Seán T. O’Kelly brought political savvy and international flair as head of a newly-fledged nation trying to figure out its place in the world.
It was during O’Kelly’s terms in office that the Áras became the party-spot for high-flying night-owls.
xBut behind the scenes, his two terms were not without their controversies. How did this diplomat manage to massively annoy both the Pope and Joseph Stalin in one fell swoop? And did this presidency mark the start of Ireland’s great grá for US presidents?
In this second episode of Think You Know...The Presidents, our dynamic duo Flor Mac Carthy and Lise Hand present a twist on the life and times of Seán T.O'Kelly with the help of historian Liz Gillis.
