Death in The Dublin Slums

In 1913 Dublin was a city in turmoil. Riddled with relentless poverty and row after row of filthy and dilapidated tenement housing the formerly grand Georgian Streets that had been the playground of the Anglo Irish Ascendency became a death trap for the 1000s of working class families that now lived in overcrowded homes built for the elite landowning overlords of Ireland. Every day the residents of Dublin's tenements faced disease, death and hunger in the eye and the year of 1913 would see their bones broken by the masonry of their decrepit homes and the batons of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. In September of that year two crowded tenement homes crumbled into the crowd killing 7 of their residents. This is the story of that sad day and of the bravery of a young man named Eugene Salmon who gave his life to save his siblings.

The Hanging of The Kearney Family

The Hanging of Kearneys | A Miscarriage of Justice? | Dublin in 1816 | Ireland In the early 1800s the peace of Glenasmole Valley was forever broken by the disappearance of a despised land steward who worked on a nearby estate belonging to the powerful Shaw family. One evening John Kinlan walked out into the darkness a mountain laneway and seemingly vanished from the face of the earth. His disappearance led to the arrest of Peter Kearney and his four sons. The body of Kinlan would never be found but despite this the authorities and local landlords contrived to exact a terrible revenge on a rebellious mountain family that would see their lives extinguished by the hangman's rope on the bank of The River Dodder. This is the story of the hanging of the Kearneys of Piperstown, a family who rebelled with the United Irishmen and gave sanctuary to Robert Emmet, the powerful land owning families who sought to make an brutal example of them and a hated magistrate and landlord who himself was destined to meet a brutal end. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
