ROSG this week released the official trailer for new docu-drama 'Murdair Mhám Trasna' (The Mám Trasna Murders'. 'Murdair Mhám Trasna' is a feature length docu-drama centered on an infamous event in Irish history, the brutal slaying in 1882 of a family of five in the remote village of Mám Trasna in the west of Ireland. A swift and severe response from the British authorities to this Victorian era act of ‘terrorism’ led to the conviction of innocent people, the hanging of some and the imprisonment of others as a result of perjured evidence and bribery. The events were described by the prominent British historian Robert Kee as “one of the most blatant miscarriages of justice in British legal history”. As the miscarriage of justice began to unfold and the perjury was admitted in the press, both nationally and internationaly at the time, a refusal by Gladstone’s government to allow a public inquiry, contributed to the fall of that government in Westminster in 1885. The innocent victims have never been pardoned by the authorities but this feature length production moves that prospect significantly closer.

Roinn ROSG réamhbhlaiseadh oifigiúil do fhadscánán faisnéise/ drámaíochta nua 'Murdair Mhám Trasna' an tseachtain seo. Fadscannán faisnéise/drámaíochta is ea é 'Murdair Mhám Trasna' ag díriú ar cheann de na cásanna dúnmharuithe is iomraítí a tharla in Éirinn riamh – dúnmharuithe Mhám Trasna in 1882. Baineann croí an scéil le crochadh éagórach agus príosúnú saoil daoine neamhchiontacha bunaithe ar fhianaise bhréige, ar bhrathadóirí, agus ar mhímhacántacht na n-údarás agus na n-uaisle. Dúirt an staraí aitheanta ón mBreatain Robert Kee go raibh an cás seo ar “one of the most blatant miscarriages of justice in British legal history”. Scaip scéal an uafáis agus na héagóra ar fud na cruinne agus bhí tionchar aige ar thitim rialtas Westminster de chuid an Phríomh-Aire Gladstone sa bhliain 1885. Níl an scéal réitithe fós os rud é nach raibh admháil oifigiúil riamh ann gur tharla an éagóir dhlíthiúil nó iomrall ceartais seo ach tugann an fadscannán seo an cás sin céim eile chun cinn. Lean an nasc seo chun an réamhbhlaiseadh oifigiúil a fheiceáil.
