(Happy birthday also to Dr O'Hara's wife! More info in episode). Columbanus aficionado Dr Alexander O'Hara brings us through Columbanus' auspicious beginnings as a handsome aristocrat in Leinster, his superlative scholarly career in Bangor, his illustrious travels around Europe and the cosmopolitan mixed monastic communities he founded in Annegray, Luxeuil and Bobbio.

At Easter, we annually commemorate an event which transformed the course of Irish history - The Easter Rising of 1916. But one man almost prevented it all from going ahead. Historian, language scholar and later politician, Eoin MacNeill was one of the most important and influential men in Irish public life but his place in history was very much in doubt after 1916 - a Rising he opposed. So who saved his career and, more importantly, his reputation? Donal Fallon joined Gavan Reilly for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.

Larry Snow with your security driver news flash briefing for Monday, April 10th 2018.   Hertz Asia Launches Hertz Chauffeur Website Hertz Chauffeur is now available from www.hertzchauffeur.com for bookings in Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Eoin MacNeill, Vice President, Hertz Asia Pacific, said: "The launch of the Hertz Chauffeur website for travelers visiting Asia strengthens Hertz's comprehensive range of transport solutions, to suit the evolving needs of all our customers. Mr. MacNeill goes on to say "We see Hertz Chauffeur benefitting corporate and leisure travelers seeking the comfort and ease of a personal chauffeur. The service will especially appeal to customers who, due to local legislation, are not permitted to drive in China and those who simply want to enjoy extra peace of mind when traveling to any of the countries where the service is available." The new website allows customers to book a vehicle with a driver in four simple steps, receive an email confirmation with booking details, and easily create, manage and edit their own itineraries. Renting chauffeurs, and ride-hailing companies like Uber and even Taxi services brings up an interesting point of who is driving your executives and staff.  Considering that one of the leading causes of death in the United States is car accidents, why do we put so much faith in a complete stranger to take us from point A to point B? There are huge implications and risks some that have come to bear with Uber drivers kidnapping, robbing and sexually assaulting riders. In a security setting, there are in most cases, security drivers. These drivers do much more than just drive from point A to point B. Security drivers must have the skill and knowledge to move a principal from point A to point B in a safe and secure manner in a variety of environments. In fact, Security Driving is better called Secure Transportation which includes an in-depth knowledge, and a measured level of skill to conduct route surveys; recognize and develop safe havens – alternate route plans, and develop emergency evacuation plans, along with emergency medical and surveillance detection skills. Why these skills? There is a simple explanation – statistics have indicated that the overwhelming majority of security incidents involving corporate executives – and high-profile individuals, including government and military, have occurred while the targeted individual was in or around their vehicle. Therefore, in the educated market of protective services history and common-sense dictates security practitioners address the incidents that have the highest probability of occurrence – which is traveling by vehicle. So, the next time your executive is traveling in the US or more particularly overseas, ask the question who is driving your executive? Who do you want to drive your executive?  A professional who has been measured to an objective and documented standard that has been scientifically measured or a driver who was hired a few days before your trip through Facebook or worse yet on Craigslist.

In this episode we examine the development of the British politics with the passing of the Parliament Act in 1911, which effectively neutered the influence of the House of Lords by limiting its veto to only two uses. This meant that Home Rule was suddenly more possible than ever before, but standing in the way of this eventuality were the Unionists, emboldened by Sir Edward Carson and determined to voice their dissaproval in a Solemn League and Covenant, and resist HR by force, if necessary. Thus began the North's militarisation of Irish life before 1914, and thus began the critical step towards imminent civil war... As prominent Irish scholar and nationalist Eoin MacNeill wrote, 'The North Began'. Remember history friends, you can help this podcast and ensure that this is where history thrives!

This is an extract of an interview with Fionan Lynch for the Irish Life and Lore 1916 Oral History project. Fionán Lynch was Captain of F Company in the week before the Rising, during a period which he describes as “a week of rumours”. On Good Friday 1916, Fionán Lynch was ordered to go to King Street and Church Street, where he was to be positioned during the week. He recalls reading, with Gearóid O’Sullivan, the Countermanding Order issued by Eoin MacNeill in the Sunday Independent, following which they brought the newspaper to Seán McDiarmada at 44 Mountjoy Street, who was bitterly disappointed. The quietness of the first three days of Easter Week are described, as is the heavy fire of Wednesday morning at North King Street, and the house to house fighting, resulting in many civilian casualties. The handing over of the arms of the Irish Volunteers after the surrender is described, and the character of The O’Rahilly is recalled. Fionán Lynch also details the journey to Portland Prison in England Fionán Lynch describes the reception afforded to the Volunteers on their release from prison and return to Ireland. His subsequent work in canvassing with Tomás Ashe in Clare is also recalled, as is his attendance at the first Roger Casement Commemoration in Tralee, Co. Kerry, in 1917. That year, he was arrested and sentenced to two years imprisonment in Mountjoy Jail, where he and others went on hunger strike, resulting in the death of Ashe. Fionán Lynch records the fact that he was the last person to speak to Ashe before his death. To hear more, go to Irishlifeandlore.com
