#OTD Harry Boland is laid to rest in Glasnevin Cemetery, beside Cathal Brugha as he requested on his deathbed. His brother Gerald was not granted parole to attend. The scene was captured in a painting by Jack B. Yeats. #boland100

@beogodeo @EoinPoil @tomasocarthaigh @RMcGreevy1301 @Aontaithe2021 @mickserh I don't think harry knew about about Haughey's accounts in his name. I'm fairly sure Kevin mentions him in his books, he wasn't a fan.

We bring you 'Dublin 1920'

We teamed up with @faughsgaa to commemorate the club winning the All Ireland hurling title of 1920 (the competition was only completed in 1922 due to the War Of Independence) - representing Dublin.

In the film he dies in a Dublin sewer scene.

Imagine your family member maligned like that in one of the biggest fims in Irish history, over a 26 year period. Generations of that family having to deal with correcting people, banter, etc.

@d_loing @FaughsGAA @harryboland100 @HarryBolands It was great to have him on the day! Lovely to make the family connection, as we may not have existed if it wasn’t for people like Gerry and Harry.

@DaithiMacTaig @david_flood @LifeTenement ... the Church fought the IRB for control of organisations like the GAA. It ended in a messy compromise in the revolutionary period - Catholic republicanism. But the Civil War gave them the chance to take over, the FS was happy for them to take charge of social Ireland.

[Harry Boland Memorial @harryboland100]

@DaithiMacTaig @david_flood @LifeTenement ... when the Catholic Church could freely reorganise in Ireland, they could extend their social control with new churches and priests everywhere. They allied with the Irish Party to push them towards a Catholic Ireland, strongly opposed by the anti-sectarian IRB...

@HeGreetswitfire @TG22110 American tap dancing is a mix of European styles, including flamenco and Irish hard shoe dancing (the latter largely courtesy of Gene Kelly).
