Brú Ború Cashel – 34th Summer Season Begins.

The 34th Brú Ború Summer Season will commence on Wednesday next, July 10th, and will continue until late August on each Wednesday and Thursday night, starting at 8:30pm.
This much-acclaimed show of Irish traditional entertainment has over the years attracted thousands of fans from all over Ireland and many tourists from abroad.

The show is a creative, fast-moving and innovative mixture of world-class talent from various parts of Ireland.

The originator and producer Úna Ó Murchú, a native of County Clare, says: “The talent now available through the work of Comhaltas at home and abroad provides a rich reservoir from which to select the Brú Ború team. The show has evolved through vision and experience over the years and the performers are a credit to Ireland”.

These include ace-accordionist Bobby Gardiner, latter who taught a Clare set to King Charles and Queen Camilla when they both visited Brú Ború as Prince and Princess.

Harpist Mary Kelly played for the Queen of England when she visited the Rock of Cashel and also in Leinster House for the 100th anniversary of Seanad Éireann.

Tadhg Maher is a well-known traditional singer who has performed worldwide. He is remembered for his farewell ballad at the burial of Vol. Paddy Maher, one of the “Forgotten Ten”, when his remains were brought back from Mountjoy Jail to his native place of Ballylanders.

The music ensemble is a fine blend of veteran and young performers where harp, uilleann pipes, fiddles, accordion, melodeon, mouthorgan, bodhráns, concertinas and flutes – in the hands of the maestros – combine to produce the unique Brú Ború sound.

The dancers, with their exciting routines, have won the hearts of all who experienced their performance at different locations.

The Brú Ború performing group have, during their 34 year history, brought the cultural traditions of Ireland to many parts of the world.
They represented Ireland at five World Expos, performed on the Great Wall of China and accompanied President Mary McAleese to perform for the Sultan of Oman.
When they performed on the Late Late Show Gay Byrne described them as ‘the best in the business’.

There are special rates for groups and pre-show dinner can also be booked in advance. Contact Tel.No. 062 61122 or info@bruboru.ie.

Pardoned Harry Gleeson Re-Interred In Holycross, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.

“Can Honour’s voice provoke the silent dust…”
Extract from poem ‘Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard’, by Thomas Gray.

The earthly remains of an innocent man, executed by hanging in Mountjoy jail; same body having been located within the prison grounds, were handed over to his family last week.
Yesterday, Sunday July 7th, 2024 same remains were re-interred, with his parents in the family plot, following Requiem Mass in Holycross Abbey, Thurles, attended by hundreds of people, some who travelled from other countries, to be in attendance.

Farm worker Mr Harry Gleeson, then aged 38 years, was executed on April 23rd 1941, despite his denial of the killing of a neighbour known as Ms Moll McCarthy of New-Inn, Co Tipperary.

In November, 1940, the executed Mr Gleeson had found the body of this single mother of seven children in a field owned by his uncle Mr John Caesar, while the former was out tending sheep.
The victim had been shot twice in the head and rather than being thanked for alerting local authorities to his gruesome discovery of Ms McCarthy’s body, Mr Gleeson soon found himself charged with her murder.
Following his trial and eventual conviction, the manner of execution was proscribed by the then sentencing Judge, Mr Justice Martin Maguire, that he be ‘hanged by the neck until he be dead.’
Alas, Mr Gleeson’s pardon came 83 years after his execution; granted by the current President of Ireland, Mr Michael D. Higgins, on the initial recommendation of former Minister for Justice, Mr Alan Shatter.

Having studied the original trial transcripts and noting that back in 1941 the judge, Mr Martin Maguire, had asked for a gun register to be shown during the trial. Same register although available, had never been produced by the prosecution.

Yet another issue was the temperature of Ms McCarthy’s body, when it had been first located. The post-mortem report from 1940 indicated that Moll had been murdered at a time when Mr Gleeson actually had an alibi.

Ten years ago in 2014, a retired nurse Ms Ann Martin Walsh, who had cared for Ms Moll McCarthy’s eldest daughter, Ms Mary McCarthy, as the latter was nearing her death, confirmed that her patient had clearly declared that ‘I saw my own mother shot on the kitchen floor and an innocent man died’.

Mr Harry Gleeson denied ever being one of Ms Moll McCarthy’s many known lovers or of fathering one of her seven children, which, it was stated could have jeopardised an inheritance of land, due from an uncle John Caesar.

Today, the murdered body of Ms Moll McCarthy lies in an unmarked grave in a now disused cemetery in New-Inn, Cahir, Co. Tipperary.

In 2015, following a full review of the trial and the evidence provided, members of the Gleeson family attended a special ceremony at the Department of Justice, where a certificate of official pardon was finally presented.
