A First World War tour of Dublin

October 2 @ 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm


**Apologies, registration full**

Join your tour guide Ronan McGreevy for A First World War tour of Dublin.

The First World War was the biggest war that Ireland participated in. The war left a bitter and contested legacy in Dublin which in 1914 began as a city in a British Empire at war with Germany and ended less than a decade later as the capital of the first independent Irish state.

In this unique tour First World War historian and author Ronan McGreevy visits some of the places in Dublin connected with the war and the historical and architectural heritage it left behind.

He takes visitors on a tour of the barracks where Irishmen trained to fight in the British army while the Easter Rising leaders were being interrogated, the grave of the Irish war hero who won a Victoria Cross and then joined the IRA, the youngest Irish fatality of the war and the French-Irish memorial which pays tribute to the thousands of Irishmen who died on French soil.

Note: Limited spaces, booking essential.
