Well. That’s what the public engaging with history looks like! Seems half the population of Mohill turned out last night to mark Dr Muldoon’s murder in 1923.
Fantastic input from Dr Padraig McGarty, Ken Boyle, @TimDesmond10 and audience.
And wait til you see the film! #Mohill

What a brilliant way to tell a town’s history: @FionnualaMaxwe1 gets to the heart of real people, and the children turn it into song and story.

@DrLeanneCalvert Also Jona Schellekens, Irish Famines and English Mortality in the Eighteenth Century? Broad figures on expectancy.

@DrLeanneCalvert Not sure if this will help: Statista shows Life expectancy (from birth) in the United Kingdom from 1765 with source info, but you need to sign up to an account to access it: https://t.co/0fT6Tdneed

@uniofgalway A must-add is the collection of letters between Boyle family members from south Leitrim, collected from both sides of the Atlantic by Tom Boyle and Ken Boyle. Dating from 1893, all were scanned, catalogued, transcribed and published privately in 2021 as 'The Boyles of Killaneen'.

@EpidemicBelfast @BCIrishStudies @PRONI_DFC Great article. Interestingly, the excellent @RCPIArchive online exhibition on smallpox in Ireland notes how the anti-vaccination campaign was associated with Irish nationalism, with GB Shaw and Eamon de Valera being members of the Anti-Vaccination League.
