‘Tracing its roots to the foundation of the Irish Volunteers in 1913, the Irish Defence Forces has evolved beyond recognition from the National Army that emerged in tandem with the new state in 1922 and was immediately plunged into a civil war. Drawing on his recently published history of the Defence Forces, Dr Eoin Kinsella will explore some of the key moments and inflection points in the history of the Irish Defence Forces over the past century.’
