On Sunday next, March 20th, community historian, Brendan Matthews will, present a Walk ‘n’ Talk Tour of Drogheda regarding the remarkable and significant events that took place in Drogheda during the Spring and Summer of 1922 and the ensuing conflict that took place between the Pro-Treaty and Anti-Treaty Forces.
Based on newly researched material, Brendan will reveal for the first time some startling and thought-provoking new evidence concerning the local activities of both the Free State Soldiers, the Anti-Treaty IRA and; Cumann na mBan as the country was gripped in a bitter Civil War.
