Irish History Podcast · A Conspiracy of Fear & Silence: The Maamtrasna Murders · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Dublin, it is worth saying at this point, it's a completely different world at this you know, and I I think often we think of Dublin as this impoverished city, but at the same time, Dublin by the late nineteenth century has public street lighting. podcast-host

It has a lot of you know, a a big public transport system. podcast-host

And what I'm getting at here is for these men coming into that city, now obviously they're in prison in the city, but it's a completely alien world. podcast-host

And we'll get podcast-host

onto the courthouse and the court proceedings, but they're very much in podcast-host

A place they're not familiar with and I podcast-host

I think I would go as far as to say that Dublin in the eighteen eighties is more similar to London than it is to Mount Drasna. podcast-host

It's the difference is huge. podcast-host

We'll move on to the trial and I I suppose to to set it up maybe, you can imagine at the time these what are horrific murders have taken place in Galway. podcast-host

You've already said that like of the ten who were arrested, there's very good evidence. podcast-host

Most of them probably weren't even there on the night. podcast-host

But the whole case is very problematic. podcast-host

It's not based on podcast-host

strong evidence what we would think of today as like, you know, you know, that could put the person in the in the house on the night in question. podcast-host
