Ireland's undiscovered past: the 1800s
The National Archives, 2pm
The history of 19th century Ireland was
dominated by big events, big men and big
problems. The Act of Union of 1800, the Great
Famine, and the campaign for land rights and
Home Rule are among the most prominent
events that shaped the country, whilst
Robert Emmet, Daniel O'Connell and Charles
Stewart Parnell all loom large over popular
understanding of the century
