Hidden Histories: Oswald Swanzy

A century ago this weekend, events took place in Ireland which sound like the stuff of a hollywood movie. A man was tracked down across the country, shot using a gun belonging to a man he himself had allegedly overseen the killing of just a few months earlier. The whole affair would prompt sectarian riots and became a serious turning point in the turbulent tribal history of Ireland. The man’s name was District Inspector Oswald Swanzy. To discuss further, Donal Fallon joins Gavan for another episode of Hidden Histories.
