Irish Historians on The Anglo–Irish Treaty of 1921–22

The Anglo–Irish Treaty of 1921–22 provoked one of the most consequential debates on the shape of our country ever to take place, and was the harbinger of civil war. In this discussion, we are joined by have three eminent historians to discuss the Treaty debates, the people who spoke, and the implications of this extraordinary and passionate conversation which preceded the birth of the modern Irish state. They are Diarmaid Ferriter, Professor of Modern Irish History at UCD, and Anne Dolan, Associate Professor in Modern Irish History at TCD, who will be in conversation with Gearóid O’Tuathaigh, Professor Emeritus in History at NUI Galway.
