On this sunny Monday edition of PBD: Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow – ranking the Eurovision favourites; Dancing in the Light – Day Fever comes to Dublin; And that they may face the rising son – a new cemetery near Wolfe Tone's burial place...

In 1898, tens of thousands of people paraded in Dublin for the unveiling of a foundation stone to a Wolfe Tone statue. So why did it not happen? Only in 1967 did Edward Delaney's tribute to Tone appear on St Stephen's Green. In this podcast, celebrating the fact the Tone monument is part of Dublin City Council's Dublin Winter Lights, Delaney's son and biographer joins me at the memorial to talk about one of my favourite Dublin statues.

After 60 years of performing, the Wolfe Tones are set to hang up their mics this year. But is their music respected enough? Should we acknowledge the importance of rebel songs more?

Patrick Geoghegan examines the life and death of Theobald Wolfe Tone - on the 225th anniversary of the 1798 Rebellion - and debates his remarkable legacy. He's joined by Professor Tom Bartlett, Emeritus Professor of Irish History, University of Aberdeen; Dr Catriona Kennedy, senior lecturer in the history department and member of the Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies at the University of York; Wolfe Tone relative William Atkins; and Dr Sylvie Kleinman, Visiting Research Fellow at the Department of History, Trinity College Dublin.

Wolfe Tone's Cordial Union Last week I attended an event in Parliament Buildings at Stormont, hosted by US Special Economic Envoy Joe Kennedy. There was a panel discussion on the impact of the Good Friday Agreement which involved myself, former DUP leader Peter Robinson; former Alliance Assembly Speaker Eileen Bell; Lady Daphne Trimble, President of the Ulster Unionist Party; and former SDLP leader Mark Durkan. First Minister designate Michelle O'Neill, DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson and UUP leader Doug Beattie were all present. Ceasefires NowNews from the Middle East continues to numb and outrage and anger most people. But we cannot give up. We have a duty to the people of Palestine to stay focussed on the demands to Stop the War - Support Humanitarian Initiatives - Start Peace Talks. The people of Israel and Palestine need the support of the international community. We are part of that community. Let us find ways to get our leaders to uphold international law. End the siege of Gaza. Free Palestine.  PULSEMickey Coleman , his wife Erin and their sons Micheál and Riordan were in An Cultúrlann last week on Belfast's Falls Road to launch Mickey's new book PULSE. Peter Canavan was there also along with mé féin. I never thought I would be on a panel with Peter Canavan - one of my footballing heroes and all Ireland champion with Tyrone. Twice. But there we were telling yarns and sharing songs and funny stories. And a bunch of fine singers from Glassdrummond entertained us and moved everyone with their rendition of The Brantry Boy. 

We must listen to each otherEfforts by the British government and the unionist parties to stymie the conversation on future constitutional change has actually brought a greater focus on the growing momentum around the upcoming unity referendum.  The criticism of An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar by the British Secretary of State and a range of unionist voices for daring to suggest that a United Ireland will happen in his lifetime is the latest example of unionist and Tory efforts to delegitimize the goal of Irish Unity.My Big ToeJim Donnelly is a Springhallion. His mother, May Donnelly, was one of the indomitable warrior women from the Upper Springfield who faced down hordes of British soldiers and RUC officers for decades while also combatting poverty and discrimination and rearing a good family. These mighty women are to be found in communities everywhere. The local ones are too many to name but I remember them all and I am grateful for their friendship and protection and comradeship. And I am always uplifted by the tenacity and good humour of these working class heroines, mostly mothers of large families, including Mrs Donnelly.Tom Dunn – the Peasant PatriotWell done to the people of Rostrevor who last week invited former President Mary McAleese to unveil a bronze statue to Tom Dunn – the Peasant Patriot - a local hedge school master and United Irish leader who taught ‘The Rights of Man' by Tom Paine and the writings of Wolfe Tone to local patriots. 

