The Road to Independence: Howth, Sutton and Baldoyle Play Their Part

by Philip O'Connor

Available in Serenity, McDermott's Pharmacy and the Country Kitchen in Howth, in Supervalue Sutton and Books Upstairs, D'Olier Street, Dublin, or by direct purchase from www.howthfreepress.com. All proceeds go towards the work of the local Commemoration Committee.

The dramatic story of the Independence movement in Howth, Sutton and Baldoyle, from the pre-World War era to local involvement in the Great War that revolutionised Ireland, in the Easter Rising, the Citizen Army, Cumann na mBan and the Irish Volunteers (IRA), and in the great democratic movement for Independence from 1918 to 1922. It also tells the story of the Howth Unionist community, which was as varied in its composition as it was in its reactions to these events, as well as the dramatic impact on the area of the Civil War that followed the 1921 Treaty.

310 pages, with 120 photos, mostly from private collections, and appendices revealing the men and women of the national movement in Howth, Sutton and Baldoyle in 1921.

Eugene McEldowney, of Abbey Street, Howth, well known writer and journalist, called it a ground-breaking book and a remarkable achievement: The author has unearthed a veritable treasure-trove of information, much of it new, and has skilfully aligned it with the wider national narrative to produce a highly readable history that is impossible to leave down … This is no dry academic treatise but a vibrant narrative that often reads like an adventure story. Nor is it confined to those who are interested only in local history. It will resonate with everyone who is interested in the birth of Irish nationhood.
