Belfast’s Molly McNeill: Her Life and Times, 1897 to 1984
Belfast social reformer Mary Ann McCracken has, in recent years, risen in popular consciousness ─ thanks in large part to the initiative of Belfast City Council in raising a statue in her honour and to the Mary Ann McCracken Foundation. However, McCracken would probably be relegated to a footnote in the history of Belfast and the United Irish Movement were it not for her biographer, Mary A. McNeill. Ruth Taillon has recently completed a biography of Molly McNeill. She will talk about Molly McNeill’s life and work and her many important contributions to the social, political and cultural life of this island. Cost: £5/£6 Book: https://visitbelfast.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/873685700 Enquiries: 028 9099 7022 / info@cliftonbelfast.org.uk Organised by Clifton House MOLLY MCNEILL BHÉAL FEIRSTE: A SAOL, 1897–1984 TEACH CLIFTON, 2 SRÁID NA BANRÍONA THUAIDH Tá ardú i dtuiscint an phobail ar an leasaitheoir shóisialach Fheirsteach, Mary Ann McCracken, le blianta déanacha anuas mar gheall ar thionscnaíocht Chomhairle Cathrach Bhéal Feirste go príomha dealbh a chur in airde ina honóir agus in onóir Fhondúireacht Mary Ann McCracken.

“Birth of Irish republicanism” The United Irishmen Tour
The story of the United Irishmen Rebellion told through this tour is also the story of how radical republicanism grew in Belfast. Led in the North by Henry Joy McCracken, Jemmy Hope and General Henry Munro, they sought to establish a Republic in Ireland. While the native Irish Catholics suffered the brunt of British repression, the Presbyterians, although marginally better off, also suffered exclusion and marginalisation. The growing disaffection in Ireland was influenced by the French and American Revolutions. Belfast was the crucible of a rebellion that was stirred and ignited by the revolutionary ideals of the era and turned into popular agitation and then armed insurrection. The rebellion was plotted and carried out by the Society of United Irishmen, founded in October 1791, which was forced into armed revolt by the unsuccessful peaceful and democratic pleas for reform. The uprising cost the lives of over fifty thousand people including most of the prominent leaders, but created a legacy of Republican ideology that would inspire future generations. This tour lasts 2 hours walking. This tour will visit the locations, monuments and meeting places associated with this turbulent period in Irish History. Locations include High Street Belfast, and Clifton Cemetery, and Kelly’s Cellar Pub built 1720. The starting point of the walking tour is the entrance of Castle Court on Berry Street. The tour ends in the city centre.

When the Boys Came Out to Play a Novel by John Mackel.
Set in Belfast and beyond, during the early 1970’s, ‘When the Boys Came Out to Play’ follows twelve-year-old Geordie McDonald as his family is driven from home and his childhood tilts between fear, humour, cultural awakening and the meaning of loyalty.

Drawn from his own childhood experiences and stories from other ‘Refugees’ of the time, John Mackel provides an insight into the mind and soul of a young West Belfast boy trying to make sense of his life and identity in a time of turmoil and trauma.

Belfast: Diarmuid & Séamus Ó Tuama, A Family’s Story of a Community’s Struggle
When Séamus Ó Tuama inherited his late father Diarmuid’s unfinished manuscript following his untimely death in January 2023 – a history of the nationalist experience in Belfast – he resolved to complete it in his father’s memory, weaving together historical narrative with the story of his own family. Béal Feirste: Belfast transforms the city’s turbulent past into a multi-generational account. The work documents the Twomey family’s journey from post-Famine economic conscription in rural Cork through the Irish Revolution, Pogroms, Partition, Civil War, the Troubles and Belfast’s cultural renaissance as a modern, vibrant urban Gaeltacht. Free event. No booking required.

Fíonn sé an stair seo le stair a theaghlaigh féin. Tugann Béal Feirste: Belfast cuntas ó ghlúin go glúin ar stair chasta na cathrach.

And Flowers Grew Up Through the Concrete
On 3 October 1981, after 217 days and ten deaths, the hunger strike in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh ended. What happened next? Laurence McKeown, who was on the hunger strike, will be joined in conversation by Deaglán Ó Mocháin (another former republican prisoner) to discuss how the prisoners radically changed their approach to prison struggle from the early 1980s onwards. The change in strategy and tactics did not come without its challenges and much soul-searching, but it led to many successes in subsequent years and the eventual realisation of conditions that more accurately reflected the political nature of IRA imprisonment.

This policy sought to strip prisoners of political recognition by forcing them to wear prison uniforms, carry out prison labour, and submit to criminal status. When sentenced on 14th September 1976, Kieran Nugent refused to wear the prison uniform, declaring: “If they want me to wear a uniform, they will have to nail it to my back.” His stand marked the beginning of the Blanket Protest and symbolised resistance to the British Government’s criminalisation policy outlined in the Gardiner Report. Seán Murray, Sile Darragh and Kieran McEvoy will discuss its genesis and consequences 50 years on. Free event. No booking required.

