Donegal County Council Library Service is holding a series of history lectures across the county. The lectures entitled ‘Remembering Our Past Sharing Our Future’ and are based on the theme Ireland & Donegal in the revolutionary era 1912 – 1923.

In his talk he will illustrate how key contentious events in that period were experienced by different communities and how they served as a starting point for the legacies that have contributed to latter-day relationships.
