Start Time: 12:00
Easter Monday Commemoration
The North Inner City Folklore Project will unveil a plaque to Captain Sean Connolly of the Citizen Army killed at Easter 1916.
The commemoration will take the following forms:-
1 At Liberty Hall, 12 noon, a pageant will take place which will include the unfurling of the flag which the Citizen Army hoisted a week before the Rising.
2 The assembled gathering, including relatives of the 1916 leaders, will then march to Sean MacDermott Street led by pipers and a colour party. At 58/59 Sean MacDermott Street Lower, where the house of Captain Sean Connolly once stood, a plaque will be unveiled to his memory and also to celebrate the memory of Molly O Reilly. Captain Sean Connolly, a member of the Citizen Army, was killed in action at City Hall on Easter Monday.
3 After the ceremony a photographic exhibition of Ireland’s fight for independence 1916 – 1923 will be held in the nearby Community Hall at Killarney Court.
