September Lecture 2018

The Old Tuam Society is delighted to welcome Steve Dolan from the Irish Workhouse Centre, Portumna for our first lecture of the 2018-19 season. Steve's talk is entitled ‘The 1798 United Irishman Rebellion in Co Galway and its aftermath’ (Marking 220 years since the Year of the French). 

For eighteenth months the county had experienced unprecedented unrest as some sought to free Ireland from sectarian and divisive rule. This talk traces that period. Steve will also guide on the use of eighteenth century newspapers as a source for the century.
