Kevin Rafter: THE REMARKABLE EMILE DILLON

Hinterland Festival Kells Friday 27 June 2025, 5pm
Venue: The Courthouse - Meath County Council Stage

Emile Joseph Dillon, from the slum streets of Victorian Dublin, witnessed some of the most dramatic events the world has ever seen including, the assassination of a Russian Tsar, the Dreyfus court martial and bloody massacres in Armenia. But Dillon was more than a newspaper journalist – he was a university professor, author of books on theology, and an adviser to statesmen; he reported on wars but also helped broker international peace treaties.

Join Kevin as he discusses the subject of his great book DILLON REDISCOVERED
