Machnamh 100
Machnamh 100 is an initiative of President Michael D. Higgins that builds on his extensive work to date during Ireland’s Decade of Commemorations that has examined and explored seminal events such as the Lockout of 1913, the First World War, The Easter Rising, the Flu Pandemic, the election of 1918 and the first Dáil.
The term “Machnamh” is an ancient Irish concept encompassing reflection, contemplation, meditation and thought. Over the coming year, President Higgins will host a series of seminars inviting reflections on the War of Independence, the Treaty Negotiations, the Civil War and Partition.
On Thursday 25 February 2021, the second of these seminars will take place and is titled ‘Empire: Instincts, Interests, Power and Resistance’,
