The Oireachtas Library & Research Service is exhibiting a copy of the Report of the Irish Convention 1918 in Leinster House.

The Irish Convention, which was held in the Regent House in Trinity College Dublin, was first suggested by the Prime Minister David Lloyd George in May 1917 as a way to break the deadlock around the issue of Home Rule for Ireland. However, it has been seen as a stalling device to allow the Irish question to be put on the long finger during the war.
