Was Wolfe Tone’s real father the Chief Justice of Ireland – the man who tried to save him twice?

Was his trial illegal – and had he a real chance of reprieve?

If he lived for eight days after his ‘suicide’ attempt, why was no-one allowed to visit him?

Were his last letters and statements forgeries and lies?
