The Hanging of Kearneys | A Miscarriage of Justice? | Dublin in 1816 | Ireland


In the early 1800s the peace of Glenasmole Valley was forever broken by the disappearance of a despised land steward who worked on a nearby estate belonging to the powerful Shaw family. One evening John Kinlan walked out into the darkness a mountain laneway and seemingly vanished from the face of the earth. His disappearance led to the arrest of Peter Kearney and his four sons. The body of Kinlan would never be found but despite this the authorities and local landlords contrived to exact a terrible revenge on a rebellious mountain family that would see their lives extinguished by the hangman's rope on the bank of The River Dodder.


This is the story of the hanging of the Kearneys of Piperstown, a family who rebelled with the United Irishmen and gave sanctuary to Robert Emmet, the powerful land owning families who sought to make an brutal example of them and a hated magistrate and landlord who himself was destined to meet a brutal end.
