About this listen

In the wake of its 30th birthday celebrations in 2006, BBC Radio Ulster marked the beginning of a new broadcasting era by embarking on the station's most ambitious project to date: a recounting of the history of Ireland.

For easy digestion, the story of the island is told in a series of 240 short documentaries - starting with the Ice Age and the arrival of the first humans through to the outbreak of the Second World War.

Fair, even handed and well produced

Well presented

The presentation of this history is entertaining through some of the early events and properly sober during the darker times while still remaining interesting. A mix of facts and anecdotes from letters sets the tone for more modern history very well.
