The forty-five minute audio documentary, researched and written by Dr Ian Kenneally and produced by Midlands 103, looks at four stories from Westmeath and the midlands during the Irish Civil War: an ambush in Glasson in August 1922; the shooting of Patrick Mulrennan in October 1922; the civil war diaries of Alice Ginnell; and the state-sanctioned executions that took place in Athlone’s Custume Barracks on 20 January 1923. It also contains a never-before broadcast interview related to those executions. The documentary can be found here on Spotify.

Apart from the documentary, podcast episodes covering topics such as Laurence Ginnell, Eileen McGrane, Charles Howard Bury, Alice Ginnell and the Athlone/south Roscommon area during the Irish Revolution can also be found on Spotify at anchor.fm/wcchistorian.
