Was the decade of commemorations successful?

100 years ago today saw the end of the Irish civil war that had divided counties, communities and indeed households across treaty and anti treaty lines. This anniversary will be marked by events up and down the country, many of which are funded by the ‘Decade of Centenaries’ programme.

Dr Mary McAuliffe Director of gender studies UCD and Conor Mulvagh Associate Professor of Modern Irish history in UCD joined Kieran Cuddihy on the show.
