Oireachtas to mark 90th anniversary of first Dáil

The two houses of the Oireachtas are due to hold a joint sitting at the Mansion House in Dublin today to mark the 90th anniversary of the first Dáil.

The first meeting of Dáil Éireann took place at the same building in January 1919 following the general election held the previous month, while Ireland was still under British rule.
