Was Independent Ireland A Cold House for Protestants

The Long and the Short of It

Available for over a year

Tim McGarry, a six-foot-four comedian, joins vertically challenged Orangeman and historian Dr David Hume to look at a number of fascinating historical incidents and people in Irish history. The unlikely duo investigates well known historical events from different perspectives, to give the listener the long and the short of it. In this the fifth programme in the series they explore why there was a dramatic decline in the Protestant population after partition in 1922. They meet Dr Daithi O'Carrain of Dublin City University and Gavin Woods at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, author and broadcaster David McCullagh at Leinster House in Dublin and Professor Terence Dooley at St Maeldoid's Church of Ireland at Castleblayney.
