Delighted to host an excellent talk in Richmond Barracks last night by @gerardshannon.bsky.social on Sean Russell.
Inspired me to root out this image showing Russell unveiling the monument on Upper Rathmines Road to Thomas O’Leary, whose body was dumped there in 1923.

My thanks so much to the engaged crowd in Richmond Barracks tonight for my talk on the controversial life and legacy of the IRA leader Seán Russell - and also to Dublin Culture Company and historian Donal Fallon for inviting me along.
(Please don't ask me to write a book about Seán just yet).

🧵 Harry Kernoff (1900-74) was one of Ireland’s greatest artists. He was important in that he introduced European modernism to Ireland & remained in the country despite its hostility to modern art. His art evolved from realism to surrealism, & finally, form-based abstraction. Enjoy his work! [1]

Last weeks column was on Feargus O'Connor, the Chartists and their relationship with Daniel O'Connell. I'm a great admirer of O'Connell on some fronts, but certainly not all.
"History has recast Daniel O’Connell as a liberal icon, but he was no revolutionary."

The centenary of Con Houlihan's birth fast approaches (December). I've given him a chapter in the forthcoming book 'The Dublin Pub'.
Here is a lovely piece of writing from him on Paul McGrath, and the football team from Emmet Road who Con adopted in Dublin.
