What is recorded here
Avondale in County Wicklow birthed the man who forced Britain to hear Ireland speak. Parnell turned parliamentary rules into a weapon, holding two great parties hostage until Home Rule became law in principle. His fall came through a bedroom, not a battlefield, yet the chamber he shaped still echoes in every debate about who gets to belong.
