The bus tour will cover the key sites of what happened near the end of the Irish Civil War. The first part of the tour will visit locations that feature in March 1923 when the anti-treaty IRA executive held a meeting in Bleantis and the Nire. These meetings were attended by Liam Lynch, Tom Barry, Tom Crofts, Sean Dowling, Humphrey Murphy, Sean McSwiney, Frank Aiken, Tom Derrig, Sean Hyde, Austin Stack, Bill Quirke, Eamon de Valera, and Todd Andrews.
The second half of our tour will visit locations that General Liam Lynch travelled through after coming back to the Nire valley on 6th April. Sites include the final house Lynch left on the morning he was killed.
This tour will be around four hours long, we will be on a bus and only a small bit of walking will be required. However, we will be travelling through very remote places and thus it is advisable to bring some light refreshments with you.
Light refreshments will be served on your return to Newcastle.
