Every country has a pivotal moment in history it sees as its birth. For the United States, it's 1776 and the start of the Revolutionary War. These moments often symbolize success. However, in Ireland, that defining moment is the Easter Rising of 1916—a rebellion that ended in military defeat, the internment of rebels, and the execution of its leaders. The Rising did not immediately grant Ireland a republic; instead, it led to a partitioned nation, with one part remaining under British rule and the other as a dominion of the British Commonwealth. Despite its failure, the events of 1916 sparked a sense of national identity and pride that would fuel Ireland's eventual independence. The short-lived Irish Republic declared on Easter Monday continues to inspire and captivate. How did five days of conflict shape the course of a nation? Join this tour to discover the lasting impact of the 1916 Easter Rising on Ireland’s journey to independence.
• Discover how a five-day rebellion reshaped Irish history. • Experience the rebellion through the eyes of a guide with personal connections to key sites. • Start at Dublin Castle, the center of English rule for 700 years, and stand at the spot where the first shots were fired. • Explore Trinity College, a British Army stronghold during the conflict, and hear the remarkable story of your guide’s relatives—one fought for the British, the other was shot outside the GPO after fighting for the rebels. • Learn about key leaders like Pádraig Pearse and socialist James Connolly, and explore the blending of militant republicanism, socialism, and Gaelic cultural nationalism. • Visit the General Post Office (GPO), the headquarters of the Republic, Moore Street, the site of the final stand, and the location of the surrender. • Optional tram ride to the final resting place of the executed leaders.
