Soloheadbeg and the opening of Dáil Éireann | January 1919 - Episode 5
At the October 1918 Ard Fheis Sinn Féin committed itself to calling a meeting of Dáil Éireann following the General Election. Convening on the 21st of January 1919 the Dáil ratified the Irish Republic declared in 1916 and called on the Paris Peace Conference for recognition. But in county Tipperary the ambush of a consignment of explosives and the killing of two policemen escorting it would mark the beginning of the War of Independence.
