About this Event
To mark the centenary of the Easter Rising as a seminal event in 20th century Irish history. We were keen to highlight the role of the Glasgow-based members of the Irish Volunteers and Cumann na mBan who went from Scotland to Ireland to participate in the 1916 Rising, in Dublin, Galway and Wexford.
