ERIN GO BRAGH III

About the Book

In 2016, the anniversary of the “1916 Easter Rising” will be celebrated by the Republic and Irish Nationalists. But in the North of Ireland, half of the population are Loyalists to the United Kingdom, of which they are still a part. They will not celebrate the Rising, rather they will commemorate the Battle of the Somme and the sacrifices of the 36th Ulster Division. To say there will be tensions in the North of Ireland will be an understatement. In this third book of the trilogy, Erin go bragh, The End of an Era, 1995 – 2002, Rudy Castle returns with students to the North to study the Troubles and renew contracts. His oldest daughter is now working in the North of Ireland, and Castle must help her with a major dilemma, and bring her home with a former Loyalist husband to be.
