Overview

This tour will chart the revolutionary period of 1913-1923, a decade of division, war and rhetoric that created the independent Irish state and partitioned the island of Ireland.

On this tour you will visit sites of revolutionary importance including: the GPO, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin Castle, the Four courts, the Abbey Theatre, and the Four Courts. We will trace how a group of plucky rebels changed the course of Irish history in April 1916.

A failed rebellion and a noble sacrifice would radicalise the Irish population. In 1919 a guerrilla war would erupt ending in an imperfect Anglo-Irish treaty. It was hardly a peace treaty, however, as Ireland descended into Civil War in 1922. The issue that caused it, the border. A border that remains an issue of contention to this very day.
