Peter OToole @ The Gaiety Theatre, Dublin 1984 sliotharball 2015-10-11 | In October 1984, when the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin held a gala performance to mark its reopening after refurbishment, Peter O’Toole was invited to do the opening turn. Presumably, the expectation was that he would do a bit of Shakespeare, perhaps, or a Yeats poem. He decided to read, slowly and deliberately, Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, with its suggestion that the children of the Irish poor be sold as food for their landlords, “who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children”.Some members of the dress-suited audience began to heckle; others walked out. RTÉ, which was broadcasting the show live, cut O’Toole off in the middle of the reading and went to an ad break. The Irish Times reported next day that it had received “a number of calls, which were preponderantly critical of O’Toole”.

Roddy McCorley (The Old Version) sliotharball 2014-07-25 | Played by Mr & Mrs Ivan Devlin of Toome,County Antrim at the Joe Mooney Summer School, Drumshanbo, County Leitrim. Roddy McCorley was the son of a miller and was born near Toome in the parish of Duneane, County Antrim. A few years before the 1798 rebellion McCorley's father is believed to have been executed for stealing sheep. These charges may have been politically motivated in an attempt to remove a troublesome agitator at a time of great social unrest. Following his father's execution, his family were evicted from their home.There is uncertainty as to whether McCorley actually joined the predominantly Presbyterian United Irishmen or the predominantly Catholic Defenders.] McCorley's role in the 1798 rebellion itself is unclear. In a poem written 100 years after the rebellion by Ethne Carbery, he is claimed to have been one of the leaders of the United Irishmen at the Battle of Antrim, however there is no documentary evidence to support this claim or prove that he even took part at all.
