Diarmaid Ferriter, Gearoid O’Tuathaigh and Ann Dolan will discuss an underexplored decade which saw a vicious civil war, the birth of a divided state, the growth of Catholic conservatism, fear and trembling at the prospect of jazz, American movies and British tabloids sweeping the country, the beginnings of Fianna Fail and the Great Depression.
