Ireland: Small Island,
Big History
4 sessions, 6 hours
Ireland has had an impact on world history far greater than one
would expect for such a small island on the western edge of Europe.

across the globe. In a “big picture” survey of Ireland’s history we will
trace this remarkable story from Neolithic times to the present day.
