At 4 minutes past noon, 110 years ago today, Pádraig Pearse walks onto O’Connell Street in Dublin and reads the Proclamation on behalf of the Provisional Government, proclaiming the whole of Ireland as a Sovereign Independent Republic.
Our National Flag is raised above the GPO.
#OTD 110 years ago, the Easter Rising began as the Irish Republic was declared from the front of the GPO.
5 of the 7 signatories of the Proclamation - Pearse, Clarke, Connolly, Mac Diarmada and Plunkett - spent their last hours of freedom in No.16 Moore Street
IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN:
In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.
The Easter Rising began on this day in 1916
As we remember the courage of the men & women of 1916, let’s protect the very streets & laneways where history was made
We have produced an alternative plan for the positive development of a historic 1916 Quarter taking in all of Moore Street

Great to see our Irish WSL mná not wearing the colonial poppy on their jerseys! Ní neart go chur le chéile and the right thing to do after the disgraceful David Cleary aka Soldier F trial 💚
