Does anyone know where I can find a high-school level course on more recent #Irish history (~1700 to present), typical of something a high schooler in #Eire would get?

I'm in .au, so suggestions for something online/audio books/text books would be awesome!

Looking for #opensource #linux #fediverse #mastodon people in #Ireland #Eire - #hackerspaces included ... anybody out there?

“All societies have national biographies in which we tend to tell ourselves the best stories of ourselves, but if we really want to know what a society holds dear, you need to look at who they exile, who they imprison, who they banish, who they cast out – and what is done to those people in each instance.”

Is the Republic of Ireland in the Eurozone ?
Bonus question, how do people near the EIRE / ULSTER border deal with different currency being used across the border, if that's the case ?
