Coming next year!!!
The true and complete untold story of the Easter Rising’s very own radio station.
• How transmitter parts were smuggled in from Britain hidden in ladies petticoats.
• How the station is associated with the Oscar winning movie ‘How Green Is My Valley’
• How despite what history books have said to date that it was a spur of the moment decision, we show how the Rebels had planned the station for months in advance and that they brought in specialists at the last moment to operate the station.
• Perhaps the first JNLR figures as we discover and speak to the families of the stations listeners.
• How it smashed Britain’s tough censorship laws.
• How the British targeted the station location with secret instructions to the crew of the Helga revealed for the very first time.
• We can reveal for the first time the entire staff of the station from those who risks their lives to get the station operational to those who broadcast the rebellion propaganda.
• The appointment of Joseph Plunkett as the State’s first Minister for Communications.
• We reveal for the first time how the station is directly associated with the invention of HiFi still a feature of broadcasting today.
• For the first time we have the photographs from inside the station located in the centre of Dublin during the Rising.
