#OnThisDay 1923 Michael Murphy & Joseph O’Rourke were executed for armed robbery of a bank in Tuam, Galway. Both said the money was to pay off farm debts, but the authorities said they had political links to the AT-IRA and that the money was used to buy guns for the AT-IRA. These were the last executions of the Civil War but are not usually listed among the 77 official Government executions during the Civil War.

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.
