Dáil éireann, meets for the very first time in dublin

January 21st , 1919

The First Dáil Éireann, a gathering of elected representatives of Sinn Féin, took place in Dublin’s Mansion House on January 21, 1919, which coincided with the Soloheadbeg ambush.

Dáil Éireann, was chaired by Sean T. O’Kelly

The Dáil declared Irish independence from Britain and established the Irish Republic, and this marked the beginning of the political struggle for Irish self-determination, which was closely intertwined with the armed conflict of the War of Independence.
