- On the 14th of December 1940, five hundred Irish citizens interned without trial rioted in their prison camp, burning a large part of it to the ground. The Irish government crushed the insurrection without mercy. It was the last battle of the Irish Civil War. In the summer of 1940, a hastily built internment camp on the Curragh of Kildare (better known for horse-racing) opened its gates to receive the first of over a thousand Irishmen. For the next six years, they were held here without trial, suppressed and completely isolated from society. 'Tintown' is the story of the last bizarre battle of a civil war as the Irish Republican Army was crushed by their former comrades and destroyed by internal conflict. It is a poignant account of Ireland's forgotten gulag, told by its former inmates and their guards. Their story is illustrated with colour film from the period and confidential documents from the Military archives. The Southern Irish government rounded up the IRA because they were a threat to neutrality by their efforts to collaborate with the Nazis and destabilize the Free State. An ill-thought out attempt to escape by setting fire to the camp backfired when their network of escape tunnels was discovered. When a second attempt to tunnel out failed, and a 50 day hunger strike left the Government unmoved, morale was broken. Hundreds left the IRA and by the time the camp closed in 1946, there was no IRA. In an adjoining camp, the Allied and German internees lived the life of Reilly, allowed to leave the camp on parole to attend dances, spend the pay forwarded from Berlin and London on drink and women. They had free passes to attend the races at the Curragh, and enjoyed life so much that when the day of release came, some tried to hide to avoid going home. The Irish government was satisfied that they had won. The Minister for Justice, Gerald Boland said: The IRA is dead and I killed it.

- Perhaps the key event of Irish history in the last thousand years was the arrival a small group of cousins on the Wexford coast in 1169. Of mixed Norman and Welsh blood, their followers predominantly Welsh and Flemish, they hurled themselves into the mêlée of contemporary Irish politics, at the invitation of the Irish themselves, and ended up almost conquering the whole country. If they had been sunk by a storm, or wiped out on landing, Irish history could have been very different. It they had succeeded in capturing the whole country, could this could have led to a happier outcome, with a strong Norman/Irish state along the lines of the English kingdom? For the King of England was also Duke of Normandy, and a vassal of the French king. Could Strongbow have become King of Ireland and still be Earl of Pembroke? Irish people still debate fervently the "800 years of oppression". In few other countries will we find events from so long ago linked with contemporary politics. Let's have a look at the real story, what really happened. Its a very exciting adventure story, involving Irish, Norman and Viking Kings, adultery, burning monasteries, looted towns, Vikings fleets, Norman knights, Irish axe-men, acts of courage and generosity, acts of vengeance and horror, blinding of hostages, raped abbesses. Troubadours sang songs about this great adventure all around the world of Western Christendom.
