Here’s two new stories recorded by the lads behind Storymap, uploaded since my 3 minutes and 25 seconds of fame recently talking about Vonolel the war horse. A labour of love, Storymap has been documenting great Dublin tales from all corners of Dublin and both sides of the river.
Firstly, Liz Gillis, author of the recent excellent study of the Civil War in Dublin entitled ‘The Fall of Dublin’ with Mercier Press. Liz talks about Conn Colbert and Watkin’s Brewery during the Easter insurrection in 1916.
This weeks story features actor Val O’Donnell, as tells a great tale about ‘Myles na gCopaleen’ and his campaign over Andy Clarkin’s clock in the 1950’s.
