The formation of the Grainne Mhaol (called afterGrace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen of Mayo) branch of the Gaelic League of Lower Achill and the founding of Scoil Acla, Emily Weddall had found her calling in life, but there was more to come. Little did she or comrades know that in the years that followed that the Gaelic League and other organisations would become highly politicised and that she and her friends would get swept up in that whirlwind.
This blog tells of that and the other events of of Emily Weddall’s extraordinary life.
