Matt Houlihan recounts the role his granduncle Bill Houlihan played on the 10th of April 1923 – Video

From: John Foley Images. A lovely piece of oral history here. Matt Houlihan recounts the role his granduncle Bill Houlihan played on the 10th of April 1923 when Liam Lynch was shot on the Knockmealdown Mountains.

This is just one of a number of interviews I did with people whose ancestors who had a link to Liam Lynch. While the interviews are not part of The Dying Days film about Liam Lynch they do give a very interesting insight to locals who were involved at the time.
