The first meeting of Dáil Éireann occurred on 21 January 1919 in the Round Room of the Mansion House: the residence of the Lord Mayor in Dublin. Being the first and highly symbolic meeting, the proceedings of the Dáil were conducted for the only time entirely in the Irish language, except for previously drafted declarations that were repeated in other languages as well. The Dáil elected Cathal Brugha as its Ceann Comhairle (chairman or speaker). A number of short documents were then adopted. These were the:

• Dáil Constitution - a brief, provisional constitution.
  
• Declaration of Independence
  
• Message to the Free Nations of the World
  
• Democratic Programme - a tract espousing certain principles of socialism
  

Post a photo+comment you think represents something important in these 90 years.

Squabbling posts will be deleted.

Hmmm..... real photos please.

Bloody Sunday.
