On Friday the 6th of Jan 2012, in the Bru Ború Theatre in Cashel, I launched a Commemoration DVD for the Third Tipperary Old IRA. “Where Tipperary Leads Ireland Follows” relates the activities of the people who were in the frontline during the period of the War of Independence.  I was honoured to be asked to launch this DVD. This marks an important period in Irish history, one that still holds a fascination for many people. This DVD deals specifically with the Tipperary personalities that were involved in the conflict. It is widely recognised that the events in Tipperary such as the Soloheadbeg raid, effectively started the War of Independence. As such Tipperary played a pivotal role in the forming of our not just our nation’s history but our county’s history.  This DVD is a fascinating glimpse into the action in the County, the hardships endured by the local people and the patriotism of the people involved in such a conflict.
