Mutiny at the Curragh, A.P. Ryan, First Edition, First Printing, 1956, Macmillan, Hardback in Dustjacket. “ A charge and counter-charge were made in Parliament and divided public opinion in the hectic political atmosphere of the period just before the First World War. The charge was that the Cavalry Brigade, Commanded by Brigadier General Gough, had mutinied because they refused to obey the orders of the Liberal Government and, being Conservative playboys, would not march into Ulster. Mr Ryan tells the story of the alleged “mutiny” against a background of bitter dissention between Conservatives and Liberals and of growing nationalism in Ireland.” Great Irish Speeches with Foreword by Colm Toibin, Richard Aldous, First Edition, 2007, Hardback in dust jacket including the CD in file pocket. “This stirring anthology is a celebration of 50 speeches that have shaped Irish history.
