Hidden Histories: Wolfe Tone & The White House

Everything this week has revolved around the visit of an American President to Ireland. There were plenty of nods to history within it all, including a reference to Benjamin Franklin, but what you may have missed in Ballina concerned Wolfe Tone. One historical artifact shown to Joe Biden came from the tragic end of Theobald Wolfe Tone but to one U.S. Democrat interviewed in the 1980s, Tone was a personal hero. Donal Fallon joins Mandy Johnston for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.
