Irish history has had a profound influence on the Irish. It has certainly shaped the character of the state, and its influence is also fundamental to the difficulty of finding peace in Northern Ireland. The value of looking back is to honour that which was noble and to acknowledge and try to correct what went wrong. Martin Mansergh's writings in The Legacy of History help us to do just that.
