Joe Clarke ((アイルランド語:Seosamh Ó Clérigh), 22 December 1882 – 1976) was an Irish republican activist. Born in Rush, Dublin, Clarke worked for the Sinn Féin Bank, and was active in the Easter Rising. When captured, he was shot in the head, but survived, and was instead imprisoned in Liverpool Prison, Wakefield Prison and then Frongoch Internment Camp.〔(Sinn Féin Dublin South Central )〕 On his return to Ireland, Clarke acted as the courier for the First Dáil,〔Éamonn Mac Thomáis, ''Me jewel and darlin' Dublin'', p.139〕 but was interned from January 1921.〔(Chief Secretary's order directing that Joe Clarke be interned in Ballykinlar Camp, Co. Down, 11 Jan. 1921. ), Joe Clarke Papers, National Library of Ireland〕 Released in 1923, he acted as caretaker of the Sinn Féin headquarters on Harcourt Street,〔 and founded the Irish Book Bureau.〔 Although the Anti-Treaty Sinn Féin rejected participation in the Dáil, they continued to contest local elections, and Clarke sat on Dublin City Council.〔"(Sinn Féin re-enters local government contests )", ''The United Irishman'', September 1950〕 Clarke was a founder member of Comhairle na Poblachta in 1929.〔J. Bowyer Bell, ''The Secret Army: the IRA'', p.77〕 In 1937, he worked with Brian O'Higgins to establish the ''Wolfe Tone Weekly'' as a light-hearted party newspaper.〔Uinseann MacEoin, ''The IRA in the twilight years: 1923-1948'', p.18〕 In August 1939, Clarke was interned〔J. Bowyer Bell, ''The Secret Army: the IRA'', p161〕 at Arbour Hill, then later at Cork County Jail.〔(Letters from Joe Clarke ), Joe Clarke Papers, National Library of Ireland〕 Although Clarke had served under Éamon de Valera during the Easter Rising, the two became implacable opponents. Clarke was ejected from an official commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the First Dáil for interrupting de Valera's speech in order to raise the complaints of the Dublin Housing Action Committee.〔Mícheál Mac Donncha, "(Remembering the Past: Joe Clarke ejected from First Dáil commemoration )", ''Saoirse32'', 2 April 2009〕 He vowed to outlive de Valera, in which endeavour he succeeded by a year.〔Robert William White, ''Ruairí Ó Brádaigh'', pp.365, 386〕 Clarke was elected as a Vice-President of Sinn Féin in 1966. In the split of 1970, he supported the provisional wing, remaining Vice-President.〔Robert William White, ''Ruairí Ó Brádaigh'', p.162〕 The Dublin South West Inner City cumann of Sinn Féin is named for Clarke.〔 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joe Clarke (Irish republican)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
