Report of the Commission of Inquiry on Mental Illness (Dublin: Stationary Office, 1966), 79. Walsh, 53, was on holiday near San Diego with his family when he suffered a fatal heart attack Feb. 27. 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. cit. Partly in reaction to Sullivan and Glatts findings, which were synopsised in the Irish Times in November 1956, the medical correspondent for that newspaper summarised the dichotomy between domestic and international perspectives on Irish drinking habits: We Irish have the reputation of being a great race of drinkers. Walsh premised that the Irish were: in a general sense freer in their use of alcohol than most nationalities. But Ardal OHanlon, 48, who played Father Dougal told how he was wracked with insecurities whilst filming the Bafta-award winning sitcom. cit. The comedian was hosting a dinner party when he suffered a heart Nowlan described how one general practitioner had stood up at the end of the seminar and stated quite categorically that alcoholism was a sin in the face of God and against Gods works deserving of only censure and moralistic indignation.Footnote When Guy goes to confront the engineer he quits, claiming to have seen a ghost on board as well. Frank, 74, who famously played drunken Father Jack in the hit show, said the late actor and comedian was under terrific stress before his untimely death at the age of 45 in 1998. On the topic of per capita drink consumption, Walsh made a valid observation by highlighting the figures failure to consider the high proportion of total abstainers in Ireland.Footnote This memorial website was created in memory of Dermot P Walsh, 88, born on July 11, 1914 and passed away on February 19, 2003. By the 1960s, the Irish state was progressively called upon to respond to the issue of alcoholism. Moreover, Fitzpatrick argued that ethnicity was not a major factor, given that ethnic differences had not been found to persist from one generation to the next.Footnote While acknowledging the on-going investigations by the Commission on Mental Illness, he contended: This whole concept of alcoholism as a mental disease is one of the causes of our failure to deal with the problem. 27 From 1962, Bales work attracted heightened recognition, after he published a shortened version of one of his dissertation chapters.Footnote WebWalsh was married three times in all -- divorcing twice and surviving his third wife Elisabeth Scott, who died in 1993. This was partly because, due to Irelands neutrality, the state had not introduced wartime measures to curb beer production and promote dry clubs as had been done by governments elsewhere.Footnote 33 See, for example, Catherine Cox, Hilary Marland and Sarah York, Emaciated, Exhausted and Excited: The Bodies and Minds of the Irish in Nineteenth-Century Lancashire Asylums, Journal of Social History, 46 (2012), 50024; Catherine Cox and Hilary Marland, A Burden on the County: Madness, Institutions of Confinement and the Irish Patient in Victorian Lancashire, Social History of Medicine, 28, 2 (2015), 26387; Elizabeth Malcolm, A Most Miserable Looking Object The Irish in English Asylums, 18511901: Migration, Poverty and Prejudice, in John Belchem and Klaus Tenfelde (eds), Irish and Polish Migration in Comparative Perspective (Essen: Klartext-Verlag, 2003), 12132; Vishal Bhavsar and Dinesh Bhugra, Bethlems Irish: Migration and Distress in Nineteenth-Century London, History of Psychiatry 20 (2009), 18498; J.

Cooneys observations were not unfounded, and indeed reflected contemporary anxieties about broader social and cultural change. Two years later, when the Department of Justice queried the Department of Health about the scale of the issue of alcoholism, the latter estimated that less than 400 cases were admitted to institutions for treatment in any year.Footnote The comedian was hosting a dinner party when he suffered a heart attack. Dog washed away in 'ferocious' Tipperary flood waters as family launch appeal to find beloved pet. 128. In a criticism that would later become commonplace, the author went so far as to suggest a wilful reluctance on the part of the Irish government: One wonders if the authorities have deliberately refrained from finding out how many alcoholics there are in this country, lest the figures show us up in a bad light.

