Dublin remembers 1798

 

The pikemen of Monageer, County Wexford (top)—one of the many contingents from all over Ireland who marched through Dublin on Saturday 10 October on the invitation of the Dublin 1798 Commemoration Committee. Wreaths were laid at the Croppies Acre, in front of the National Museum, Collins Barracks, and the day’s events concluded with a rally (above) outside the GPO addressed by Canon Adrian Empey, John Gray (Belfast ’98 committee) and Richard Roche (Dublin ’98 committee).
