A talk I gave in October 2015 titled Arthur Griffith and the Easter Rising, for Old Drogheda Society/ Drogheda Museum Millmount’s Annual John Boyle O’ Reilly Autumn School ‘1916 – Myth and Reality’, at Drogheda Museum.
A day of the latest cutting-edge historical research, with a scope both local and national (and even international!) presented by innovative and original historians and much of which has not yet even been published! We look again at the Easter Rising of 1916 in its social, national and European context and try to begin to unravel the myths from the historical reality of this period.
