Join Ireland's top alternative history podcast hosts Kevin & Jason (Shite Talk: An Irish History Podcast) at The Fumbally Stables for an immersive journey into the heart of the Irish Free State. Part of the Culture Date with Dublin 8 festival, "Reeling in the Years: 1926" is a deep dive into the lives, the drama, and the data of a century ago.

In 1926, the first census of the independent Irish State was taken, capturing a unique , raw snapshot of post-independence life. We aren't just looking at the numbers - we’re bringing them to life. With a special guest speaker from the National Archives.