Scéalta Grá na h'Éireann continues to tell us the love stories behind some of the fascinating figures in Irish history. Did you ever think of Wolfe Tone as a Trinity College student, spotting girls on Grafton Street? Well Martha Witherington was the object of his affections and Paddy O Shea told Conor Tallon all about their story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What do Wolfe Tone, Robert Emmet & Mary Robinson all have in common? They were all members of The Hist in Trinity College, which has been confirmed by the Guiness World Records as the world's oldest college debating society. Stiff competition from Cambridge for the title influenced auditors of The Hist to settle the debate once and for all, sure that's what they've been practising for 253 years.

This Hedge School, recorded at the Electric Picnic, September 2023, was preceded by a performance of Paddy Cullivan's The Two Murders of Wolfe Tone, which can be viewed at paddycullivan.com. ‘He landed in France with one hundred guineas in his pocket and had come near to altering the destiny of Europe'—so said Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, of Theobald Wolfe Tone, who died 225 years ago. To discuss Tone's life and legacy, join History Ireland editor Tommy Graham in discussion with Paddy Cullivan, Sylvie Kleinman, Tim Murtagh and Fergus Whelan. The Hedge School series of podcasts is produced by History Ireland and the Wordwell Group.  For more information or to subscribe, visit historyireland.com

Wolfe Tone, U.S. Deloitte Private Leader & Vice Chair, joins the show to discuss Deloitte's recent survey of U.S. C-level private business leaders about their near-term strategies for navigating financial risks and opportunities. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yesterday, in Stradbally, The Wolfe Tones performed for the biggest crowd in Electric Picnic's Electric Arena since the festival started. Although many of the songs by the rebel music group were written before many attendees were born, the crowd had a wide range of ages – many of whom sang 'Oh, ah, up the Ra' to the band's song 'Celtic Symphony'. We wondered what it was like to be there in the thick of it all. Sean Defoe was joined by Sean Reidy, Newstalk's own, and Sharon Murray who were both at the Wolfe Tone gig.

Tom is very sad that Choc Ices have been discontinued. Paddy Cullivan believes that Wolfe Tone did not kill himself but was actually murdered. Mary has no legs but was not considered 'not disabled enough' to receive assistance for an adapted vehicle under the Primary Medical Cert.

Everything this week has revolved around the visit of an American President to Ireland. There were plenty of nods to history within it all, including a reference to Benjamin Franklin, but what you may have missed in Ballina concerned Wolfe Tone. One historical artifact shown to Joe Biden came from the tragic end of Theobald Wolfe Tone but to one U.S. Democrat interviewed in the 1980s, Tone was a personal hero. Donal Fallon joins Mandy Johnston for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.

As momentum grows behind a debate on neutrality, we're joined by Diarmaid Ferriter, professor of Modern Irish History at UCD, to look at its opaque history in Ireland. He explains how the seeds of the policy can be traced back far beyond the Free State, right back to Wolfe Tone. We also examine the previous attempts to move away from our 'militarily non-aligned status', how the government could approach the current debate, and also asks if the value of remaining a truly neutral state has been lost in the debate.

It seems appropriate that an episode featuring me taking a walking tour of Belfast with McConnell's Sarah Kennedy would sync up with the story of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It was a pivital time in Irish history, when a last ditch effort was made to separate from the control of Great Britain. Its an event that would echo down through Irish history - especially in Belfast and Northern Ireland. Hear the story of one of the rebellion's central figures and how one of the United Irishmen's own came to haunt one of Ireland's most historic distilleries. And enjoy a cruise around Belfast, where - dare I say, I tasted the greatest beer I've ever tasted. Cheers and Slainte mhaith!

Evolution of the Irish from Biblical times

Trainer Francis Finnegan joins Andrew Bensley to chat about his galloper Wolfe Tone who will be going over the jumps at Sandown on Sunday.

