Women & Ireland's Constitutional Story1pm

From Párliment na mBan in 1670 to feminist organising in every century, Ireland has repeatedly generated fresh ways of thinking about law and authority. Aoife O Donohue’s talk explores the legacy of trail blazing women like Constance Markievicz, Mary Robinson and many others. Free event. No booking required.
