Today’s Irish News article on the tripartite negotiations which began this day 100 years ago in London that left the border in Ireland intact. WT Cosgrave was more interested in saving money for the Free State than helping Northern nationalists. www.irishnews.com/opinion/corm...

Great episode this week of The Irish History Boys with Tim McGarry and I on the shock resignation of Eoin MacNeill from the Irish Boundary Commission which led to its implosion and the border remaining unchanged. youtu.be/iddsRbzxXKo?...

Just got an advance copy of my third book published this year, this one co-written with Alan Tate, on the history of Lemon’s Pure Sweets. It looks stunning with over 200 great images and a story at the heart of Dublin life for decades. Great job by Merrion Press as always.

100 years ago, on 7 November 1925, the Morning Post newspaper published a forecast of the Irish Boundary Commission award. It led its collapse. To find out more about this extraordinary saga, you can pick up a copy of my book The Root of All Evil: The Irish Boundary Commission.

On this week's episode of The Irish History Boys, Tim McGarry and I discuss the collapse of the Irish Boundary Commission after a largely accurate forecast of the Commission's award was published in the Morning Post newspaper on 7 November 1925. youtu.be/lAXxy6KKrrk?...
