Unmarked Graves: The Human Cost Of Ireland's Independence | In The Name Of The Republic (2022x174)

Air date: Dec 27, 2022

For some the Anglo-Irish War is viewed through rose tinted glasses, a heroic struggle against an Imperialist monster and the Civil War a brave and honourable attempt to disentangle the country from an ill judged Treaty that did not deliver on the nation’s aspirations. But there is a much darker story to be told of the often innocent men shot as spies and made to disappear. In The Name of the Republic is a two part documentary series following eminent Historian, Professor Eunan O’Halpin as he explores this dark side of Irish republicanism.
