#OnThisDay 1916 Joseph Plunkett was executed in Kilmainham Gaol. Just hours before his death, Plunkett was married to republican artist Grace Gifford. They were allowed 10 minutes in a cell together with a soldier counting down. They mostly sat in silence.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
