The First Dáil
On 21 January 1919, Dáil Éireann held its first public sitting and claimed the right of Ireland to self-government. The inaugural public meeting, watched by crowds of supporters and journalists, conveyed the message that a new era in Irish history had dawned.

The discussion on the Treaty was the most significant debate in the history of the Dáil. It was a crucial moment in Ireland’s history that set a new path for Ireland.
