On 6 May 1882, at 7.0 in the evening, in Dublin's largest park. there occurred one of the most savage political murders in British history.
The newly appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland, Lord Frederick Cavendish , and the Under-Secretary, Thomas Henry Burke, were stabbed repeatedly by a band of assassins who called themselves the Invincibles. Their act destroyed all hope for Irish Home Rule in Gladstone's time and effectively split his party with Denys Hawthorne as Charles Stewart Parnell and Peter Gilmore as Narrator with the voices of DENIS MCCARTHY , BLAIN FAIRMAN LEWIS STRINGER , JIM NORTON HARRY WEBSTER , JULIE HALLAM
