The tour will cover the political history of Dublin/ El tour repasará la historia política de Dublín en el contexto de la sociedad celta, los ataques y ocupación vikinga, la invasión normanda, y la posterior ocupación colonial británica con sus 800 años de represión y resistencia. Se explicará también el desastre de La Gran Hambruna. The Great Hunger will also be explained.

The history of the resistence will refer to various organisations. La historia de la resistencia pasa por las varias organizaciones – los Irlandeses Unidos (United Irishmen), Joven Irlandeses (Young Irelanders), los Fenianos (Fenians), los Voluntarios Irlandeses (Irish Volunteers), Ejercito Ciudadano (Citizen Army) y el IRA. Valdría la pena, pero no es absolutamente necesario leer algo breve acerca de estas organizaciones antes de la gira. It would be worthwhile, although not absolutely necessary, to read briefly about these organisations prior to going on the tour.

The history of workers' struggle will also be touched upon and in particular that of the Dublin Lockout. También tendremos la oportunidad de aprender sobre la lucha sindical y en especial sobre el Gran Cierre Patronal (Dublin Lockout) de 1913 cuyo centenario es este mismo año/ the centenary of which falls on this year.

Historical locations and monuments relating to the periods/ Durante el tour se visitan lugares históricos y monumentos relacionados con las distintas épocas/ will be visited during the tour..
