CHARLIE MURPHY, CHAIR OF THE CENTENARIES COMMITTEE As THANKSCathaoirleach of TOCarlow THE County BARRY Council, it isFAMILY my pleasure to support the production of Kevin Barry and the Oral Tradition and accompanying booklet. As a Carlow man I feel it is vitally importantTHANKS to recognise TO the THEpart Kevin CARLOW Barry played in PEOPLE/GROUPthe history of our county and country. Kevin was just 18 years old when he bravely went to his death on that early morning in November 100 years ago. He was a student, a sports player, a friend to many, a brother and a son. He was a native of our small county who made a big impact on our country and continues to inspire and influence debate on that difficult period of Irish history. I wish to acknowledge the work of all those involved in this Decade of Centenaries project delivered in spite of the current demanding circumstances. Their passion, commitment and enthusiasm to acknowledge and assess the cultural influences on that young man growing up in Tombeagh, Rathvilly has bared fruit in this wonderful production showcasing the best of local talent. Cllr. Tom O’Neill, Cathaoirleach of Carlow County Council. As Cathaoirleach of Carlow County Council Centenaries Committee, I have overseen the Decade of Centenaries Programme since the committee was established and it is my pleasure to contribute to this great endeavour as part of the programme for 2020. Over the last number of years Carlow County Council has represented the Decade of Centenaries through thoughtful, respectful and appropriate programmes where the events of that period of Irish and Carlow history have been acknowledged and commemorated in a considered fashion. This year is no different. Kevin Barry and the Oral Tradition complimented by the other notable events and conversations being delivered on behalf of the Committee are a credit to all those involved. In many ways we are entering the most difficult part of the decade and it is important to commemorate our history in a way that inspires both pride but also thoughtful reflection. The culture of the period and the legacy of its influence must be central to any current or future programme of study, remembrance and reflection. Cllr.

It's the most disgraceful country that I have ever seen, They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green . —Anon, 1798 If you ask most people today, they will never have heard of Napper Tandy, unless they are Irish. Then they may, just MAY, remember the words of the ballad quoted above. By way of introduction, some words on the state of Ireland in general and Dublin in particular in the second half of the 18th century, the backdrop against which much of this story is painted, may be of interest. If not, skip forward to Chapter 1. It was in many respects a lawless place, quite literally, for there was no effective police force until well into the 19th century. And yet they were an extremely litigious crowd, those Georgian Irish. They fought with their tongues and their pens with great skill. But equally they fought with their swords and their pistols too.
