The End of a Republic - Ireland 1922

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Written and compiled by OWEN DUDLEY EDWARDS
Fifty years ago this week the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed in London after centuries of strife between both countries. The decision by the Irish delegation to settle ' The Irish Question ' for once and for all was an agonising one.
When the news was brought back to Dublin there followed a split in Irish politics which resulted in a year of the bloodiest civil war that the island had ever experienced. Songs by BILL MEEK
Producer MAURICE LEITCH
