11:00 - "Irish Genealogy Basics" with David Ryan
Irish research has a reputation for being difficult. It can also be a bit overwhelming starting out. From DNA tests to census records and everything in between, what is the best place to start? This talk will examine some of the basics of Irish genealogy and offer you tips on making the best start in your research.

13:00 - "Order, Counterorder and Disorder: The Cork Brigade of Irish Volunteers and the 1916 Rising" with Gerry White
The 1916 Rising lasted from 24 April to 29 April and fighting was pretty much confined to Dublin. Though it was one of the largest and best led units in the Irish Volunteer organisation, the Cork Brigade failed to take part in the Rising. This presentation examines to factors that led to this failure and the impact that the aftermath of the Rising had in Cork.
