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 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, culture and politics since 1900. In this initial phase students will choose the subjects of their oral/written contributions.
