This is the kind and caring man who spent all his own money to improve the education the children of Ireland, rich and poor, Catholic and Protestant.

Constance Markievicz

The artistic and firebrand daughter of the gentry who became the first woman MP at Westminster in 1918 – but never took her seat.

The Stolen Village

The incredible story of an Irish village kidnapped, enslaved and taken to north Africa in the 1630s – and no one came to their rescue.

The Irish Crown Jewels

You’ve never heard of these? The story is unbelievable but true and when you find them in your back garden, I’ll want a percentage of your reward.

No better person to open our talks season.

When leading our school groups to the Easter Rising sites in Dublin, the students have always been delighted with his commentary and his expert analysis of the events of 1916.

We enjoyed your talk with its humorous anecdotes. You made your talk subjects come alive and gave us a better understanding of their times and background.
