As part of the centenary of Ireland’s struggle for independence, a State commemoration for members of the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Dublin Metropolitan Police will take place in Dublin Castle on January 17th. Discussing this and the main events that occurred in Kerry during the War of Independence are historian Ryle Dwyer and James Nagle who produces the Irish Nation Lives podcast.
