...even though, unfortunately, not enough of them did.
'Ireland, 1920's : the six-year-old British DORA was used again against 'Enemies of the Crown' but, this time, Westminster's 'police force' in Ireland were to be allowed 'first refusal' in order to help circumvent any legalities that might arise further down the line...'
- that's the bare bones (almost!) of one of the twenty-two pieces we'll be posting here on Wednesday, 7th January 2026, in our first post of this new year in which, among other years and decades, we'll be referencing Irish history and political pieces from the 1920's, 40's and 70's.
'Ireland, 1920's - this man, 'Mr Murphy', like the rebel leader in whose company he was caught, was an influential and formidable character who inspired fear in the enemy and respect within the ranks of the rebels...'
'Ireland, 1920's - "Treachery!!", the Staters roared, as they realised that some of their own were only keeping company with them to gain access to information, arms and equipment which they passed over to their true comrades in the rebel army...'
'Ireland, 1920 : this loyalist political leader was concerned at the level of resistance to British misrule in the country, particularly in 'his patch' and, being a wealthy, well-connected businessman, set about organising a semi-official grouping, politically and physically armed, and was soon in command of tens of thousands of other anti-Irish elements...'
And there'll be a special mention to our female readers, in regards to a special day for us, in Ireland and abroad because...well, because we ARE special and we deserve it!
So do, please, give us a shout back here on Wednesday, 7th January 2026 : make it yer resolution to do so!
Thanks for the visit, and for reading, and we'll have more of that for ya on the 7th.
Sharon and the team.
