Ba bhliain chinniúnach i stair na hÉireann é 1921. Scaradh an tír ina dhá cuid, agus bunaíodh Tuaisceart Éireann. Chuaigh cogadh na saoirse i ngéire, ach rinneadh sos cogaidh sa samhradh. Tar éis cainteanna i Londain, thángthas ar chomhaontú chun Saorstát Éireann a chur ar bun. Bhí a lán daoine míshásta leis, agus ba ghearr go raibh scoilt i ngluaiseacht na Poblachta, scoilt a rachadh in olcas le himeacht ama.Céad bliain ar aghaidh, tá iarmhairt na bliana sin le brath in Éirinn fós, agus díospóireacht ar siúl faoina bhfuil i ndán don tír.Sa seisiún seo, beidh imeachtaí 1921 á bplé ag Síobhra Aiken, Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh agus Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh, staraithe a bhfuil iniúchadh déanta acu ar an tréimhse chorrach seo de stair na tíre.1921 was a crucial year in Ireland’s history. The country was divided in two, and Northern Ireland established. The war of independence grew more intense, but a truce was worked out in the summer. After talks in London, an agreement was reached to establish the Irish Free State. Many were dissatisfied with it, and the Republican movement soon split, a split which would worsen as time went on.A hundred years on, the consequences of that year can still be felt in Ireland, as debate takes place on the country’s future.In this session, the events of 1921 will be discussed by Síobhra Aiken, Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh and Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh, historians who have examined this turbulent period in the country’s history.Síobhra AikenBhain Síobhra Aiken BA sa Léann Eorpach i gColáiste na Tríonóide agus MA sa Léann Éireannach in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. Bhain sí PhD in 2020 ó Ionad an Léinn Éireannaigh, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, agus bhronn an Chomhdháil Mheiriceánach do Léann na hÉireann Duais Adele Dalsimer uirthi as an tráchtas dochtúireachta is fearr. Tá dhá leabhar curtha in eagar aici: The Men Will Talk to Me: Ernie O’Malley’s Interviews with the Northern Divisions (2018) agus An Chuid Eile Díom Féin: Aistí le Máirtín Ó Direáin (2018). Foilseoidh Irish Academic Press a céad mhonagraf, Spiritual Wounds: Trauma, Testimony and the Irish Civil War, in 2022.Fearghal Mac BhloscaidhDe bhunadh Oirthear Thír Eoghain, is léachtóir i gColáiste Ollscoil Naomh Muire i mBéal Feirste é Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh.

Bhronn an tOireachtas agus an Chomhdháil Mheiriceánach do Léann na hÉireann duaiseanna ar Ainm na Saoirse (2019), a leabhar faoi Dháil Éireann agus an Ghaeilge. Chuir sé Saol Corrach in eagar, cainteanna a tugadh ag Féile na Staire in 2018.
