Talking History with Patrick Geoghegan
On this episode of Talking History, Dr Patrick Geoghegan reflects on the life and legacy of Eoin MacNeill, the man best remembered for issuing the countermanding order in 1916, but whose career was far more significant and enduring. He's joined by Dr Emer Purcell, medieval historian, publications officer for the National University of Ireland and coeditor of 'Eoin MacNeill: the Pen and the Sword'; Conor Mulvagh, coeditor of same, and Associate Professor of Modern Irish History at University College Dublin; Senator Michael McDowell, grandson of Eoin MacNeill; and Dr Elva Johnston, Associate Professor at the UCD School of History and author of 'By blood and by tradition’: race and empire in Eoin MacNeill’s interpretation of early Ireland.
