Ireland and the birth of Europe
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Sector
Art / Culture / History
Ireland joined the European Economic Community, the forerunner of the European Union, in 1973, half a century after regaining independence. But Irish participation in the development of European identities dates back more than a thousand years.
This is the story of the part played by Irish scholars and missionaries in the early history of the European idea, especially their cultural role in the consolidation of the empire built by the Carolingians, an empire that covered most of western Europe.
Researched, written and curated by Dr Damian Bracken, University College Cork, and Dr Angela Byrne for the Department of Foreign Affairs.
