Hi Ken,

No not read it.  Have visited Ireland many times, both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.  While visiting done various tours, museums etc.  All extremely interesting.

Have not read it, but will seek a copy - thank you for the heads up.  Just finished Immortal Irishman by Timothy Egan, that begins with that time period in Ireland.  Excellent read.