A Tortoise Shack member said that we should speak with writer, musician (and writer-musician) historical entertainment provider and grafter, Paddy Cullivan. So we called him up. We talked the arts, the government supports, the work that he misses so much and what that might look like in the future. Paddy, as always, speaks his mind in his pessimistically humorous way. His live show - The Murder of Wolfe Tone is on Friday the 19th of March, tickets are available HERE Join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack

Traditionally the third Sunday of June is when Irish republicans from across the island of Ireland gather at the graveside of Wolfe Tone in Bodenstown. Such annual commemorations have been taking place for almost 150 years.Tone's central thesis has remained a cornerstone of Irish Republican philosophy to this day. He wrote:“... to break the connection with England, the never, failing source of all our political evils, and to assert the independence of my country – these were my objects. To unite the whole people of Ireland, to abolish the memory of all past dissensions, and to substitute the common name of Irishman in place of the denominations of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter––these were my means.”My first trip to Bodenstown was as a teenager in the mid 1960s. Apart from periods of imprisonment I think I have been at Bodenstown almost every year since then. On Sunday Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald TD, who has previously spoken at Bodenstown on three occasions, will give the keynote address. This Sunday Mary Lou has a lot to talk about. Her speech comes at another decisive moment. As well as the unparalleled economic and health consequences of the pandemic there is the threat posed by Brexit. The British government is once again rushing toward the cliff edge and is intent on dragging the island of Ireland with it.However the big story of this week was the formal ending of the sham fight between the so-called civil war parties of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.The last decade has seen the gradual realignment of Irish politics. The growth of Sinn Féin, and an increasingly politicised electorate, especially among younger citizens, and a falling vote, has forced the two conservative parties ever closer.This week narrow party political self-interest forced Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to set all that play acting aside. In their Programme for Government 2020 Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil couldn't even bring themselves to mention a united Ireland or Irish Unity.So join us online for Mary Lou's Bodenstown speech on Sunday.It will be broadcast on Sinn Féin's Facebook, Twitter and Youtube pagesfacebook.com/sinnfeintwitter.com/sinnfeinirelandyoutube.com/sinnfeinireland

Shrine Seventeen: the lost souls.  Location:  55.197781, -7.553101 Fort Dunree and its surroundings are possibly the richest site from which to reflect on several momentous events in not just local history, but in our national heritage. Hear more in this audio piece from racontour founder, John Ward. Certain landscapes, such as the Boyne valley or Kinsale harbour, have borne witness to seminal dates in Irish history. Lough Swilly, whose name appropriately derives from the Gaelic for eyes, "suile" on account of St. Colmcille slaughtering a beast with many eyes on its shores, must rank highly amongst such sites. It is said that when the human memory has been outlived, the landscape remembers; peering across Lough Swilly from Dunree Head, feeling the Atlantic breeze upon one's face, take a few minutes to sense the redolence of momentous events that helped shape Ireland's destiny. To the left of the lough beyond Fahan lies the ancient seat of the high kings of Ireland at Grianan of Aileach.  On the right of the lough is the port of Rathmullan, where the old Gaelic order came to an end with the Flight of the Earls on the 14th September 1607. In the garrison town of Buncrana, the Irish patriot Wolfe Tone's crusade for Irish freedom came to an end on November 3rd 1798 after his boat The Hoche foundered and he was arrested. On the 18th September 1914, the inhabitants along the shore awoke to find the lough filled with warships, becoming the main base of the British fleet under Admiral Jellicoe in World War One. Finally, consider the very soil of Dunree itself and neighbouring Leenan fort, the last parcels of land to be handed back by the British to the Irish on the 3rd October 1938.  Consider the thousands of souls that have passed between Dunree and Saldanha Head across the lough: the forlorn hopes of Wolfe Tone before being apprehended; the despondency of the chieftains fleeing these shores, never to return; the imminent death of 274 people on the H.M.S. Saldanha on the 4th December 1811; the relief of an incoming British battleship at escaping the German mines or the gratitude of the wary traveller such as John Newton arriving on the 8th April 1748 from a tempest, immortalised in his song, Amazing Grace.
