Can you imagine the terror and chaos of having your close-knit community in the remote Irish village of Maamtrasna turned upside down by a gruesome crime? Experience this gripping tale from 1882 as we unravel the horrific attack on the Joyce family and the chilling aftermath that provoked fear and suspicion among locals, ultimately leading to a controversial trial under the newly passed Prevention of Crimes Act. Welcome to a world where tales of dark mysteries and unjust convictions come alive. As we delve into the Joyce family massacre, we track the investigation that led to the arrest of ten men, despite the lack of substantial evidence. We analyse the dramatic turn of events in the trial room, where a change of statements by two of the accused and the daunting language barrier added layers of complexity to this already twisted case. We'll dissect the controversial executions and expose the wrongful convictions that sent shockwaves through Ireland and beyond. We don't stop at the trial; join us as we delve into the aftermath and the long-lasting effects of this historical crime. We will scrutinise the posthumous pardon of Miles Joyce in 2018 and explore the lingering questions surrounding the crime - was there a secret society involved? What were the motivations behind the murders? Get ready to explore one of Ireland's darkest chapters through a riveting story that will leave you questioning justice and the self serving human capacity for truth and deception.

To kick it off right, we wanted to say "top of the mornin' to ye ''' but seeing as how that's just a silly Hollywood invention, we are instead going to say "A hundred thousand welcomes."    Before we get into the meat and potatoes of this episode, I reached out to a friend of ours, Katie, who's father is directly from Ireland. I asked her to see if he had any sort of creepy interactions over there. She also reached out to a cousin who lives over there and I received this message, this morning:   Oh boy I hit the jackpot reaching out to my cousins in Ireland I had no idea about this but here's her message.    Ohhh some that I've heard, well as it happens

The Maamtrasna murders were sparked by a blood feud in a remote part of 19th century Ireland. A family of five was killed by neighbours - but the trial proved to be just as notorious as the murders. It was held in English and some of the defendants, who were from Connemara, could not speak the language. Professor Margaret Kelleher of University College Dublin and Mr Justice Peter Kelly, president of Ireland's High Court, discuss the case and political context in Dublin's historic Green Street courthouse, scene of the trial. Presented and produced by author and journalist Martina Devlin For more on Margaret Kelleher’s book The Maamtrasna Murders: Language, Life and Death in Nineteenth-Century Ireland follow the link: https://www.ucdpress.ie/display.asp?isbn=9781910820421&

However at the last minute new evidence emerges. This is sent to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland of Ireland John Poyntz Spencer.

In Part I of this series on the Maamtrasna murders I looked at one of the most brutal killings in 19th century Ireland when the Joyce family were attacked in their remote home in Maamtrasna on the Mayo-Galway border.This podcast follows looks at the trials. While the police made a major break through within days of the murder a botched attempt at swift justice would see the story of the trials become nearly as famous the murders themselves.www.facebook.com/irishhistorypodcastwww.twitter.com/irishhistoryEmail: history@Irishhistorypodcast.ie  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Prior to 1882, Maamtrasna a remote townland in the west of Ireland, was known to few outside Co. Galway. That all changed on the night of August 17th 1882 when one of the most brutal murders in 19th century Ireland took place there.Five members of the Joyce family were killed in a horrific and disturbing attack. In a deeply unnerving aspect of a case still shrouded in mystery, the perpetrators were almost certainly known to the victims.This first podcast looks at what exactly happened in Maamtrasna on that fateful summers night in 1882 before looking at some possible motives. Following shows will look at the trials and scandal that followed brutal murders.Follow the show atwww.facebook.com/irishhistorypodcastwww.twitter.com/irishhistory   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
