ROGER CASEMENT was a diplomat, humanitarian and Irish nationalist born in Sandycove in 1864. He came from an Ulster Protestant family and led a distinguished career as a British consul in Africa and South America. After retiring from British public service in 1913, his long-held nationalist views came to bear when he helped form the Irish National Volunteers and travelled to the US and Germany to raise support for them. Returning to Ireland to persuade the Easter Rising leaders to abort their plans, he was arrested and tried for treason. He was hanged on 3 August 1916. His remains were returned to Ireland in 1965 and, after a state funeral, reburied in Glasnevin Cemetery.
SEÁN HEWITT is an award-winning poet and writer. His debut novel Open, Heaven was in April 2025. He is assistant professor in literary practice at Trinity College Dublin, and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
