Pluid – Scéal na mBlocanna H 1976-81 ✓ In Stock

I 1976 thosaigh rialtas na Breataine ag maíomh nach raibh i bpríosúnaigh phoblachtacha sa tuaisceart ach coirpigh. Sheas na príosúnaigh air gur cimí polaitiúla a bhí iontu: dhiúltaigh siad éide an phríosúin a chaitheamh agus obair an phríosúin a dhéanamh. Idir 1976 agus 1981 mhair na céadta díobh ina gcillíní sna Blocanna H gan d’éadaí acu ach pluid, agus a mbanchromrádaithe i bPríosún Ard Mhacha ar stailc níocháin. Chríochnaigh agóid na pluide le stailc ocrais a tharraing aird an tsaoil mhóir agus fuair deichniúr bás. Agus Eoghan Mac Cormaic as Doire faoi ghlas sna Blocanna H, chaith sé 1,960 lá ar an agóid seo: 1,580 lá ‘ar an phluid’ agus stailc níocháin, agus 380 lá ar stailc oibre i ndiaidh na stailceanna ocrais. Cuireann sé síos anseo ar an saol sna Blocanna, idir gháire agus ghruaim. Is scéal corrach é, scéal daonna, agus scéal tábhachtach. Bronnadh an chéad duais le haghaidh ábhar léitheoireachta don fhoghlaimeoir fásta ar an leabhar seo i gComórtais Liteartha an Oireachtais 2021.

Denis Barrett (b. 1931) and Mary Barrett ✓ In Stock

Mary Barrett describes the roles played by her grandmother, Rosalie Rice of Kenmare, Co. Kerry, and of her cousins, Tim and Eugene Ring of Valentia, in sending the telegram to America to alert the world that Ireland had risen in arms at Easter 1916. Her father Denis explains that there had previously been a series of coded messages relating to a sick mother sent from the post office in Kenmare to the cable station on Valentia Island. The final coded message read “Mother operated on successfully today” (meaning, “The Rising has begun”). Denis discusses the network relating to information and the code used. The telegrams were sent from Dublin to Kenmare and on to Valentia, where the cable station was the contact point for America. Denis explains that there was a compound around the station which was heavily guarded by 2,000 soldiers and a British battleship at each entrance to the harbour. Despite this security being in place, two IRB men, Tim and Eugene Ring, were sending significant cables out to the world. Following an investigation by British Intelligence, the route by which the messages were sent was discovered. Rosalie Rice, who worked at the post office in Kenmare, was one of those arrested. She was detained at the Great Southern Hotel in Kenmare, charged with high treason and condemned to death. Her son Denis explains the reason why his mother was not executed. This was due to American influence. He recalls the fact that she never spoke much about her activities unless directly asked. She is described as a quiet and witty individual. She was the daughter of George and Ellie Rice, and Ellie was a member of Cumann na mBan. Rosalie married William Barrett from Buttevant, Co. Cork, and on her marriage she retired from her job. Each summer during his childhood, Denis would spend the holidays with his grandmother Eleanor ‘Ellie’ in Kilmurry, Kenmare. She is remembered as a strong woman whose daughter and sons were involved in the national struggle. She refused to sp
