We'll be posting at least sixteen pieces here on Wednesday, 21st January, 2026, mentioning various political and military instances and incidents that took place in Irish history between the 1840's and the early 2000's, but one of them in particular has thrashed and crushed me, personally, and fairly mopped the floor with the two lads, too. We can't get it out of our heads.
This dreadful incident left the three of us with aching souls and hearts.
Out of the many occurrences that have taken place in Ireland, North, South, East and West as a result of the political and military interference here by Westminster and by their proxies in Leinster House, this is one of the saddest episodes we've come across.
Unimaginable grief.
It's to do with an Irishman, in the 1920's, who rose up against British injustice and was caught and punished by them for doing so. He was a married man, sentenced to death by the British but allowed one last visit from his family.
It was on the way home from that visit that a second tragedy for the family occurred followed by a third tragedy for the family on the very day that the British hangman was oiling the lever...
Heartbreaking.
Thanks for the visit, and for reading - appreciated.
We'll be back on Wednesday, 21st January 2026.
Sharon and the team.
