This FREE, seven-week programme commences on Tuesday 21 September with a lecture by Dr Eamon Pheonix, on the topic: ‘Ireland Divided: The Birth of Northern Ireland 1918-22’, in conjunction with Northern Ireland Screen.

The programme features talks from other prominent historians and academics on a series of topics relating to the 1918-1922 period including Professor Diarmaid Ferriter, Dr Russell Rees, Dr Margaret Ward, Dr Alan Parkinson, Dr Sinead McCoole and Dr Éamon Phoenix.

Speaking about the lecture series, the Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Errol Thompson, said: “The period between 1912 and 1922 featured many important moments in our shared history and it is right that we remember them based on historical accuracy, their impact and consequences, and through mutual understanding and respect in the context of an inclusive and accepting society.
