Unfortunately we have just been notified that Forest Issac Jones is unwell and unable to travel to Ireland.

We wish him a speedy recovery and hope that we get to listen to him soon.

Who benefits when history reduces Rory O’Connor to a single moment? Come to the launch & argue (politely): was O’Connor a doomed idealist, a strategic genius, or the one figure we still misunderstand most?
