Fr O’Reilly and Fr Fleming ran errands of mercy in various parts of the parish and all ministered to those who had been wounded during the battle at Mount Street Bridge. Fr O’Reilly also spent time at Boland’s Mills, going there under cross-fire to attend to dying volunteers. Holles Street opened its doors to all casualties during the Rising and after the surrender, the Irish Automobile Club ambulances transferred patients to St Vincent’s Hospital. These ambulances also brought bread and flour from Boland’s Mills over a four-day period, thus ensuring people did not starve.

    The 1916 Rising and County Wexford Introduction The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack is an introduction to County Wexford’s contribution to the uprising of that year. It offers information on many aspects: causes and context, a timeline of events, the aftermath, profiles of some local leaders, the role of women, and arts and literature inspired by the Rising, among others. Extracts from original documents of the period - letters, newspaper accounts, and witness statements are included. The selection provides a flavour of life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland and in County Wexford. It is intended to encourage and enable students to embark on further study. The pack includes references for all sources quoted and offers guidance to sources and resources for further research. The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack cannot and does not attempt to tell the story of the Rising in its entirety. Rather, it introduces the reader to the wealth of information available in primary sources - an essential starting point for all reliable research- and in books, websites and other e-sources. The pack focuses in particular on local supports - the materials in the Wexford Studies Collections located on the top floor of the County Library in Mallin St., Wexford town, and in the Wexford County Archive collections in Ardcavan, Wexford. While every effort is made here to offer as current a resource as possible, you are directed also to the Council’s website for the 2016 Commemorations, www.enniscorthy1916.ie which will be updated beyond the print date of this publication.

  • Belfast Heritage Trail
    Slí Oidhreachta Bhéal Feirste 1916 Belfast Heritage Trail Following Belfast’s Footsteps to the Easter Rising 2 Slí Oidhreachta Bhéal Feirste 1916 Belfast Heritage Trail 1916 and the Easter Rising changed Irish History, whilst the main events and the executions were centred in and around Dublin the full part played by those from Belfast has never fully been recognised until now. This new heritage trail uncovers the story and recognises the roles of many individuals from Belfast who played their part in organising one of the most historic events of the 20th century when a small group of Irish rebels took on the British Empire. 15 granite plaques have been commissioned and erected throughout the city that uncovers Belfast’s hidden heritage and showcases this seminal moment in the history of our city. 1 Eoin MacNeill Location: Lincoln Avenue, Antrim Road Eoin MacNeill was born in Glenarm, County Antrim, on 15 May 1867. He attended the local Protestant school in the village and St Malachy’s College, Belfast. He worked in the Accountant General’s office, Dublin and completed a degree course in economics, jurisprudence and constitutional history at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1893 he was involved in the formation of the Gaelic League. Also an Irish Volunteer, he was selected as Chief of Staff. On Easter Sunday 1916 an advertisement appeared in the newspaper the Sunday Independent and signed by Eoin MacNeill countermanding the order for the Irish Volunteers to mobilise. As a result, the Volunteer movement was thrown into a state of confusion. This led to the postponement of the rising until the following day, as a result the Rising was confined mainly to Dublin.
