Taoiseach Micheál Martin will deliver the opening address at The Irish Civil War National Conference at University College Cork on Wednesday, June 15.

This landmark four-day national conference will see over 130 experts gather to reflect on the conflict which began 100 years ago this June. The conference will explore the political, social, cultural, military, and economic dimensions to the Irish Civil War.

This major Conference marks a new chapter in the Decade of Centenaries, as our reflections move on from Ireland’s hard-fought independence to a new contemplation of an internal struggle that divided families and friends. It is fitting that The Irish Civil War National Conference should be held in UCC. The academics and researchers from our School of History have excelled throughout the analysis of the Decade of Centenaries by leading debate, provoking thought, and challenging consensus, and I look forward to further stimulating and inspiring conversations over the four days.

UCC President Professor John O'Halloran
