About this Event

The talk which takes place online will consider how, as the Decade of Centenaries draws to a close, it is fitting to consider the role played by the Irish Diaspora during the Irish Revolutionary period and examine the impact that Irish emigrants and/or their descendants had on events in Ireland during this time.

The conference will explore the exponential growth of the Irish Diaspora, primarily the product of almost eight decades of consistent and sustained emigration, and the Diaspora's connection with home. Talks will explore how this facilitated, encouraged and directly influenced revolutionary activity in Ireland.

This event will take place online from 9.00am-6.00pm on Friday 11 June 2021.
