Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
For some the Anglo-Irish War is viewed through rose-tinted glasses, a heroic struggle against an Imperialist monster and the Civil War a brave and honourable attempt to disentangle the country from an ill judged Treaty that did not deliver on the nation s aspirations. But there is a much darker story to be told of the often innocent men shot as spies and made to disappear. In The Name of the Republic is a two part documentary series following eminent Historian, Professor Eunan O Halpin as he explores this dark side of Irish republicanism. At the spine of the story is a dig at one of the burial sites which Tile Films have exclusive access to. education: Does anybody know the names of the two tans in Sing Sing at the end of part 1. My great uncle Bertie and comrade were abducted by the IRA in November 1920. They were subsequently executed. Their bodies were never returned at the end of the war of independence.
Re-listening to Jim Fitzgerald retailing of the story, he mentions that the two were picked up at Emmett Place. This is consistent with the official narrative. The portrayal does appear to be of Bertram Agnew and Lionel Mitchell.

It all stems from the Brits stirring the population up and creating dangerous factions as a reaction to their presence. The IRA was a potential solution but it called all the wrong people and filled its ranks with murderous bandits who stalk and intimidate. Even members that were doing this for noble reasons would get corrupted.

If a change is not done quickly (a simultanious takeover) or is done in the sneaky way the socialists did (by infiltrate every authority and secure being the majority there); a total failure is the most common result, because the enemy (foreign regime) will have time to grow, plan and have the unbeatable power to win.

One of the best documentaries I ve ever seen on the IRA and the invasion of Ireland. Boy those guys were absolutely ruthless. I ve never heard of Sing Sing prison in Cork, but it s definitely on the bucket list to see when I go over to Cork next. Where is the bog/forest where they executed all those people?

I wonder what the motivation of the pro-British Irish was. were they endeared to the British thru something akin to patriotism? .or were rewards offered for information? . should have included this in your otherwise very good documentary

Any chance of exploring the dark side of unionists and the tories and how many people disappeared under their watch or how about just getting them to own up to the atrocities they are responsible for

Ireland now ruled by Brussels repopulated by forced immigration and led by the dictates of tyrants. Sold out by Sinn Fein / IRA, traitors to a man.

Of course, nobody will talk, because they were afraid, it was ingrained in their dand a, it followed them through their families and their jobs.

My grandfather, a McGarrity, tried to arrange with the Germans to invade Northern Ireland, to rid our country of the blight of British tyranny.
