Abstract :
Here we have a very brief background to the 1858 trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. That Ireland was a part of this technological upheaval and that there was a significant contribution by its people to this pivotal endeavour in international communications has for many years been obscured by isolationist politics. Does the recent issue of a commemorative stamp suggest a belated recognition of this omission?
