The Civil War: Remembering Wrong on Both Sides – February 20th, 2023

On March 6th, 1923 five Free State soldiers lost their lives after being lured to the site of a land-mine in Knocknagoshel.

On Saturday, March 4^th, the Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society will commemorate those who were killed in both massacres. Outgoing president of the society and former Fine Gael minister Jimmy Deenihan speaks to Jerry.
