This talk will look at the different ways the 1913-1923 revolutionary era and the First World War have been remembered and how that remembering has been the source of controversy.

Happening on the last Tuesday of each month, at 8 p.m. in Teach Diarmada, Castledermot. Entry 2 euro/members free. More events will be added to the programme over the course of 2016.
