Anne Devlin was a woman long remembered as a loyal housekeeper to an infamous revolutionary, when she was really a courier, conspirator and trusted rebel operative. In this episode, we look at Anne’s role in Robert Emmet’s uprising, the women who helped keep the revolution moving in secret, and the brutal price she paid for refusing to talk.
Written and hosted by Jenny Claffey. Researched by Karl O’Reilly.
