A great podcast by Donal Fallon, Three Castles Burning, covering the Irish Language Freedom Movement protesting against compulsory Irish in schools in the 1960s. A fascinating listen:

Three Castles Burning: Flying Fists and Union Jacks

SEASON 3! A recent television debate on the Irish language in schools reminded me of a curious story from history. The Language Freedom Movement touches on many widely known figures in 1960s Ireland, including John B. Keane and the broadcaster Gay Byrne. In the Mansion House, a meeting descended into chaos.

An excellent edition of the Three Castles Burning podcast by Donal Fallon on: "The Foggy Dew: From Father O'Neill to Sinéad O'Connor"

Three Castles Burning: The Foggy Dew: From Father O'Neill to Sinéad O'Connor

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Sinéad O'Connor. The Foggy Dew is in itself a historic document. Written in 1919, this story of the Easter Rising and the contrasting World War has gone around the world. This episode of the podcast explores the song and its meaning, and how it came to bring together the incredible talents of The Chieftains and Sinéad O'Connor.
