There's a misconception that counties such Cork, Kerry, Derry, Limerick, Galway, Laois, Tipperary, Westmeath and Offaly weren't active during the 1798 Rebellion. Here (and back by popular demand) historian Colum Ó Ruairc dispels that myth and shows that even the less well known counties were all on the brink of Rebellion during one of the most tumultuous years in Ireland history.
Tune in and you’ll hear of the brutal agrarian practices carried out in Galway; a battle in Clonakilty (Cork); a vicious barracks raid in Castleisland (Kerry); Guerilla Warfare and Trials and Executions across these counties and why they didn’t rise to the extent of Wexford, Mayo, Longford, Kildare, Antrim and Down.
You will hear of more casualty names and their horrific deaths, including a case where the decapitated heads of some United Irishmen were ordered to be placed at the highest pinnacle of the Rock of Cashel.
