“Nothing but a bullet will stop me”: de Valera’s 1923
October 7 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
A talk by broadcaster and author Dr David McCullagh.
De Valera began 1922 as President of the Irish Free State. By early 1923 he was a hunted man, in danger of execution if caught by Free State forces, politically side-lined among republicans and powerless to end the Civil War.
But in those darkest of days, he sowed the seeds of his political rebirth, rebuilding a political organisation that could appeal beyond Republican ranks.
