected the Protestant Gaelic SCholar to the highest office in the land.

At the State Banquet given In Dublin Castle for Ambassador

Ken n e d y, An Taoiseach, Eamon de Valer>a, spoke about bhe help many Americans had given to Ireland In 1920 and 1921 and said: ''You have done great honour to our race."

In reply, Mr. Kennedy said: "This town of Dublin, this l>&nd of IreLand, Is sacred soil to me. From tlbis land my ancestors came to the New World.''

He went on to speak of the liberty Gf action and beHef which was the essenee of

Senator Joseph Kennedy the President's father.

tlhe American way M life. This, however, did nothing "to take away our spiritual devotion to the shamrock soli."

The Ambassador also visited the National Museum. and Trinity Co.Uege, and called on the Lord Mayor. Alder­man Alfred Byrne, and on the Papal Nuncio, Monsig­nor Pasch'al Robinson, O .F.M.

At the end of the two-day visit . the Kennedy party returned to London by air from Baldonnel.

MORE about . th~ KENNEDYS

by MICHEAL 0 hAODHA * The pro..-amme about which, Michell 0 hAodha writes will be repeated durinc President Kennedy's visit. at 8.45 p.m. olt

Thursday.

SINCE the first broadcast of "Meet the Clans, in America," dealing wibh the Kennedys, Eoin O'Mahony .and myself

ihave received many letters and phone calls, some complimentary, but more somewhat critical of our failure to mention , all the relations ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

We would, lJ we knew tlhem all. and 1lf time permitlted, lJike to do so. Bwt a. moment's ret!leetion will .slhow that 1ib.is 1s an impossilb illlty.

For the present. our correspo.ndents will ha.ve to be contented with what President Kennedy said in his special greeting for this programme: ·

My great grandparents on both sides Of my family-the Kennedys and ·the Fttzgeralds-came to the United States from Ireland more than one hundred years ago.

Perhaps it is less well known th4t. I am also related to two other grerLt Irish clans-my father's mother had· as her malden name, Hickey, while my maternal grandmother, who. is now 97. '10$1S Mary Hannon. I would tJt.erejore ltke to send special greetings to all those m ~reland who . bear the tamily names-Kennedy, !ttzgerald, Htckell ancl Hannon.

To-day there are In l 'l'eland alone a.bowt 20,000 Kennedys, 15-,000 F1tzgeralds. 7,()()() Hickeys and 5,De0 Ha.nnans or HB:Tinons. So the President has sent speCla.l greetmgs to aJt least 57,000 people of whom 40,000 at least can claim to sha1·e a. common ancestor. of either Da.lcass\an or Norman s.tock. with the President of t'he United States.

With the assistance of Mr. cornelius Howard, former consul-General in Boston, we have been able to include some additional information in this repeat broadcast.

First of all, It should be remembered that the history of those Kennedys who moved from Tip­

perary into Lelnster Is not as well documented as that of. the Kennedys of Ormond, whose doings h a v e b e e n so ably chronicled by the late Dermot Gleeson.

But we do know that in the 17th century there was a Ken­nedy on the western side of the Barrow near New Ross who held considerable property.

In the Parish of suttons, In which Dunganstown is situated. there were 12 families of he name of Kennedy about;. the time Patrick Kennedy, the President's great-gr andfather, emigrated.

Unfortunately, no l:l.ocumen­tary evidence is now available of whef Patrick Kennedy was born.

'lfhe earliest documentary evid­ence we have is the marriage certificate of Patrick Kennedy . and Bridget Murphy in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Boston. on September 26, 18411, before two witnesses, Patrick Barron and Ann McGowan.

On November 22. 1858. ten months after the birth of his fi.rst son. the Patrick Kennedy who had emigrated from New Ross died. His death certin­cate shows his occupation as & cooper, and the cause of death as t\lWculosls.

Hi.s widow, Bridget Murphy Kennedy. survived him by over 3Q years.

Her son, Patrick Kennedy, used to read American History

He read It to good purpose for he showed rare foresight bY sending his son, Joseph P. Ken­nedy to Harvard, thus setting him on the road which event.ually brought him to the court or Saint James, In l!J38, as Amer­ican Amba-ssador to Great Brl­tain.

With the election of his son. John F. Kennedy to the Presi­dency on Jan. 20th, 1961, the Irish in America had come to the end of a long and difficult journey which, for most of­them. had begun in the Famine forties.
