Forgiveness from the Gallows: The Astonishing Story of St Oliver Plunkett | Treasure Ireland

Among the strangest of Ireland's visitor attractions is the severed head of a seventeenth-century bishop. It's not the most pleasant sight, but this man's story is truly inspiring.

What a brave man. True courage. When people speak of the greatest Irish people surely Plunketts name should be right up there.

This is so sad. Thank you. Until your sharing I don't recall hearing of St Oliver Plunkett. It is a great pity that despite the blood of the martyrs during Cromwells time the faith in Ireland is not strong.
I greatly enjoy your talks. I have sister in Dundalk😊.

So inspiring, and I was completely unaware of the life of this great saint and martyr. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this story. Always heard about this Saint but never really knew the story. Very inspiring.
