‘The Liberator’ Marking the 250th birthday of Daniel O'Connell. His campaigns for Catholic Emancipation & Repeal in the 19th Century laid the foundation for Ireland’s independence. He took a people off its knees, and convinced them that they were more than slaves.

Daniel O’Connell has proven a great influence internationally where leaders look to bring about emancipation, end injustices and secure civil rights. For some reason his contribution is less lauded in Ireland than others.
