Seven Ages is a ground-breaking history charting the birth, growth and development of the Irish state since its foundation in 1921. For this unique television series, two ex-presidents—Patrick Hillery and Mary Robinson—have given extensive interviews, as have three former Taoisigh Garret FitzGerald, Charles Haughey and—in his first-ever television interview—Liam Cosgrave. In frank and extended conversations, free from the burdens of office, they discuss the roles they played in shaping the shared history.
Other senior politicians who give in depth interviews are Desmond O'Malley and Miochael D. Higgins and overall yield a dramatic overview of the seven decades of the state's existence from the perspective of today. With over 40 major interviews, the series captures the personal experiences and mind-view of those whose lives helped shape the Ireland of today
The series is a visual and oral record, a testimony from eye-witnesses both well-known and unknown, of the history, politics, culture and religion of the Irish state.
