Ireland and the Somme

– Iona Hall / Carmel Naughton Stage

As we approach the centenary of the start of the most destructive military operation in Irish and British military history, how should Irish nationalists and unionists remember the Battle of the Somme? Discussing the issue of remembrance with Myles Dungan (The History Show, RTÉ Radio 1) will be Kingsley Donaldson (Causeway Institute for Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution), playwright Brian Ervine (former leader of the Progressive Unionist Party) and John Loughran (Sinn Fein blogger).
