Republicanism #2: The Irish One

Episode Two of our Republicanism mini-series is all about the history of the Irish Republican tradition. We start with Wolfe Tone and work through the definitive Nineteenth century up to the start of the Twentieth, highlighting the influence that French Republicanism had on Ireland and detailing where the different ideological threads that make up Irish Republicanism started to develop. Glen and Helen are joined on this ambitious journey by Ciara and talk The Battle of Widow McCormick's Cabbage Patch, The Republic of Connaught and why the Irish Republican Brotherhood loved a good cricket match. Support the show
