Book Synopsis The Comeraghs Gunfire and Civil War by : Síle Murphy
Download or read book The Comeraghs Gunfire and Civil War written by Síle Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important work was originally published in 1980 under the title 'The Comeraghs Refuge of Rebels'. In 2003 a revised and expanded version was published under the title 'The Comeraghs Gunfire & Civil War' The 2020 edition has been further updated with additional content including notes from the original interviews and 31 photos. The book's importance derives from it being compiled using the first-hand accounts of the County Waterford veterans who participated in the struggle for Irish Independence. Among those who contributed their papers and allowed themselves to be interviewed were active participants Pax Whelan, Mick Mansfield, 'Nipper' McCarthy, sisters Margaret and Lena Keating, Molly Power, Katie (Mother) Kent, Sonny Cullinane, Larry Meehan, Jim Kirwan, Ned Kirby, Billy Walsh, Donal (Duck) Whelan and many more. In 1970 Seán Murphy was appointed as Pension Officer for County Waterford. By chance, his job put him more in contact with the veterans as he was required on a four-yearly basis to visit all who were in receipt of an IRA pension from the Dept of Defence. In a short time, he got to know them all and earned their respect. He listened to their accounts of service during the Irish War of Independence and if they had any written documents, he arranged to copy them for his files. The material for this book was compiled at a time when the struggle in Northern Ireland was approaching a peak and memories of the Irish Civil War were fresh. As a result, many local historians were reluctant to engage with documenting the Irish War of Independence & Civil War. Fortunately for posterity, Seán Murphy & his wife Síle were not daunted and they assembled a very readable, well-researched account of the struggle for freedom in Waterford. The book chronicles the formation of the Irish Volunteers and subsequently the formation of the Deise Brigade IRA. Attacks on police barracks, ambushes at Piltown, Durrow, Pickardstown, and The Burgery are documented as is the brief 'Truce' period before brother fought against brother in the Irish Civil War. The book also includes detailed reports of engagements & activities of the Deise Brigade including lists of participants. This book is a brilliant exploration of the activities of the Deise Brigade, highlighting the role of the landscape and the intimate knowledge of the local terrain that the brigade members were able to exploit. The interaction between the local community and the Brigade is an important part of the story of the War of Independence in Waterford and it is well documented in this book. To mark the centenary of events in 1920 Waterford County Museum and the Waterford Commemorations Committee are grateful to Seán & Síle Murphy for giving us the opportunity to support them in getting this wonderful work republished. A portion of profits from this book will be used to support the work of the volunteer-run Waterford County Museum.
Book Synopsis Last Voices of the Irish Revolution by : Tom Hurley
Download or read book Last Voices of the Irish Revolution written by Tom Hurley and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish Civil War ended in 1923. Eighty years on, documentary-maker Tom Hurley wondered if there were many civilians and combatants left from across Ireland who had experienced the years 1919 to 1923, their prelude and their aftermath. What memories had they, what were their stories and how did they reflect on those turbulent times? In early 2003, he recorded the experiences of 18 people, conducting 2 further interviews abroad in 2004. Tom spoke to a cross section (Catholic, Protestant, Unionist and Nationalist) who were in their teens or early twenties during the civil war. The chronological approach he has taken spans 50 years, beginning with the oldest interviewee's birth in 1899 and ending when the Free State became a republic in 1949. Last Voices of the Irish Revolution.
Download or read book Truce: written by Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc and published by Mercier Press Ltd. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 8 July 1921 a Truce between the IRA and British forces in Ireland was announced, to begin three days later. However, in those three days at least sixty people from both sides of the conflict were killed. In 'Truce', Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc goes back to the facts to reveal what actually happened in those three bloody days, and why. •What sparked Belfast's 'Bloody Sunday' in 1921, the worst bout of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland's troubled history? • Why were four unarmed British soldiers kidnapped and killed by the IRA in Cork just hours before the ceasefire began? •Who murdered Margaret Keogh, a young Dublin rebel, in cold blood on her own doorstep? •Were the last spies shot by the IRA really working for British intelligence or just the victims of anti-Protestant bigotry? This book answers these questions for the first time and separates fact from fiction to find out what really happened in the final battles between the IRA and the British forces.
