County Clare, 1920's - was the meeting in a pub between the IRA representative and the 'Special Branch' man an arranged rendezvous or was it by chance?
Was the 'Branchman' lured there by the promise of meeting an informer, or in the hope of recruiting one?
Was the IRA man a 'double agent' meeting his 'handler'?
So many questions, so many permutations...but not too long to wait until they are answered.
...or will they be answered..?
That's just one of the 13 pieces that we'll be posting about here on Wednesday, 21st August 2024 -
County Louth, 1920's - "Incidentally, one of the IRA/NFE Volunteers was apparently recognised by one of the wounded RIC members, but no such charge was brought against him ; the RIC member knew that there would be a price to pay for doing so..."
Ireland, Austria and Mexico, and an Irish political and military 'Godfather' - a story spanning from the 19th Century into the 20th Century, involving an Irish connection, of course (!), and money and guns...and one woman in particular...
...but we'll say no more for now : we'll be haulding our wheesht (!) on the above, and ten other stories, until Wednesday, 21st August 2024.
Thanks for the visit, and for reading : and don't forget us on the 21st!
Sharon and the team.
