Carlow College, St Patricks,

<p>Carlow College is delighted to invite you to a Centenary Lecture, by Dr Mel Farell taking a look back at the end of the Irish Civil War.</p><p></p><h2>A﻿bout the Lecture</h2><p>The Irish Civil War ended on 24 May 1923 with Frank Aiken’s ceasefire order. It poisoned Irish life for decades. To paraphrase future Taoiseach Seán Lemass ‘terrible things were done by both sides’. Yet, a stable democracy emerged from the ruins with both sides contesting an open general election within twelve weeks of the ceasefire, on 27 August 1923. This lecture offers a centenary reflection on the end of the Civil War and the new state’s emergence as a stable democracy. </p><h2>About the Event</h2><p><strong>Time: </strong>Monday, 24th April 2023</p><p><strong>Time: </strong>1.45pm</p><p><strong>Location: </strong>Cobden Hall, Carlow College</p>
