Did you know that a prominent member of the United Irishmen was from Lisburn? Henry Monro (1758-98) was born in the town and worked in its thriving linen industry. Why did Monro join the Society of United Irishmen, and what was his role in the revolutionary movement that planned the 1798 Rebellion? What was life in Lisburn like during this turbulent time? Ken Dawson is a retired teacher who served as Head of History and vice-principal at Down High School, Downpatrick. He is the author of ‘The Belfast Jacobin: Samuel Neilson and the United Irishmen’ (2017).
