This was one of the most brutal punishments in history — and it was used on Irish people who dared to resist British rule. Irish rebels were dragged through the streets… hanged but kept alive… their bodies cut open while they were still breathing… and finally quartered, their limbs displayed around towns as a warning. These weren’t monsters or criminals. Many were farmers. Teachers. Ordinary Irish men who wanted freedom for their homeland. These executions were designed to break the Irish spirit

“I am oppressed as a woman, and I’m also oppressed as an Irish person. Everyone in this country is oppressed and yet we can only end our oppression as women if we end the oppression of our nation as a whole. But, I don’t think that alone is enough. This isn’t the first time that women have been seen as secondary, but women today have been through so much that they won’t just let things be. I hope I’m still alive when the British are driven out. Then the struggle begins anew.” Mairéad Farrell. |
