The Grandfather – Poppa

The story of the Newman family is one of movement, ambition, and quiet influence across some of the most important Irish and British institutions of the 20th century. From the building of Catholic schools in Ulster to the reconstruction of the Four Courts, from the early days of Aer Lingus to the birth of Irish television, and from the Irish Defence Forces to the private banks of London, the Newman’s left their mark in ways that were rarely recorded but deeply felt.
