E91 The Fifth Court -Arthur Mathews, author, Walled In By Hate: Kevin O’Higgins, (Minister for Justice, 1922-1927)


Episode 91, The Fifth Court


A slightly longer than usual edition of Ireland's favourite podcast as our hosts delve into the light and shade of Arthur Mathews new book, 'Walled In By Hate: Kevin O’Higgins, His Friends and Enemies'.


Arthur is well known as co-creator of Father Ted so naturally the talk starts with a chat about the modern sitcom masterpiece, and everybody's favourite Fr. Ted moments.


However, more sombrely, the talk then turns to the subject matter of Arthur's latest book, former Minister for Justice, Kevin O'Higgins, who on July 1927, at just thirty-five years old, was assassinated on his way to Mass in Booterstown, Co. Dublin. A reviled figure for anti-Treaty republicans, O’Higgins became the target of particular venom for his vocal support of the Free State government’s execution policy during the Civil War, which saw seventy-seven IRA men executed, including the best man at his wedding, Rory O’Connor.

If you like this episode please make sure to pass it on to others, and of course, leave a five star review.
