About this Event

"Equality - It is new-strung and shall be heard"

Join public historians Sean Napier & Colm Dore on their epic 1798 journey through Dublins hidden and illustrious past.

Its inspiration was a young Dublin Barrister, Theobald Wolfe Tone, who was invited to Belfast by Presbyterian radical republicans after publishing a pamphlet titled.. 'An Argument on Behalf of the Catholics of Ireland'

Wolfe Tone, Thomas Russell and Samuel Neilson draft the three resolutions of the United Irishmen that were to guide republicans for the next two centuries. Dublin becomes a hotbed of revolution and republicanism.

The political thinking of Tone and his associates was strongly influenced by the democratic principles of the French revolutionary ideals of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” and it was natural that they should turn to France for help.

Revolution was in the air!
