Five Places Left For Tomorrow

Old Drogheda Society

 

There are just 5 places left for the  Old Drogheda Society/ Drogheda Museum Millmount Annual John Boyle O'Reilly Autumn School takes place tomorrow October 18th, in the Governor's House, Millmount, Drogheda from 10am to 5pm. Bookings are now being taken. 

This year's theme is "1916- Myth or Reality". 

In the run up to the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, we look at 1916 in its social, national and European context and try to begin to unravel the myths from the historical reality of this period.

We also will have an update on the ongoing research into the sensational revelations in the recently discovered John Boyle O’Reilly letter of May 1870. This will be given by O’Reilly’s biographer - leading historian, writer and broadcaster Ian Kenneally.