I would like to thank Associate Professor Lindsey Earner-Byrne and the peer reviewers for their valuable feedback on drafts of this article. Total loading time: 1.168 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. 70 Government sensitivity towards the drunken Irish stereotype was again alleged in the editorial, Thirst for Truth, in May 1965: One suspects that the Government has been slow to give a lead in this matter through fear of appearing to confirm the drunken Paddy image. And if Mr Lemass is also concerned lest foreign industries are put off coming to Ireland through fears of drunken labour and absenteeism, this too is understandable.Footnote He appeared in a short film Infamous Conduct (1966) with Bridget Aemstrong. 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 patients. 132 Yet, Fitzpatrick did identify some areas of cultural difference, which created a confusing image of domestic Irish drinking behaviour. 86 Like Sullivan and Glatts Warlingham Park study, however, Walsh based his findings on psychiatric admissions outside of Ireland. There seems little doubt that drinking plays a large part in dealing with many deeper frustrations and conflicts Alcohol, too, has in high degree the effect of inducing and enhancing the fantasy life which is so inherently a part of Irish cultural heritage.Footnote In the meantime, and however unintentionally, general psychiatric facilities remained primary treatment sites for alcoholism. 115 His musings reflected those of many contemporaries who were anxious about the impact such changes would usher in, as opinions were divided among both the clergy and laity over several thorny issues, including social reform, censorship and sexual behaviour.Footnote 89, Walshs very public and in the case of the BJP article, international, assertion that the Irish in Ireland were disproportionately prone to alcoholism created waves among other workers. Inevitably this has led to a sense of perplexity and confusion in peoples minds as to what direction they are taking in their role in the changing world of today.Footnote Dermot was a producer, known for Echoes of a Summer (1976). This time, the leading investigator was a University College Dublin social scientist, Joyce Fitzpatrick (later OConnor). Its nice to know that we find just being Irish is the cause of our alcoholism It would be verbal arrogance on my part to question Dr Walshs diagnosis or prognosis. 14 By 1912, the Irish asylum inspectors had reached the same conclusion.Footnote Malcolm, Elizabeth, Ireland Sober, Ireland Free: Drink and Temperance in Nineteenth-Century Ireland (New York: Syracuse University Press, 1986), 3.Google Scholar. 105 By this point, the role played by psychiatric services for alcoholism in Ireland had crystallised and psychiatrists had apparently grown more comfortable with this function. 20 Ferriter, op. If this were true, it would suggest a sad distortion of values. 37, The transmission of American thought to the United Kingdom is further evidenced in English-based research on alcoholism in Irish immigrants. 79 The driving force behind the Council, however, was a handful of private sector psychiatrists together with selected members of AA, which had established its first European base in Dublin in 1946.Footnote Significantly, this renewed awareness coincided with a shift in Irelands place on the international landscape, and was deeply intertwined with the broader social, cultural and political environment. Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals for the Year 1958 (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1960), 15. He wanted everything, he wanted it all and Im sorry he didnt have it all because he would have enjoyed it, for a time anyway, until he had his next idea., Paying tribute to his dad, Rob said: I think of Dermot and I remember how much I miss him. 26 This 1944 dissertation was later published as Robert Levine, Harry G., The Discovery of Addiction: Changing Conceptions of Habitual Drunkenness in America, Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 15 (1978), 493506, on 494.Google Scholar, 37 In 1964, Michael Viney, in the first of his series of Irish Times articles on Alcoholism in Ireland reasoned: Few Irishmen would disagree that the image of the drunken Paddy whether fictionally presented on British television screens or factually endorsed in the magistrates courts of West London, is humiliating to the Irish at home. Bales, F., The Fixation Factor in Alcohol Addiction: An Hypothesis Derived from a Comparative Study of Irish and Jewish Social Norms (New York: Arno Press, 1980).Google Scholar, 27 One mum had the perfect middle name picked out for a daughter based on her due date. Some talent scouts in Ireland interested in making some pictures about his homeland happened to spot him in a production and eventually signed him up after he had made a choice move to London to further his career.His first postwar film role was a bit part as a chauffeur in Bedelia (1946), but after signing with Rank he was groomed immediately for prime parts. 75, These activities were also among the recommendations laid out in the long-awaited report of the Commission of Inquiry on Mental Illness, which was published in 1966 and, as anticipated, included a section on alcoholics. Speaking at a conference of his political party, Fianna Fil, in January 1962, Colley proposed a campaign to eradicate alcoholism, including the setting up of alcoholic treatment units. In her critique of Bales research, she argued that some of his basic assumptions were faulty and his sources incomplete.Footnote 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 We know that Dermot P Walsh had been residing in Peoria, Maricopa County, Arizona 85382. 107 David Nowlan, Hidden Disease Dangers: Doctors Discuss Alcohol, Irish Times, 17 May 1969, 4. 20, The lull in alcoholism research endured in Ireland until the 1960s when, as will be discussed, experts from various disciplines began publishing vigorously on the topic. cit. While Walsh acknowledged that most of the evidence to date was impressionistic, he suggested his Dublin study, which found a first admission rate of 34.4 per 100000 population aged 10 and over, confirmed the American findings so often cited in the past. Unlike in the United Kingdom, where levels of alcohol consumption had begun to fall significantly from the last quarter of the nineteenth century and remained low into the 1960s, post-war Ireland saw increased consumption of drink. But Dermot died. 90 Lynn went on to become a Professor of Psychology at the University of Ulster from 1972 to 1995. The basic illness was often hidden under other names for face-saving thus there were no reliable figures for alcoholism.Footnote He married a third actress, Elizabeth Annear, that same year, and the couple had two daughters, Elisabeth Dermot Walsh (born 1974), herself now an actress, and Olivia (born 1977). Elizabeth Annear died in 1993. ^ "Dermot Walsh". Unsurprisingly, given mounting public demands for such evidence, this Irish-based research reached a wide audience. 46 As Shane Butler has deduced, in the context of mid-1940s Ireland, one can assume this definition referred principally to those deemed addicted to alcohol.Footnote 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 46 Department of Health [Ireland], Mental Treatment Act (Dublin: The Stationery Office, 1945), s.3. The central tenet of the disease view, however, did not sit well with many Irish commentators. Publicity Listings 10, These interpretations of Irish drinking were not lost on medical commentators in Ireland. 16 While discussion of the physiological and psychological effects of drinking persisted in Britain during the First World War,Footnote By the late 1960s, assessments of the Irish predisposition to alcoholism abroad, whether based on genetic or psychological makeup, or some inherent social or cultural flaw, began to preoccupy researchers in Ireland. 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 In only his second feature he showcased well as the philandering "Wild Johnnie" in Hungry Hill (1947).

