On Tuesday 4 December 2018 a History Ireland ‘Hedge School’ debate was hosted by the National Library of Ireland to tie in with its current exhibition ‘From ballots to bullets: Ireland 1918-1919’. The exhibition covers the turbulent years of 1918 and 1919, a period that witnessed the end of the First World War, the suffragette movement, the global flu pandemic, the first meeting of Dáil Éireann and the outbreak of the War of Independence. To discuss these events and the issues that they raise, History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham was joined by Brian Hanley, Liz Gillis, Niamh Puirséil

The Hedge School will take place in the National Photographic Archive (where the exhibition itself is hosted); stream or download a full recording here.
