Dublin Festival of History talk by Eoin Kinsella Managing Editor, Dictionary of Irish Biography.
Tracing its history to the foundation of the Irish Volunteers in 1913, the Irish Defence Forces has evolved beyond recognition from the force that emerged in tandem with the new state in 1922. Highlighting the men and women of the Army, Air Corps, Naval Service and Reserve, Eoin Kinsella’s recent study offers the first complete overview of the development of the Defence Forces from the foundation of the Irish Free State to the present day.
