Among the speakers was Dr Margaret Ward, author of Unmanageable Revolutionaries, a book that describes how Irish republican women – particularly those involved in Cumann na mBan – have always played a key role in the struggle for Irish freedom and independence despite their frequent omission from the history books.

The event took place on Wednesday 5th March.
