Erskine Childers: New Series: The one they feared the most; the capable, able, principled traitor who betrayed his country, his class, his culture and paid with his life. The programme traces Childers’ extraordinary conversion from staunch British Imperialist growing up in County Wicklow to hard-line Irish Republican executed by the Free State in 1922 for possession of a handgun given to him for his own protection by Michael Collins.

(part of a series of drama documentaries on TG4).