D’fhógair sé go gcaithfí leis na cimí polaitiúla a ngearrfaí pianbhreith orthu mar choirpigh ina dhiaidh sin faoi réimeas príosúin nua. Bhí an polasaí ag iarraidh aitheantas polaitiúil a bhaint de na cimí agus ag cur iallaigh orthu éidí príosúin a chaitheamh, obair príosúin a dhéanamh agus géillghlacadh le stádas coiriúil. Nuair a gearradh pianbhreith air ar 14 Meán Fómhair 1976, dhiúltaigh Kieran Nugent an éide príosúin a chaitheamh agus d’fhógair sé: “If they want me to wear a uniform, they will have to nail it to my back.” Chuir a sheasamh tús leis an Agóid Pluide agus bhí sé mar shiombail d’fhrithbheartaíocht in aghaidh polasaí coiriúlaithe Rialtas na Breataine ar tugadh achoimre air i dTuarascáil Gardiner.

His collections include: Welcome To My Head Nothing Makes Sense Who Would Have Thought Held up as a precedent, for all the world to see How little Ulster saved itself, from a life of misery We listen to the sound bites; each day's a brand new start Yet our celebrated peace walls, keep communities apart. Séamas O'Reilly Séamas O'Reilly's bestselling memoir, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died, received widespread acclaim for its moving blend of grief, dark humour and unforgettable family storytelling. His debut novel, Prestige Drama, is set in a Derry captivated by the arrival of Hollywood actor Monica Logue, who comes to star in a Troubles drama titled Dead City. When she mysteriously disappears, suspicion falls on Diarmuid, the struggling screenwriter who was the last person to see her. A witty and sharply observed novel exploring a community simultaneously fascinated by, and fearful of, confronting its past. "Rollicking... caustic, withering and genuinely funny." Independent "Disarmingly hilarious." Sunday Times Wendy Erskine Wendy Erskine is the author of the acclaimed short story collections Sweet Home and Dance Move. Her latest novel, The Benefactors, winner of the Waterstones Irish Book of the Year, explores the aftermath of the sexual assault of teenager Misty, examining trauma, privilege and the responses of both families involved. "A writer of an unrivalled range of imaginative empathy." Financial Times "Erskine's great gift is for character. Not a single figure in this novel feels contrived." The Guardian Anna Carey Anna Carey is the author of seven acclaimed young adult novels. Her RTÉ drama podcast The Famine Monologues aired in 2021, while her play The Making of Mollie premiered in 2024. Her latest novel, Love Scene, has been described as an irresistible modern screwball comedy. It follows Annie McDermott, who lands her dream job writing for a television soap, only to discover that someone is determined to sabotage the production. "Utterly delicious. I couldn't stop reading this." Marian Keyes "With plenty of steam alongside the soap, Love Scene is a novel full of hope and heart." Irish Times

Crossing Over: Book Launch & Interview / Crossing Over: Seoladh Leabhair agus Agallamh Venue: St Mary's University College, Falls Road / Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Bóthar na bhFál English Crossing Over: Book Launch & Interview In 1982, Anne Cadwallader had just transferred from England to the BBC in Belfast and was working the night shift when she received a call from the RUC claiming that three men had been shot dead after they had "broken through a police roadblock." Anne says the account was false and part of the wider shoot-to-kill cover-up. The experience stayed with her for decades and ultimately inspired her 2026 legal and political thriller, Crossing Over. In conversation with Danny Morrison, Anne will discuss her life in journalism, her work on legacy issues, and her previous books, Holy Cross and Lethal Allies. Free event. No booking required. Organised by the Féile an Phobail Debates and Discussions Committee. Gaeilge Crossing Over: Seoladh Leabhair agus Agallamh Sa bhliain 1982, cuireadh Anne Cadwallader ar phost sa BBC i mBéal Feirste ó Shasana agus bhí sí ar dualgas oíche nuair a fuair sí glaoch ón RUC ag maíomh gur scaoileadh triúr fear marbh tar éis dóibh "briseadh trí bhloc bóthair na bpóilíní." Dar le hAnne, ba bhréag é sin agus cuid den fhorcheilt a bhain leis an mbeartas shoot-to-kill. D'fhan an eachtra sin ina cuimhne ar feadh na mblianta agus spreag sí í chun a scéinséir dlíthiúil agus polaitiúil, Crossing Over, a scríobh in 2026. I gcomhrá le Danny Morrison, labhróidh Anne faoina saol mar iriseoir, faoina cuid oibre ar cheisteanna oidhreachta agus faoina leabhair roimhe seo, Holy Cross agus Lethal Allies.
