The posters are available for free.
An illustrated poster of the timeline of the Civil War in Co. Kildare has been produced as part of Kildare County Council’s Decade of Commemorations programme to mark the 100th anniversary of its outbreak in June 1922.
It details the main events that took place throughout the county during the period.
Copies of the poster are available for free via Kildare County Council’s public library network.
The Council says the poster will be of interest to anyone curious about the history of Co. Kildare at this time, particularly secondary school students studying this era of history.
In addition to the events which took place in Kildare, some of the main incidents which occurred on the national stage are also included to give context.
The Civil War in Co. Kildare poster was supported by the County Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media under the Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023 initiative.
