To what extent did the military tactics of Thomas Ashe's (5th) Fingal battalion of the Irish Volunteers in 1916 prefigure those of the IRA in the War of Independence, 1919-21?

To discuss the role of Fingal (North County Dublin) in the revolutionary decade join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with John Dorney, Marie Bashford Synnott, and Frank Whearity.

Fingal County Council is seeking more detailed input from the people of Balbriggan on the town’s public realm  – its streets, squares and parks  – and how these spaces can work together to deliver high quality public space for locals.
