    The Birth House of Daniel O'Connell

    13. april 2022, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Daniel O'Connell, also known as the 'Liberator' is a historical hero to many Irish. Under the English rule during the early 1900's, the Irish Catholics were not allowed to live their own culture, were forbidden to speak their language and were oppressed. O'Connell's political work changed this and he also advocated for the union of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

    While there is a monument church dedicated to him in a town further along the road, his birthplace is in ruins and there the government is not willing to invest in preserving or rebuilding the place.

    Instead, the villagers took it into their own hands to maintain the property and keep it from crumbling apart even further. But who knows, perhaps it only looks like ruins to muggles like us...
