High quality reply right here. Is /his/ always like this?

The fomorians were there and then the Tuatha De Danaan came, fucked their shit up and told them to fuck off back home. Then some men came and fucked some Tuatha and then Cuchulainn through a ball threw a dog and the rest is history.

I specialised in Medieval Ireland, so someone else will have to help you out in terms of modern Irish history

introduction and guide
Daniel McCarthy, The Irish Annals.Their genesis, evolution and history

Jean-Michel Picard, Ireland and northern France, AD 600–850
Francis J. Byrne, Irish kings and high-kings
Francis J. Byrne, The rise of the Uí Néill and the high-kingship of Ireland
Brian Ó Cuív, ‘Ireland in the eleventh and twelfth centuries’, in TheodoreW. Moody &Francis X. Martin, The course of Irish history

That should take you from around the 5th century until the 16th

Also stay away from R.F. Foster OP, he's as revisionist as they come. Very much a proponent of "the British dindu nuffin, they wuz good boys, the IRB wuz a buncha bleedin' racists, if Ireland was still in the UK we'd have a space program by now" school of thought and has some very bizarre racial theories about where Northern Irish Protestants come from.

Looking for an overview to start with, as my knowledge of Irish history is honestly very basic.

Thanks man, I'll check those out.
>Brian Ó Cuív, ‘Ireland in the eleventh and twelfth centuries’, in TheodoreW. Moody &Francis X. Martin, The course of Irish history

Pretty sure I saw 'The course of Irish History' at my uni library earlier but as I didn't know any better I picked pic related.

I started it, I must say the style leaves much to be desired but it seems detailed and informative. Of course I wouldn't know if it's biased or simplistic.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind and stay away from it then
