The Treaty Debates
In 1921 and 1922 we mark the centenary of the Dáil debates on the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
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.
Educational film series
Our Voice, Our Story

Dealing with different theme in each episode, this is a comprehensive look at how Ireland has tried - and sometimes failed - to mature as a state in the century after gaining independence.
