Thirty one years ago, on the 31^st of August 1994, the IRA announced a "complete cessation of military operations". A vital early step to ending years of violence that culminated in the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

Join us at the GPO Museum as we commemorate the anniversary of this momentous event with a special guided tour charting the turbulent path to peace on the island of Ireland during the twentieth century.

This tour will focus on key developments in twentieth century Irish political and social history, leading to the peace agreement reached in 1998. The tour will cover a range of topics, including the Home Rule crisis of 1912, the 1918 general election, partition and the emergence of two states on the island of Ireland, the outbreak of the Troubles, and power-sharing in Northern Ireland since the start of the twenty-first century.

You will uncover the devastation caused to families who lost children in the crossfire in battles across Dublin and Ireland.
