Tipperary Studies to host talk on the Royal Irish Constabulary

The end of the Royal Irish Constabulary and its aftermath in county Tipperary is the title for the November lecture in the Tipperary People and Places Series which takes place in The Source, Thurles on Tuesday, November 19 at 7pm.

The speaker, Dr Brian Hughes of Mary Immaculate College

Amongst other sources, Brian will use oral information gathered from descendants of the former RIC members, he will look at the violence and intimidation some were forced to endure. Some left the country, but many settled into life in the Free State.

All are welcome to this largely ignored aspect of Irish history.
