Irish Lives: Shapers of Ireland
This series of lectures and discussions aims to consider the lives of significant Irish people as a way of increasing our understanding of some of the main elements that have shaped Irish history and culture. The range is wide, both in terms of time and activity; however, the overriding historical and cultural themes of continuity and change are well illustrated by this selection of Irish lives.
