One of Ireland's greatest heroes and statesmen who has streets and monuments named after him all over the country is now almost a forgotten man! Daniel O'Connell was a powerful figure in the 19th century who did not believe in the use of force but who put the fear of God into his opponents at that time. This caricature gives some sense of his power and the belief that people had in him!

It's a powerful image. He deserves a decent movie or TV series made about him, although I know it's far less glamorous than shooting people with guns. Keep up the great work, guys! It's nice to know you're all still hard at it despite the mayhem all around us. Stay safe and well!

The notion behind the statement "Foul deeds will rise though all the earth will overwhelm them" is that even though they are buried deep, the truth will emerge, and people will know of the dark deed. Elizabethans would have believed that the ghost is a sign of wrongdoing, and that it rises because justice needs to be served so that the spirit can rest. The above text is from notes on the play author unknown to me so hope not infringing any copyrights. From Hamlet on hearing the ghost of his father has been seen.
