On 4 July 2025 we will hold a one-day colloquium in collaboration with Siemens Ireland and ESB to commemorate 100 years since the passing of the Shannon Electricity Act on 4 July 1925 and the inception of the Shannon hydro-electric power station. The event will explore Irish-German relations of the time, delving into diplomatic, business, engineering, literary, and cultural contexts. Highlights include an exhibition of photographs, memorabilia, and postcards, alongside discussions on the transformative impact of the Shannon Scheme on Ireland’s modernisation, engineering advancements, and Irish-German migration links.
