Remembering the Lost Counties of Ulster
from Realms of Memory · host Rick Derderian
Typically left out of the story of the partition of Ireland are the three lost counties of Ulster. These are the counties of Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan that were excluded from what became Northern Ireland despite their historic ties and shared stand against the creation of an independent Irish state. If Dublin and Belfast failed to form closer ties, it is impossible to understand why without considering the lost counties. If the Republic of Ireland struggled to come to terms with its own diversity, the history of the lost countries was a significant impediment. Remembering the lost countries of Ulster with University College Dublin Professor Edward Burke, coming to the June 3rd episode of Realms of Memory.
