This man’s fluency is impressive. Yes, he had his digital notes, but he has passionate command of his subject. I am SO looking forward to my first-ever visit to Ireland! Paul Trusten Midland, TX USA (once the independent Republic Of Texas, 1836-1845)

Not very much in this lecture about the Wake, but an interesting gloss on Irish political history from 1916 to 1939.
