A talk with authors Ronan McGreevy and Tommy Conlon about new book 'The Kidnapping'

Carrick-on-Shannon Historical Society presents “SEETHING WITH SEDITION? LEITRIM AND THE KIDNAPPING OF DON TIDEY - A TALK WITH RONAN McGREEVY and TOMMY CONLON” which promises to be an in-depth and intriguing look at an infamous event of modern times.

Compère Carole Coleman (Carrick native, journalist, author, broadcaster, and teacher) will lead the discussion into the 23-day harrowing event that culminated in a happy ending for Dublin supermarket executive Don Tidey kidnapped by the Provisional IRA, albeit tragically accompanied by the deaths of an Irish soldier and a trainee Garda in the rescue shootout in Derrada Wood near Ballinamore.
