The History Show 6th March 2016

Today, The History Show will cover ‘Reflecting The Rising’, RTÉ’s public history event which will take place across Dublin City on Easter Monday.

By delving into the programme of events, Myles Dungan and guests will explore what actually happened in Dublin during the Easter Rising, why it happened, and how it changed Ireland.
