DUBLIN FESTIVAL OF HISTORY

Join us for a journey through history at Dublin Port! We're excited to be part of Dublin Festival of History for a series of talks

In 1986, the maritime historian, John de Courcey Ireland, wrote: ‘The lives of island peoples like Ireland’s [have] been dominated by the seas encircling them. Yet this fact has been largely ignored by Irish historians’. Is Irish history still ‘sea blind’? To address this question join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with Angela Byrne (Dictionary of Irish Biography), Captian Michael McKenna (Dublin Port Harbour Master), Lar Joye (Heritage Officer, Dublin Port) and David Murphy (Maynooth University).
