Event details

Learn more about Eamon de Valera’s role in the 1916 Irish rebellion. How did he use his status as the senior surviving officer in the Irish Volunteers to escape execution and win power as the unquestioned leader of the Irish revolution of 1916 to 1921? How were the seeds then sown of his emergence as both the greatest and most divisive of Irish politicians? Join Ronan Fanning of University College Dublin to find out.
