Proclaiming a Republic: The 1916 Rising <\/strong><\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce a new exhibit on the 1916 Easter Rising which is being hosted by the Walsh Library Gallery and Archives & Special Collections.<\/p>\n

The Easter Rising also known as the Easter Rebellion is perhaps the defining moment in modern Irish history. The Rising set the stage for events that changed the course of Irish history. However, the event itself was hampered by confusion and lack of support. On Easter Monday, April 24, 1916 rebel leader P\u00e1draic Pearse\u00a0<\/strong>read the Proclamation of the Republic from the front of the General Post Office (GPO) to a small and disinterested group of Dubliners.<\/p>\n
