Questions we’ve received via email, FB & Twitter …   Just for a minute, we’re going to move From the Present to the Past, and then roll forward: Let’s take a look at On This Day in Irish History: 7 December 1979 - Charles J. Haughey defeated George Colley to become leader of Fianna Fail (fee-AN-ə FOYL); he was elected Taoiseach on 11 December. 8 December 1939 - James Galway, the ‘man with the golden flute,” was born in north Belfast, the son of a shipyard worker. 13 December 1955 - Grace Gifford Plunkett, an Irish artist and cartoonist who was active in the Republican movement, and an Irish patriot, died. After the Rising, Grace’s brother-in-law Thomas MacDonagh was shot with PH Pearse and Thomas Clarke by firing squad. That day, Grace heard that her fiancée, Joseph Plunkett, was to be shot at dawn for his part in the Easter Rising. Easter Sunday was to have been their wedding day. So, she bought a ring in a jeweler’s shop in Dublin city centre and, with the help of a priest, Fr Eugene McCarthy, persuaded the military authorities to allow them to marry. Grace and Joseph were married just before midnight on May 3rd in the chapel of Kilmainham Gaol, just hours before his execution. After the wedding vows, Grace was then taken to a church friend’s, and then at 2am, was brought back to Kilmainham. She saw Joseph for ten timed minutes, with at least 1 solider present at all times, and was escorted out of the cell, and the jail.   O Grace just hold me in your arms And let this moment linger They’ll take me out at dawn, And I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won’t be time to share our love, For we must say goodbye Grace, the song, was written in 1985 by Frank and Seán O'Meara. Grace later spent 3 months in Kilmainham herself, arrested in 1923 as an anti-treaty advocate for her role in the Civil War that followed after Michael Collins signed the peace treaty with England See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
