Walk the same streets he did, learn where he went on a day to day basis, where he was safe, what pubs and safe houses he went through. Learn all about the assassinations he had ordered throughout the city and where they occured, including Bloody Sunday 1920. Hear the stories and experiences those he was friends with, his most trusted aides and companions, and his enemies experienced around him

Travelling from the GPO, Dublin castle, the streets of Dublin, to the four courts and much more! Learn all about one of the most beloved, tragic and villainised Irish figures of all time.
