| Résumé : | Although Michael Tierney became famous as a controversial, reforming president of UCD, he had been a ubiquitous figure in Irish national politics for over twenty years before. A radical member of Cumann na nGaedheal and a key intellectual influence on the early Fine Gael party, he reinvented himself as a political independent, and campaigned for a vocational model of government in Ireland in line with papal teaching. He was a political conservative who was also a public intellectual, and who tried to build a political career based on the quality of his ideas rather than tribal loyalties. Existing studies of Tierney have focused either on his writings for scholarly journals, such as "Studies", or his political role with Fine Gael. This article attempts to bring together these two aspects of his career, and suggests that Tierney's thought can only be understood in the context of his political career and vice versa |
