Fin Dwyer - A Lethal Legacy - A History of Ireland in 18 Murders - HB -2023 ✓ In Stock

From the creator of The Irish History Podcast comes a fascinating look at Irish history through the lens of murder. In A Lethal Legacy , Fin Dwyer charts 200 years of Irish history, opening up our past as never before, by observing the grand societal changes of our times through the intimate lens of eighteen murders and the lives and communities they altered forever. From the creator of the critically acclaimed Irish History Podcast comes a ground-breaking exploration of the past, casting its gaze beyond the chambers of power and carnage of battle, and into the lives of the everyday people that lived through those violent centuries. From the desperate retributions of the Land War of the nineteenth century, through the unprecedented tumult of the revolutionary years, to the causes that helped to shape contemporary Ireland, these previously overlooked cases of human tragedy offer a fresh perspective on a history we think we know. Astonishing, illuminating and compelling, A Lethal Legacy chronicles Ireland’s turbulent past through one of our most enduring fascinations – the act of killing – and in mapping the causes and aftermath of these cases, Dwyer offers us a fresh new understanding of the fires that forged modern Ireland.   Published by Harper North, 2023.

JIM KENNY, AGE 79, TULLAMORE, (Part 1) ✓ In Stock

Our meeting took place at the Archaeological and Historical Society building in Tullamore. Jim started by telling me about the early part of his life, going to school in Bothar Fada, and after winning a County Council scholarship he attended the Christian Brothers' school in Tullamore. Before his final exams he contracted tuberculosis which resulted in a total change in career opportunities. After a period of convalescence at the small farm which was his home, he spent some time in various jobs, finally settling down with the Adams firm of solicitors while at the same time working with the Council as a rates collector. He was also an assistant officer with the Social Health Board (now called the Community Welfare Officer). After he retired, he went about recording the people whom he had befriended during the course of his work. That resulted in the collection of a vast treasure of oral history. All these recordings complement greatly the Irish Life and Lore series of recordings made within the county.
