Hanged for Murder: Irish State Executions

Description
Between 1923 and 1954 the Irish state executed 29 people convicted of murder. The often shocking stories of these men and one woman are largely forgotten. Their remains lie in unmarked graves behind prison walls, as testaments to an abandoned form of punishment. Among those covered are Bernard Kirwan, convicted of killing his brother; Henry McCabe, convicted of killing six people in a house in Malahide; and Annie Walsh, convicted of murdering her husband for money. Most had never been convicted of a crime before, and in some cases doubts still remain about the safety of the convictions. This book tells the tragic stories of all of these people for the first time.
