Episode 10- 'I declare before my God'- The wrongful execution of Brian Seery-1846

Send us Fan MailIn the summer of 1846, the town of Mullingar became the stage for a tragedy that should never have happened. A young man named Brian Seery was accused, condemned, and executed—swiftly, publicly, and, as many would later argue, wrongfully. His death was meant to bring closure to a frightened community.
