Speaking at #CastleHandoverTCD conference, Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD said “I believe that an open and challenging approach to history, one which honours success but is not afraid to evolve or to acknowledge failings, is an essential foundation for our democracy…”

My supervisor Dr Anne Dolan discussing popular reactions of the handover of Dublin Castle - the excitement and joy captured in contemporary sources reminds me that every historic event has countless futures ahead, the present was once one of many possibilities #CastleHandoverTCD
Now we explore the considerable power of the symbolism of Dublin Castle in Irish life & imagination in 1922 and the decades that followed. This will be explored by William Derham @opwireland, Prof @kellehmv @UCD_English & Dr Anne Dolan, chaired by Dr Patrick Geoghegan @TCDHistHum
Derham @opwireland explores de Valera’s role in securing @dublincastleopw‘s future by securing it as a centre for Irish State ceremonies - fitting that he bid his farewell to the nation here when he lay in state after his death in 1975 #DublinCastleHandover100 #CastleHandoverTCD
"The history of a nation as often lies hidden in social wrongs and domestic griefs as in the story of revolution, and if it be for the historian to narrate the one, it is for the novelist to dissect and explain the other" - @kellehmv #CastleHandoverTCD
Our second panel considers the reactions to the handover of State power to former rebels across a range of communities by Dr Ian dAlton, Dr @elspethpayne (both @TCDHistHum), Dr Margaret O’Callaghan @QUB_History & Dr @NiamhGal @Cambridge_Uni #DublinCastleHandover100
Chair @CWallaceDublin @VirtualTreasury notes that from all the papers, it seems that all groups were focused on looking to the future - the potential after the handover - than harking back to the past, reflecting Anne Dolan's discussion on the 'hopeful atmosphere' of the time
