Irish Destiny

Irish Destiny

"Irish Destiny" is a 1926 film made in Ireland, directed by Isaac Eppel.

It is set during the Irish War of Independence, featuring several actual participants in cameo roles, and features several fascinating shots of Dublin, including the GPO which was still burnt out after the Easter Rising only ten years previously.

The film actually disappeared for many years, and even distant memories of the film were only confirmed in the 1980s with the discovery of two posters under the floorboards of a house in Dublin. A single surviving print was eventually located in the US Library of Congress and was painstakingly copied in London. A film score was composed by Michael O'Suilleabhain and after a few performances in cinema, the film was ultimately released on DVD.
