The Irish Revolution was a module taught by Professor Laffan in the School of History and Archives, University College Dublin from the late 1970’s until his retirement in 2010.
Since it was first made available to podcast on History Hub in 2012, Professor Laffan’s highly engaging series has proven to be tremendously popular with academic and public audiences alike, and was even the No. 1 podcast series on iTunes in Ireland shortly after its launch. To date there have been over 1 million downloads/plays of Professor Laffan’s lecture series.
