Join us for a fly on the wall glimpse into the world of the Irish political landscape during the Rainbow Coalition of 1994 -1997.

Shane Kenny, press secretary of The Rainbow Coalition, guides us through the conflicts and conversations which led to the ground-breaking Good Friday Agreement. Be enlightened to the process which established The McCracken Inquiry, a precursor to the Moriarty Tribunal examining the sources of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey’s wealth, and a divorce referendum which championed freedom of choice to a modern Ireland.

Irish Sign Language (ISL) interpretation will be provided for this event.
