  • The Cork Harbour Soviet 1921 with Ryan Kenneally
    Sep 12 2025

    In this episode I chat to Ryan Kenneally, a former student of Gaelcholáiste Carraig Uí Leighin who completed his Leaving Cert in 2025. Leaving Cert History students are required to complete a Research Study Report (RSR). Ryan decided to do his project on the Cork Harbour Soviet in 1921, inspired by his family connection to the event.
