I read his biography just now,and then came to this interview.I think Bulmer is very gentle.

Where can I find the full interview?

Is there anywhere a full list of the members of the IRB, particularly the Belfast branch? Do we know the names of the IRB members that held Bulmer Hobson captive on Good Friday in 1916? PBOShiel

And did any of you reall speak Irish to each other... or was it just a holy symbol by which the masses could be stirred to a prieshteen's baton! Why isn't this interview in Irish, even the gammy Irish we have become so accustomed to 100 years later...
