I've just been trawling through RTÉ
Radio 1's site, looking for another programme, when I noticed that they're running a series called
Reputations, based on the TCD history department's
Contesting History course. Each programme deals,
in turn, with Patrick Pearse, Charles Stewart Parnell, Daniel O'Connell, Wolfe Tone, Hugh O'Neill and Diarmuid MacMurrough. Two historians act as 'prosecution' and 'defence' for each personality. In the first episode
Ruth Dudley Edwards and
Martin Mansergh discuss Pearse. This really is interesting stuff.
