"There were six women TDs in that Dáil and that number wouldn't be reached again for a long time after,” he said. Mr McCullagh said it’s the conversation about the six women TD’s in the Dáil at the time which fascinates him most about the historic event. "People know in broad terms what happened but you can tune in without a massive amount of knowledge and I think it’ll guide you through what happens and why it’s important and equally if you tune in and you do know a lot about it I think you will find it quite engaging because of the way they’ve scripted it,” he said. The journalist said he believes both history buffs and people who know nothing about the treaty negotiations will get enjoyment from the show. "So the idea is to try and get the viewer back into the time to how somebody following the news at the time would have felt.” "So, what was facing them was they didn’t know which way the vote was going to go, it was a very close vote considering the state of public opinion at the time, it’s quite dramatic, it’s really bitter and nobody knows what a yes vote is going to mean or what a no vote is going to mean. “With history, you know what the end result is so that kind of takes away from the sense of what it was like being there at the time, so the idea of this is with a little bit of imagination to try and get ourselves back in the time,” Mr McCullagh told the Irish Independent. It will also include a historical mock drama-documentary and detailed explainers featuring augmented reality. The show will consist of a studio chat with experts, historians and political analysts with simulated live satellite links to roving reports.
