Eithne Mallin (b. 1959) ✓ In Stock

Eithne Mallin explains that she was born on Easter Saturday in 1959. The date was March 28th, the date on which Easter Sunday fell in 1916. She discusses her uncle, Fr Joseph Mallin, and his sister Úna who became a nun. They were regarded in her home as just family members and she does not recall any conversations about 1916. The family similarities between her father and Fr Joseph are also discussed. Eithne’s maternal grandfather was Gerald (Garry) Byrne who served in the 4th Battalion IRA based in Meath, though much of his training was undertaken in north Co. Dublin. He lived in Crumlin at that time. Michael Mallin lived in the Kilmainham/Rialto area. Eithne was born in Kilmainham and lived in a property owned by Michael’s sister, Cathleen Mallin. The Mallins originally came from near Clanbrassil Street. Eithne’s paternal grandfather was a carpenter. It is very important to Eithne to remember both the roles of Michael Mallin and of her grandfather Garry Byrne, and she remarks on the overshadowing of Garry Byrne even within her own family. As children in 1966 she and her two sisters knew that the Mallin connection was the more historically important, though they did not know the reason why this was so. Eithne has no clear memories about any family discussions on the Rising, and she says that it is just recently that her mother and her uncle have begun to talk about their father Garry. Six members of the Byrne family were involved in 1916, including the three brothers Garry, George and William who were IRB members. Their sisters May, Winnie and Kathleen were members of Cumann na mBan. A fourth sister was at that time too young to join. Eithne explains that Garry Byrne was very disappointed at the issuing of the Countermanding Order. Her uncle told her that every Easter during the years after the Rising Garry would be depressed because he had not served. Eithne reflects on the origins of Irish freedom which sprung from Easter 1916. She studied History at UCD and reme

Ulick O'Connor / Michael Collins and the Troubles: The Struggle for Irish Freedom 1912-1922 ✓ In Stock

When Asquith introduced his bill for Home Rule for Ireland in 1912, he sparked a decade of turbulence and violence for Ireland and her people. Michael Collins played a crucial role in rekindling Ireland's aspirations for freedom. A leading figure in the nation's bitter and bloody resistance to British Rule, he played a key part in reshaping Ireland's history as we know it today. Ulick O'Connor includes valuable new information about the secret war against England and provides a fresh and highly dramatic account of Ireland's fight for freedom. Using crucial material from the archives of General Richard Mulcahy, Collins's Chief of Staff, as well as personal interviews with Mulcahy, Eamon de Valera, and many other leading figures, Michael Collins and the Troubles is a vivid and often horrifying account of a turning point in Irish history, the consequences of which are still felt today.       This book is second hand, and while you may not get the same publication/version/reprint/edition shown in the picture it will be the same author and title. Removing existing stickers from a second hand book may damage it, so we refrain from doing so. Even if the picture shows no price stickers on the book they may be there on the copy you receive.
