Abstract
Obscured by the passage of time and the international campaign against apartheid, South Africa ranks alongside France and the United States of America as a major external ideological influence on the development of modern Irish nationalism. The Irish also contributed greatly to every aspect of South African life, political, administrative, military, commercial and ecclesiastical. This paper is a welcome reappraisal of the Irish — South African connection.
