William Thomas Cosgrave (6 June 1880 - 16 November 1965) was an Irish Fine Gael politician who served as President of the Executive Council from 1922 to 1932, Leader of the Opposition from 1932 to 1944, Leader of Fine Gael from 1934 to 1944, Leader of Cumann na nGaedheal from 1923 to 1933, Chairman of the Provisional Government from August 1922 to December 1922, President of Dáil Éireann from September 1922 to December 1922, Minister for Finance from 1922 to 1923 and Minister for Local Government from 1919 to 1922. He served as a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1921 to 1944. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for the North Kilkenny constituency from 1918 to 1922. Cosgrave never officially held the office of Taoiseach (the current title of Ireland's head of government, created in 1937); however, as the first elected head of government in the Irish Free State, he is recognized to have been the first Taoiseach.

Outstanding Travel Talks on Ireland short subject!!
This was awesome go Fitzpatrick
This is a really interesting video, thanks for posting.
They've gotten a few things deliberately wrong- for the sake of advertising, I suppose. 'Paddy Leary' might be from Tipperary, but we see 'Paddy' in front of Galway's Long Walk. And the last shot is not Killarney, but Kylemore Abbey - again in Co. Galway. I wonder if anyone else noticed any inconsistencies? I wonder how much truth there is to the video at all!
I'm interested if anyone knows anything about travelling around Ireland in the 1930s. Were trains connecting Dublin to Galway, for example? And how would Americans typically have arrived in the 1930s when commerical air travel was still in its infancy?
Thanks again!
The 'horse and buggy' at the beginning is actually an Irish Jaunting Car or 'Outside Car' so called because passengers sat back to back facing outwards. The 'mule and buggy @ 2:15 is actually an Ass and Cart or donkey and cart; the cart in both horse and donkey sizes was the general purpose vehicle for transport of goods and people in rural Ireland. The 'Quality' or more affluent rural dweller might have a horse and 'Trap' for passenger use but the ordinary 'five-eights' made do with the cart. Your 'classic Irish home' at 2:27 looks much more like the Gate-Lodge of some grand estate or 'Big House' than an ordinary Irish house or cottage. W.T. Cosgrave was one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising against British rule in Ireland who was selected for execution in the aftermath of the Rising but had the sentence quashed when the British finally realised they had turned public opinion completely against them by murdering these men - one of them, James Connolly too badly wounded to stand was shot in a chair and another Willie Pearse was killed for no better reason than he was P.H. Pearses brother. The USA had made diplomatic protests to Britain to prevent the execution of Eamonn de Valera an American by birth.
Interesting comments thank you.
should have saved Pearse and let em have de Valera
@@tommcauliffe3909 I doubt anyone would disagree with you there . What a load of misery Ireland would have been spared if that long miserable gobshite had been killed in 1916.
