Over 12,000 Irish women joined the Blueshirts in 1930s Ireland, including many in #Kerry. Mná na Léinte Gorma uncovers their hidden story-of power, protest, and politics-in a time of turmoil. Their choices shaped a nation-and echo loudly in today’s divided world. I was pleased to contribute to this important documentary from Bo Media which was broadcast by TG4 this week and which you can now watch back on the TG4 Player:

I also wrote about the Blueshirts and the Blueblouses in Kerry in an article for the Journal of the Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society in 2022, which you can access here:
