    I would say you are not trying hard enough. :p

    "1914 gun running" produced pages of stuff. Top one was quite good.

    and don't forget your local library, always worth a visit. Best of luck with it.

    thanks for your reply.i realise there are a number of websites on the topic, but they all seem to only have a short paragraph on it, which don't give in-depth detail. i'm looking for consequences including the bachelors walk incident and maybe a rise in support for the irish cause. any more suggestions?? thanks

    I think a library may help you in all honesty. Go to a big one. If you can get into the ILAC in Dublin, worth a visit- excellent library.
    Also the National Museum - Merrion Square may also have stuff.
    They have some good exhibits on 1916 etc.

    Authors to look out for

    Roy Foster
    and Diarmuid Ferriter - very recent book on 20th century in Ireland

    The only other suggestion is a good bookshop which will cost you money. You might get lucky in a second-hand shop or Chapters but I'd be surprised

    Cool, happy to help. You could always try the ILAC Library as well. At least you can bring books home.
