The National Archives is delighted to announce ‘The Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations under the magnifying glass with Michael Portillo in conversation with Professor Marie Coleman’, the second event in our commemorative lecture series for autumn–winter 2021.

The talk will be streamed live from the Royal Irish Academy on Dawson Street, Dublin at 6pm on Thursday 28 October next and will see Michael Portillo (broadcaster and former British cabinet minister) discuss with Professor Marie Coleman (Professor in Modern Irish History, Queen’s University, Belfast) the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations held in London from 11 October–6 December 1921.

The speakers will debate what was at stake for both delegations and their respective governments and will consider the wider implications the Treaty had, not just for future Anglo-Irish relations but also for Britain’s allies and empire.
