25 April 2017: Dublin City Hall lunchtime lecture: ‘Islandbridge: people, places, pictures’, Dublin City Hall, Dublin 2
On Tuesday 25 April 2017 Dublin City Council presented the fourth and last of its 2017 lunchtime lecture series on the theme of ‘Remembrance & commemoration: the First World War’. The First World War was at that date the most devastating conflict in world history – never before had so many people been slaughtered and so many countries been involved. The commemoration of this tragic event required careful consideration. This series looks at commemoration in Belgium, Germany, Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State, and is designed to complement the Assembly memorial chairs WW1 exhibit.
The last lecture in the series, entitled ‘Islandbridge: people, places, pictures’, was delivered by Patrick Hugh Lynch.
