I bPeiri\u00fa<\/span> a rugadh<\/span> an t-\u00fa<\/span>dar<\/span> seo <\/span>sa bhliain 1936. T\u00e1 c\u00e1il idirn\u00e1isi\u00fanta bainte amach aige mar \u00farsc\u00e9ala\u00ed<\/span>, agus<\/span> bronnadh Duais Nobel <\/span>sa Litr\u00ed<\/span>ocht air<\/span>,<\/span> sa bhliain 2010. Deirtear<\/span> ar chl\u00fadach c\u00fa<\/span>il an leabhair<\/span> seo<\/span>….<\/span><\/p>

\u201cCasement was feted as one of the greatest humanitarians of the age. <\/em><\/span>Now he is about to die ignomini<\/em><\/span>ously as a tr<\/em><\/span>aitor.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Is d\u00f3cha go bhf\u00e9adf\u00e1 a r\u00e1, gur ar na tairn\u00ed<\/span> sin a chrochann Mario Vagras Llosa<\/span> bun\u00fas an \u00farsc\u00e9il seo faoi Ruaidhr\u00ed<\/span> Mhac Easmainn.<\/span> <\/span>Ba \u00ed E<\/span>dith Grossman a<\/span> d\u2019aistrigh an leabhar seo go B\u00e9<\/span>arla.<\/span><\/p>

Tosa\u00edonn an sc\u00e9al agus Casement ina phr\u00edos\u00fa<\/span>nach<\/span> i bPr\u00edos\u00fa<\/span>n <\/span>Phentonville<\/span>,<\/span> i Samhradh na bliana 1916<\/span>, agus \u00e9<\/span> ag fanacht ar a choin<\/span>ne leis an gcrochad\u00f3ir, n\u00f3<\/span> bh\u00ed s\u00e9 daortha chun a chrochta<\/span> agus b\u00ed<\/span>odh go raibh<\/span> s\u00e9 ag fanacht ar fhreagra na n-\u00fadar\u00e1s ar a<\/span> iarratas ar thr\u00f3caire, tuigeadh<\/span> d\u00e1 l\u00e1n nach bhfaigheadh s\u00e9,<\/span> i ndeireadh na preibe<\/span>,<\/span> ach an t-eitea<\/span>chas. <\/span><\/p>

Cuireann na t-\u00fadar s\u00edos <\/span>i dtosach <\/span>ar \u00f3ige Roger<\/span>,<\/span> agus mar a d\u2019fh\u00e1s s\u00e9<\/span> suas<\/span> sa t\u00edr seo. Agus b\u00ed<\/span>odh g<\/span>ur rugadh i mBaile Atha Cliath \u00e9<\/span>, <\/span>r\u00f3<\/span>mha<\/span>ir s\u00e9<\/span> leis an gcois eile,<\/span> n\u00f3 f\u00e9ach mar a chuireann an t-\u00fadar \u00e9<\/span>…<\/span><\/p>

\u201c…he took for granted what his father, Captain Roger C<\/em><\/span>a<\/em><\/span>sement, who had served…in India, had inculcated in him: his true birthplace was County Antrim in the heart of Ulster, the <\/em><\/span>Protestant and pro-British Ireland where the Casement line had been <\/em><\/span>established since the eighteenth<\/em><\/span> century.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Fuair an t-a<\/span>thair<\/span> sin<\/span> b\u00e1<\/span>s den eitinn sa bhliain 1876<\/span>, agus \u00f3 tharla go raibh an mh\u00e1thair b\u00e1saithe cheana f\u00e9<\/span>in<\/span>, f\u00e1gadh Roger \u00f3<\/span>g ina dh\u00ed<\/span>lleachta<\/span>, agus gan \u00e9 ach dh\u00e1 bhliain d\u00e9<\/span>ag d\u2019aois.<\/span> D\u2019f<\/span>h\u00e1s agus d\u2019fhorbair s\u00e9,<\/span> agus <\/span>ar ball<\/span>, chaith s\u00e9 seal ag d\u00e9<\/span>anamh taighde ar iom<\/span>par na nEorpach sa Chongo, go h\u00e1irithe dh\u00edrigh s\u00e9<\/span> a aire ar iompar Leopold na Beilge, agus an chaoi ar bhain <\/span>seisean agus Eorpaigh eile,<\/span> sochar as allas a<\/span>gus as feoil na nd\u00fachas<\/span>ach<\/span> sa t\u00edr sin<\/span>.
