RCSI & the 1916 Rising
RCSI & the 1916 Rising
During Easter week 1916, RCSI unexpectedly found itself centre-stage in history when Republican rebels occupied College buildings in their uprising against British rule in Ireland.
Join this guided tour led by RCSI Head Porter Frank Donegan to learn about the rich heritage and history of RCSI and the part RCSI has played in shaping both local and national history, including when the building was seized by rebels led by Michael Mallin and Countess Markievicz during the 1916 Easter Rising.
Attendees are asked to meet at 1.45 p.m. in RCSI’s York Street entrance reception. The tour will begin promptly at 2 p.m. and conclude by 3:30 p.m.
