Summary

In this episode of 1916 we examine the important other pillar of Irish nationalists; the republican or Fenian elements. Expect a great deal of background info as we detail what the aims of these groups were and what drove them onwards. We will meet key characters and bring the story up to the level with #1 where the republicans and nationalists begin to cooperate for the sake of land reform, but Parnell's death creates an exclamation point which they must adapt to. MUSIC: Anna on flute playing 'Republican' (self-titled tune).Remember history friends, you can help this podcast and ensure that this is where history thrives!

0:40.3	It is a story we touched on a little bit in the last episode without revealing too much information
0:45.4	or forcing you to confront too many figures of the Republican movement, since I was trying to keep
0:50.7	us focused last time on political nationalists like Parnell and the issues he
0:54.9	fought for at Westminster, as well as the insane number of leagues and organisations that his movement
1:00.6	spawned. Hopefully you're still with us after the last episode. It was an important one for demonstrating

1:20.3	keep this lesson in mind as we look at men and organizations in this episode who professed similar goals,
1:26.9	but who went about those goals with