Coming under increasing pressure to tackle the licensed vintners, restrict pub opening hours and decrease the number of pub licences, the Cumann na nGaedheal party, who governed the Free State until 1932, responded through an intoxicating liquor commission and licensing acts between 1924 and 1927.Footnote We also may change the frequency you receive our emails from us in order to keep you up to date and give you the best relevant information possible.

She was critical of the work of Bales and others, whom, she noted, had helped to reinforce this image of the Irish as far back as 1946. As Mary E. Daly has shown, marriage and sexual morality, in particular, had been major exceptions to this process of reform into the 1970s and beyond.Footnote 44 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 I wouldnt dare to do so.

Certainly, the implication that alcoholics were somehow genetically or psychologically defective at a time when the Irish were believed to be disproportionately prone to this defect, did little for the national identity of a country whose international profile was becoming more important for its leaders.

Instead, they relied on the formula devised by Jellinek, which held that between 5% and 6% of drinkers in any country were alcoholics. (note 37), 78. The Commissioners went on to report they could find no detailed survey of the number of alcoholics in Ireland but were aware of American and British research, which appeared to show that Irish emigrants, or people of Irish descent, occupy a high place when alcoholics are classified by country of origin or by ethnic group. Much of this discussion took place in the pages of the Journal for the Irish Medical Association, which boasted strong participation from disciplines including psychiatry, psychology and pharmacology. Much prominence has been given, in histories of problem drinking and alcoholism, to the adoption of the disease model and its subsequent displacement by the public health approach.
