Century Ireland: Virtual newspaper brings century-old events to life

A virtual newspaper bringing the most momentous period of Irish history to life has gone live.

Jimmy Deenihan, the heritage minister, said the digitalised material would catalogue the major events that shaped modern Ireland, from Home Rule to the Civil War, in a fair way.

He said the project — which is part of the Decade of Centenaries initiative — would make history tangible and accessible for the audience of today.
