Cormac Moore, Historian in Residence, Dublin City Libraries, North Central Area, continues his fortnightly talks with Noel McGuinness. This week he talks about the aftermath of the Rising and takes a look back at the years 1917 and 1918 culminating in the General Election of 1918 which saw Sinn Fein overtake the Home Rule movement as the dominant force in Irish politics.
