Our Island Story

Master storyteller Vincent Mc Donnell relates the exciting story of Ireland from the earliest times, as Stone Age settlers arrived 9, 000 years ago, through to the present day. From the building of the mysterious and magnificent tombs, such as Newgrange, to the arrival of Christianity, Ireland s history is unfolded: invasion first by the Vikings, then the Normans, and the beginning of English rule. Conquered by a foreign nation and brutally oppressed, devastated by the Great Famine, the Irish refused to yield and eventually won freedom.
