SUMMARY:KDHS Monthly Lecture- The Disappeared: Forced Disappearances in Ireland 1798-1998 with Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc
DESCRIPTION:Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc is the historian who literally ‘knows where the bodies are’. He has spent over a decade researching the fate of ‘The Disappeared’\, the forgotten victims of the century’s long struggle for Irish freedom – the majority of whose bodies are still hidden deep in the Irish countryside. In 2018\, Ó Ruairc’s research led to the recovery of the remains of Private George Chalmers\, a British soldier who had been executed by the IRA in 1921 and secretly buried in a remote bog. Ó Ruairc has a PhD in History & a BA in Archaeology.\n‘The Disappeared: Forced Disappearances in Ireland 1798-1998’ is his seventh book.\nThe spectre of ‘the Disappeared’\, those abducted\, secretly executed and their bodies buried in remote locations\, has overshadowed the debate around the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland for the last two decades. Yet what most people don’t realise is that ‘forced disappearances’ have been part of violent political conflicts in Ireland for over 200 years.\nThis groundbreaking book\, the first of its kind\, looks at the history of this practice in Ireland and identifies all known victims over the last century\, from the North King Street Massacre in 1916 right up to 2003. Ó Ruairc cuts through the exaggeration and myth that pervade the popular history of the ‘Good Old IRA’ to prove that this organisation was particularly ruthless in using this course of action during the War of Independence and Civil War\, much more so than their successors in the Provisional IRA or the British forces in Ireland. The author also reveals how his research has helped locate several bodies of those long missing\, one of which has already been recovered and given a proper burial.\nBehind each disappearance there is the story of a life cut short and a family left searching for answers. Ó Ruairc deftly incorporates this human element\, preserving the memory of those who were disappeared on both sides of the conflict.\nPraise for The Disappeared\n‘Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc’s The Disappeared will be indispensable to students of Irish history for years to come’ – Eilis O’Hanlon\, The Sunday Independent\n‘brilliantly researched and highly unsettling’ – Andrew Lynch\, Business Post\n‘…a great and sometimes painful read\, which confronts a long-neglected topic’ – John Downing\, The Irish Independent\n‘Excellent.’ – Fortnight Magazine\n———–\nTo watch the lecture live online at the scheduled lecture time (or to watch a recording online at any subsequent time of your choosing)\, go to\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@kilrushanddistricthistor…/streams\nThere will be a live chat (text) facility to enable the remote audience to participate in the discussion.\n———-\nKDHS lectures are free to members\, EUR5 for non-members\, payable on the night only. New members are welcome. The annual membership fee (July-June) is EUR20.\nThe membership form can be downloaded from our website at\nhttp://kdhs.ie/assets/files/general/membership_form.pdf

SUMMARY:Open Mic Social hosted by Frank Golden
DESCRIPTION:The monthly open mic social at our Kilrush shop is a free event\, open to all.\nFor lovers of poetry\, flash fiction and any kind of creative writing. Come to read from your own work or to share a favourite piece by another writer\, or come to listen and support.\nTea\, coffee\, and treats provided.This is a free event\, but there will be a ‘Tip Jar’ if you would like to donate towards expenses.\nPoet Frank Golden has also published two novels\, and has received numerous bursaries\, awards\, and residencies. He lives in the Oughtmama Valley\, County Clare.\nHe will be reading from ‘IF YOU TOLERATE THIS’\, his sixth collection of poems.\nIF YOU TOLERATE THIS is a wide ranging work in six parts which nails its geo-political colours to the mast\, and casts a misanthropic eye over the whole morass. Failure and the blighted realities of both entitled and marginalised lives suffuse sections of the book devoted to Fordlandia\, Henry Ford\, lives in states of crisis in Central America and the Middle East. Poems concerned with eco dynamics not only dominate section 5 but inform the book as a whole. IF YOU TOLERATE THIS ends with poems that Golden wrote as he back-packed through Iran in 2019\, together with a poem that admixes the death of Gaddafi and the experiences of the poet’s father in Libya during the Second World War. This is a book with a large cast of characters\, both familiar and new\, who are as riven and corruptive as the age we live in.\nPraise for Golden’s last book of poems\, ‘GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU’ (SalmonPoetry)\n“Golden is a poet to get excited about… This is a startling and exciting collection.”Afric McGlinchy/Southward Journal\n“I have rarely been so moved by a book of poems.” Grace Wells/Fur\n“A fantastic new collection by Irish poet Frank Golden. It has floored me like no book of poetry has in a long time. Golden has an uncanny ability to touch on the things that move us most deeply.” Phil Hanrahan/Bookish Review
