The Irish Revolution was a module taught by renowned historian Professor Michael Laffan in the School of History and Archives, UCD from the mid-1970's until his retirement in 2010. The course covers a tumultuous period in Irish history and examines the interaction of different groups (in particular unionists, moderate and radical nationalists, and the British), the causes and impact of events (such as the Home Rule Crisis, the Easter Rising, and the Treaty), and patterns of continuity and discontinuity in the period spanning the First World War. In association with the UCD College of Arts and Celtic Studies and historyhub.ie all 10 of the lectures were recorded.

Excellent
I listened to this after hearing Tom Holland recommend it on the Rest is History and it’s superb. A set of recordings of a series of lectures rather than a modern style podcast, but extremely engaging and very informative. I learned so much!
Fantastic
Feel lucky to have been put on to this by The Rest is History. Given it’s a lecture series I thought it would be a decent amount of work but it’s just riveting from the first episode. Extraordinarily good, even for someone (like me), somewhat familiar with the history from school days.
