As part of a series of features to mark the centenary of the 1916 Rising, one of the pivotal political moments in modern Irish history, we look to Brighton itself for a taste of Irish history.
Chairperson of the Brighton Irish organisation, Ty Galvin's great uncle Tadhg Barry was a founder member of Sein Fein with Arthur Griffith in 1907 and was under arms in the 1916 Rising itself. He was also the first secretary of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union Cork branch at its foundation and brought James Connelly to Cork on two occations.
When Connelly was executed after the rising Tadhg Barry took up his mantle and between then and 1921, membership of the union went up from 5000 to over 100,000.
Ty Galvin, now in his 70s and living in Brighton, brings you a glimpse of the Tadhg Barry story.

With only days remaining before Ireland heads to the voting booth in the General Election on Friday February 26th, we have a look at the highlights (or perhaps more aptly put - the lowlights)of the last full week of campaigning.
We talk about the latest opinion polls, protests, a Taoiseach putting both of his feet in it, campaign posters for the Minister with responsibility for Forestry being nailed to trees and two independent candidates releasing what can only be described as "odd" election campaign songs.
