Michael Byrne – The Tullamore Incident – 20 March 1916: A Prelude to The Easter Rising | The Irish Channel

</p> <h2>Michael Byrne – The Tullamore Incident – 20 March 1916: A Prelude to The Easter Rising</h2> <p> The Tullamore incident is a simple story and yet underneath the surface it shows the varieties of tension and the complexities that existed in the Tullamore community and in every town in Ireland at the time because of divided loyalties to the status quo, the men at the Front and to the independence of Ireland. Apart from that the incident has a significant place in the sequence of events leading to the rising, although views differ on how it was perceived at the time.<br /> Credit to : Offaly History</p> <p>
