We're working on a 15-piece post for Wednesday, 17th January 2024 and, as we're only about halfway through it as I type, I won't delay ya (or meself!) too long.
Among the pieces we'll be covering is one particular inspiring occurrence from the 1970's about a deep dive (!) that Irish republican POW's entered into, so as not to seal (!) their fate...
From the 1950's - Cork republicans were up early (!) to study, hear and learn about these objectives...
From the 1830's in Ireland - an awkward bind for Westminster ; how do you appear to punish a well-known Irish political figure without actually 'properly' punishing him, and without being so severe in the punishment that you drive him to become a 'radical'...?
From 1922 - a group of men in Dublin put their plan in action to 'announce' themselves but perhaps showed their hand too much by announcing that no physical resistance would be offered if the 'authorities' objected...
In the early 1900's, this Irish politician was 'advised' by the pro-British 'police force' to vacate a particular building in Belfast by the back door, but refused the 'advice', which brought an unexpected response from the 'cops'...
There'll be at least another nine pieces from much the same time periods as above, all going on this blog on Wednesday, 17th January 2024.
Give us a shout on the 17th, if ya can - now, back to another century for me, to do a wee bit of investigating..!
Thanks for the visit, and for reading ; see ya Wednesday!
Sharon and the team.
