Molly Maguires talk – video and audio now available

The Sean O’Casey Community Centre recently hosted a talk on the Molly Maguires, by New York writer John Kearns. The event was part of “The road to the Lockout” series organised by the East Wall History Group, and was a co-production with Seven Towers, the East Wall based publishers.

Not only was the evening itself very successful, but there was also wide spread media interest in John Kearns and the Mollies. In addition to the audio and video material presented here – John also appeared on the Pat Kenny show; the event was covered on the History Show on Newstalk and promoted on numerous websites.

Here are links to some material which we hope you enjoy –
