A Short History Of Ireland

In the wake of its 30th birthday celebrations in 2006, BBC Radio Ulster marked the beginning of a new broadcasting era by embarking on the station's most ambitious project to date: a recounting of the history of Ireland.

For easy digestion, the story of the island is told in a series of 240 short documentaries amp;mdash; starting with the Ice Age and the arrival of the first humans through to the outbreak of the Second World War.
