Seo scéal faoi fhear as Cill Mhantáin a saolaíodh i gcúlra gustalach an naoú haois déag agus ar éirigh leis a bheith ar dhuine de na polaiteoirí ba mhó tionchar i stair na hÉireann agus na Breataine.
Throid sé chun cearta tionóntaí ar úinéireachta a gcuid talún féin a chinntiú agus chun Rialtas Dúchais a bhaint amach d’Éirinn. Bhí ardmheas ag muintir na hÉireann air.

However, his love for the wife of another man led to his downfall, but his impact on Ireland will never be forgotten.
