The Scrap: A True Story from the 1916 Easter Rising

For his book 'The Scrap', Gene Kerrigan used first-hand accounts by members of a single rebel unit - F Company, 2nd Battalion - to depict the day-to-day reality of the rebellion. In this talk he will discuss the individuals who rose against the Empire - including the social conservatives, the feminists and the cockneys who fought - and how together, for good and ill, they shaped the new Ireland. Gene Kerrigan is a Dublin journalist who has covered Irish politics for almost four decades. He has published four novels and nine non-fiction books.
