Abstract:

This is the claim of a poster ad campaign for Murphy’s Stout, and it demonstrates the legendary status attached to Cork’s most famous and most loved dynamic structure. There are only three suspension bridges in Ireland; at Birr and Kinnitty Castles, both in Co. Offaly, and Cork’s own Daly’s Bridge. The 87m meter long steel suspension bridge spans the River Lee, shown in Figure 1, connecting the Mardyke and Sunday’s Well areas just east of Cork city centre. Constructed in 1926 to replace a ferry crossing at the location, it was manufactured by David Rowell & Co. Ltd. of London to the specifications of then Cork City engineer Stephen William Farrington. Named Daly’s Bridge for James Daly, a wealthy benefactor of the project, today it is better known locally as ‘The Shaky Bridge’ for its perceived ‘shakiness’. Despite being renowned for its dynamic nature, very little work has been done ...

Abstract:

Ann Synge’s essay on Bernal’s family, school and university background resurrected some questions which had first occurred to me when reading Bernal’s Science in History in the late 1950s. We have the Sherlock Holmes problem of the ‘dog that didn’t bark’: the paucity of Irish references. Why the blind spot regarding what should have been a rich source of material for the Bernal ‘science and society’ paradigm? He references Parsons, but labels him British, and is apparently unaware of the richness of the connection between Parsons and Birr Castle, which he visited as a boy. Ann Synge’s essay re-opened the question for me, prompting a visit to Cambridge to look at the Bernal papers, with a view to gaining insight into the nature and extent of the specific Irish influences on Bernal, if any, and complementing Ann Synge’s research into the Bernal family background. Other questions arise: what was the totality of factors influencing the education decision which led to Bedford and Cambridge?- How good was Bernal’s own awareness of his ‘anomalous position’, as expressed in his 1955 self-assessment, where he describes his background as ‘small farmer’? What degree of political understanding lay behind the 1920 family row, and how did this relate to his emerging Cambridge Marxism? How near was he to joining the British Army? In the following sections I address some aspects of these questions.
