The course deals with the history of independent Ireland (Irish Free State, Eire, Republic of Ireland) from 1922 to accession to the EU in 1973. The first of the 4-5 introductory sessions by the lecturer will begin with a brief summary of Irish history up to 1800. He will later offer a detailed overview of Irish society and politics since 1900. In this initial phase students will choose the subjects of their oral/written contributions.
