A Rebel and a Traitor
2026-03-23 18:00 - 19:00 | LexIcon Library and Cultural Centre, Queen's Road, Dublin, Dublin, IE
Join us for an evening with author and journalist Rory Carroll in conversation about his new book, A Rebel and a Traitor

From the master storyteller behind the critically acclaimed Killing Thatcher comes an extraordinary and gripping new story of a rogue consul who sought to forge a new nation in the middle of a war. In A Rebel and a Traitor (HarperCollins), author and journalist Rory Carroll shines a brilliant light on the story of decorated diplomat Sir Roger Casement who turned his back on the British empire and instead joined the rising Irish cause at the turn of the 20th century. At the book’s centre is the manhunt for Casement led by intelligence officer Reginald ‘Blinker’ Hall, the legendary British spy chief who pioneered codebreaking, early mass surveillance and media manipulation. Drawing thoroughly from numerous and diverse records, Carroll brings us a page-turning story, from a pivotal moment in Anglo-Irish history, that raises profound questions about honour, courage and the price of patriotism. Join us for a captivating evening of conversation, where Rory delves into his new book with journalist and author Ronan McGreevy.

Rory Carroll, currently the Guardian’s Ireland correspondent, has spent most of his career as a foreign correspondent based in Rome, Johannesburg, Baghdad, Caracas and Los Angeles. His first book, Comandante: Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, was published in 2013. Since returning to his native Dublin in 2018 he has covered Ireland’s tangled relationship with Britain and the legacy of Northern Ireland’s Troubles – a fascination with history and narrative non-fiction that led to Killing Thatcher and now A Rebel and a Traitor.

Ronan McGreevy is an Irish Times journalist and the author of several books including Wherever the Firing Line Extends: Ireland and the Western Front and Great Hatred: The Assassination of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson MP. He recently appeared as a guest on The Rest is History podcast. He is a First World War tour guide with GTI Travel and was made a Chevalier de arts et lettres by the French government in 2018.

Join us as we visit some of the most beautiful and interesting places in Dublin City and uncover some of its Queer History!

The Secret History of Gay Dublin Tour is all about seeing the city in a new light.
Some of the most central figures in Dublin’s political and cultural history were gay: some were heroes, others were villains. This tour is about their stories and the story of a rebellious and scandalous city.
This tour is inclusive and for everyone.
Same sex desire has always been a part of our history and for many years its been deliberately ignored. This tour aims to show you some of the most beautiful and interesting places in the city and uncover their secret queer history.
Gay people, as artists, activists, politicians and revolutionaries have played crucial roles in shaping Ireland’s history for better and worse.
The tour starts at the Oscar Wilde statue at Merrion Square and ends at Dublin Castle. Your guide will take you through various chapters of the gay movement in Dublin discussing the fight for equal rights and equality.
The Secret History of Gay Dublin is open to everyone and everyone is encouraged to come along!

Meet up: Oscar Wilde Memorial

Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls of Dublin | Walking Tour
2026-03-27 18:00 - 20:00 | WB Yeats House, 81 Merrion Square Street, 2 Dublin, Dublin, 2, Ireland
Experience Dublin’s mysterious legends and myths on this 90 minute walking tour.

Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls!

Ireland has a unique relationship with its legendary past. Kept alive in the histories of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s gods were not destroyed but – in the words of Mark Williams – demoted to lesser beings. This is an important element of Ireland’s oral histories, which in turn have coloured its popular histories and left many legends for us to parse over today.
On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The seances and unwrapping parties, the mysteries and the macabre, all combining into the secret esoteric orders that strove to unlock the secrets of existence.
Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings…
Our tour has over 100 excellent reviews online and is ranked in the top tours on Trip Advisor.
