As history progresses, and we learn of our respective pasts, a theme begins to present itself.Those in power would like to display this theme as something they had developed.They would like you to believe that it is as a result of their decisions that things became better.They would like you to believe that they were the architects of change.That they were the decision makers which led to you having the freedoms you hold.They would like you to believe that they gave you the freedom to do what you want, when you want to do it and how you want to do it.The reality is, throughout history, as the masses of people are forced through the norms of time by those in charge, from time to time, one of us rises.They’ll stand up and look around, breath the air and see something better on the horizon.Then with an almighty burst of fear and courage they will run at the wall.When the wall comes down, like sheep we all see the gap and follow them through with ease.Let us not forget, the first through the wall always gets bloody.What does it take to become one of these people?It’s the life of an Irish women which answers this question for us.This is her story.Today’s music was written, preformed and produced by Ryhan O’HalloranThe story was researched and scripted by OranIf you want to help support this podcast, you can buy us a coffee atwww.buymeacoffe.com/wetheirish or leave us a review on your podcast app.

In another lifetime, one of gore and blood, men were thrust into the chaos of war.They decision to go, for some was not one made through own agency or with true visions ofwar.Death, destruction, gore and suffering were not the messages on the flyers distributed tothe young men of the world.Instead, glory, glory, glorious glory was the theme of those in politics looking to fulfil theirown sadistic egos which disregarded death as just another tax the name on the street mustpay.With no real images of war available to be streamed into homes as can be done today, therealities of war were not a reality one ordinary people were accustomed to.Visions of foreign lands were shared with the young and war would be their avenue toexplore the planet which remained alien for them.If you lived in this time, what might your life have looked like?What would your Christmas look like?It is the story of a man from Greystones, Wicklow which answers these questions for us.This is his story.This episodes music was written, preformed and produced by Ryhan O’HalloranThe story was researched and scripted by Oran.If you want to help support this podcast, you can do so by buying us a coffee atwww.buymeacofee.com/wetheirish or leave us a review on your podcast app.We the Irish is an Ireland loves production See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
