In Part I of this series on the Maamtrasna murders I looked at one of the most brutal killings in 19th century Ireland when the Joyce family were attacked in their remote home in Maamtrasna on the Mayo-Galway border.This podcast follows looks at the trials. While the police made a major break through within days of the murder a botched attempt at swift justice would see the story of the trials become nearly as famous the murders themselves.www.facebook.com/irishhistorypodcastwww.twitter.com/irishhistoryEmail: history@Irishhistorypodcast.ie For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
