Netflix seems best for documentaries, in my opinion. So as I was reading this morning about the Queen of England shaking hands with Martin McGuinness yesterday, I realized I don't know enough Irish history. Are there any good Irish History documentaries available for Instant?

Watch Kill the irishman, and then watch the documentary on danny greene both are good movies
Leprechaun.
Michael Collins, Out of Ireland, or anything like it.
Just added both to my queue. I was hoping for more of a wide ranging, complete history of type of documentary though. These both look like great watches though. Thanks!
http://www.reddit.com/r/Documentaries/comments/vmxb5/who_can_suggest_a_good_documentary_abou_the/ this was posted yesterday, odd. Look up "The Troubles" that's what the Northern Ireland conflict has been historically called. There is sooo much history behind it and its great you want to learn more! Just know that Northern Ireland history is what this Martin McGuinness business is all about, I'm sure Ireland's entire history is also interesting but Northern Ireland is where its at.
Secret of Kells. That's what it used to be like before the British came.

This. Not really Irish history, but I was amazed at what I learned.
