Northern Ireland’s Centenary

This is a chance to look back 100 years at the events leading up to 2021 – Northern Ireland’s centenary year – rebellions, emancipation, the Great famine, Nationalist aspirations and Unionist fears. The course examines the contributions made by the likes of Parnell, Carson and others, some known and some not so well known, and study the positives and negatives surrounding the partition of Ireland. We will take time to consider whether or not circumstances could have been different and, might Ireland have been shaped in some other way. Come along and contribute to this debate – for you may have the answer.
