title = "Making Ireland: The {\textquoteleft}Made in Ireland{\textquoteright} trade mark and the delineation of national identity",
abstract = "This chapter explores the efforts of Irish nationalists to define and regulate the national identity of Ireland through the vehicle of country-of-origin trademarking. Specifically, it charts the rise of the Irish Industrial Development Association (IIDA), a voluntary organisation that from 1907 regulated the use of an Irish country-of-origin trademark, styled D{\'e}anta i n{\'E}irinn. The chapter begins with an overview of the historical context in which the D{\'e}anta i n{\'E}irinn was developed. It then documents the establishment and growth of the D{\'e}anta i n{\'E}irinn trademark and its place within the broader Irish industrial development movement. Attention then turns to the D{\'e}anta i n{\'E}irinn trademark users, revealing the sectoral and geographical breakdown. By analysing the products that carried the D{\'e}anta i n{\'E}irinn trademark, this chapter provides a sketch of Irish identity before independence in the eyes of contemporary consumers. The IIDA also prosecuted non-Irish producers that fraudulently sold goods with Irish connotations. By analysing the defendants in these cases, this chapter provides further insights into Ireland{\textquoteright}s brand identity before independence. ",
