Knowledge, they say, is power. One manifestation of the power of the Catholic Church within the independent Irish state in the middle decades of the twentieth century was the virtual monopoly its clergy and the educational institutions under their control possessed over the discipline of sociology. The first university posts in this discipline were filled in 1937, the year in which the voters of the twenty-six-county state ratified a new constitution that blended Anglo-American liberal democratic norms with distinctive new provisions reflecting Catholic teaching. Verbal genuflection before the social prescriptions of papal encyclicals was to found in this document although, as Joe Larragy (: 201) notes, Catholic social power rather than Catholic social teaching was the prevalent factor in the Irish case and for a long time the formula suited an authoritarian church in a parsimonious state dominated by the rural petit bourgeoisie. But times, churches and states change. In 1973, when both parts of Ireland entered what was then the European Economic Community (EEC), a secular, professional association of Irish sociologists was also founded.

In this book the rebalancing of power between Church and state in the period between 1937 and 1973 is explored through a case study of the Irish knowledge institutions that engaged in social science teaching and research. Here the aspect of the Catholic Church of greatest relevance is what John Whyte (and shaped government policies in the early decades of independence took place. Newly installed at the centre of the states project were membership of the EEC, the attraction of export-orientated investment from transnational corporations and the gearing of education to create a labour force that met the requirements of such investors.

With the new states activism in the education field mainly channelled into attempts to revive the Irish language (Akenson ), the southern Irish educational system that began to be transformed in the 1960s was up to that point very largely unchanged from the form in which it had been inherited from the now truncated United Kingdom. It is therefore with the United Kingdom of the 18011922 period and the manner in which its governments struggled with, and eventually settled, the Irish University Question that examination of Irish sociologys origins needs to begin.
