Presentation: A hundred years of growing- the Irish State that emerged after the Civil War.
Dr Joe MacDonagh will look at the Ireland – first a ‘Free State’ then a ‘Republic’ – that emerged after the 1916 Rising, The War of Independence and then the Civil War. He will look at the impact these events had on his family, with two members of his family having died by the start of the new modern Irish state, before looking at how Ireland developed over the coming 100 years. His family have been involved in many of the changes and reforms that have taken place in those 100 years and in his talk he will show how we have developed as a nation and what way we might do so in the coming one hundred years.
