"Cuchulain.... Died defending Ireland from invaders." NO! Cuchulain (if he existed) died fighting IRISH enemies. Clearly "you need to know the old legends, and Mr. Yeats' plays about them."

That is, the British consul in town will probably help if you want to contact the British Council, but he does not work for them.

Hi, I do love your podcast and all the different researchers/readers, including you ladies. However, I found this episode to be fairly anecdote heavy. Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of this as I felt it to be quite distracting from learning a little sumthin-sumthin about Easter Rising. Other than that, I really do enjoy y'all's hard work! Thank you.
