Donal Fallon: The year ahead brings significant historical anniversaries in Ireland and abroad
"Fianna Fáil turns 100 and the United States marks 250 years since Declaration of Independence was signed"
"While the Decade of Centenaries is well and truly in the rear-view mirror, 2026 offers some of the most significant historical anniversaries since that period of national reflection."
"There will not only be centenaries - there are 50th anniversaries from the Northern Irish conflict too."
The Decade of Centenaries is now in the rear-view mirror. The year 2026 features several significant historical anniversaries that span national and international contexts. Fianna Fáil will reach its 100th anniversary, marking a century for the Irish political party. The United States will observe 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Several 50th anniversaries related to the Northern Irish conflict will also fall in 2026. These milestones will prompt commemorations, public events, and reflection on political and social histories across communities.
