Decade of Commemorations 1912-1922
Maynooth University is marking the key events in the revolutionary period that helped to shape the course of history and the development of an independent Ireland. This commemoration will take the form of exhibitions, readings, conferences, seminars, performances and gatherings that reflect on key moments, figures and themes from one hundred years ago.
Maynooth University has adopted the theme of ‘Women and the Decade of Commemorations’ as a key focus for 2016 and a number of events have been organised reflecting not only on the contribution of women to the revolutionary period in Ireland’s history, but also on the issues that women in an Irish context continue to face. Some of these events have been made possible by the Department of Foreign Affairs Peace and Reconciliation Fund, facilitating an all-island approach to commemoration.
The events have been organised through the Decade of Commemorations Committee and supported by generous funding from Maynooth University.
