Ireland & the Slave Trade

I had never heard of this Irish Slavery issue until recently. I wonder if my maternal side of my family even knew of this part of Irish history ? Appears to be a well hidden part of World History.

I've been doing a little research on the subject, and I ran across this lecture on YouTube given by
Genetic Genealogist Dr. Maurice Gleeson of London, United Kingdom. Here is a link to his blog:

I hope this presentation is of interest to some........
