The latest History Ireland is just out and on the shelves.
Some features of interest to Come Here To Me readers would include Séamus Nevin’s look at Georgian Ireland’s property bubble. It’s a fascinating look at an eighteenth century collapse with an errie resemblance to today. “Pre-Union, an acre of Dublin land typically fetched more than three times its London equivalent. By 1820,however, its value had halved.”
Brian Hanley has an interesting article looking at the response to the Bloody Sunday massacre in the south. This article looks at nationwide protest, but pays particular attention to the burning of the British embassy in the capital.
Joseph E.A Connell Jr continues his ‘Countdown to 2016’ feature, this time looking at the return of Thomas Clarke to Dublin following his release from Pentonville Prison.
I’ve enjoyed the contributions of Lar Joye, curator of military history at the National Museum of Ireland, to the magazine with regards to some of the artefacts in the museum’s collection. This issue sees him take a look at the uniform of Roger Casement’s Irish Brigade.
Personally, I’ve a review of The Men of Arlington in this issue, a wonderful documentary looking at Arlington House in Camden, home to generations of Irish migrants in London. It features alongside the usual reviews of telly, books and theatre but this issue marks the welcome arrival of ‘Radio Ear’, a look at recent historical content on the airwaves.

Come Here To Me! 
It’s a bit pricey but a very good magazine. There is a documentary about Arlington house out there somewhere. It was on the TV in the last few months.
The article on the Ancient Order of Hibernians is excellent, looking at a forgotten but major part of nationalist politics prior to 1921 (and in Ulster thereafter).
