The Corke Hill Gate in Dublin, where in 1916, the first fatalities of the Easter Rising occurred.
On 24th April, Constable James O'Brian was shot just before midday as he was closing these gates on the advancing troops of the Citizen Army Fighters.
Frongoch Internment Camp at Frongoch in Merionethshire, Wales was a makeshift place of imprisonment during the First World War.
Until 1916 it housed German prisoners of war in an abandoned whisky distillery and crude huts, but in the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, Ireland, the German prisoners were moved and it was used as a place of internment for approximately 1,800 Irish prisoners of war, among them Michael Collins who would later direct operations during the War of Independence and later go on to command the Irish Free State Army before being killed in action by the IRA during the Irish Civil War.
The camp became a fertile seeding ground for the spreading of the revolutionary gospel of the Irish rebels, with inspired organisers such as Michael Collins giving impromptu lessons in guerrilla tactics. Later the camp became known as ollscoil na réabhlóide, the "University of Revolution".
The camp was emptied in December 1916 when David Lloyd George replaced H. H. Asquith as Prime Minister.
A plaque has existed at Frongoch beside the A4212 Bala to Trawfynydd Road for some time.
In 2016 the monument was enhanced, an interpretation board and flagpoles added from which the Welsh and Irish Flags are flown.
Each Easter Monday a ceremony is held at the memorial which stands beside the A4212 Bala to Trawsfynydd Road.

A minutes walk from this corridor, 14 leaders of the Easter rising where murdered by British firing squads in 1916.
The men had earlier been tried in secrecy at Richmond Barracks in Dublin at a series of field general courts-martial where they were permitted no defence counsel.
The executions began on the morning of 3 May with Patrick Pearse, Thomas Clarke and Thomas MacDonagh being shot by firing squad at the Stonebreaker’s Yard in Kilmainham Gaol. The following morning Joseph Plunkett, Edward Daly, Michael O'Hanrahan and Willie Pearse were shot, followed by John MacBride on the morning after.
Éamonn Ceannt, Michael Mallin, Seán Heuston and Con Colbert were shot on 8 May, followed by Seán Mac Diarmada and James Connolly on 12 May. There are reports that Connolly was already grievously ill and was unable to stand in front on the firing squad that shot him.
These came into circulation in January. This is the first one I've seen. Apparently 4.5 million were minted,
Established in 1798, its location in the Dublin Mountains makes it not just one of the nation's oldest, but its highest, at an altitude of 770 feet. Glencullen, County Dublin, Ireland.
Fundado en 1798, su ubicación en las montañas de Dublín lo convierte no solo en uno de los más antiguos del país, pero también el más alto, a una altitud de 234 metros. Glencullen, Condado de Dublín, Irlanda.
Joseph Mary Plunkett was one of leaders of the Irish Rebellion of Easter Week, 1916, the 100th anniversary of which we are currently celebrating in Ireland. He was one of the seven signatories of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic which was read out at the start of the rising. Deeply religious he was a poet and a mystic.
After the rising all seven signatories of the proclamation were executed by the British military. James Connolly, who had been wounded in the fighting, was unable to stand and was executed sitting down in a chair. Seven hours before his execution by firing squad at the age of 28, Plunkett was married in the prison chapel to his sweetheart Grace Gifford, a Protestant convert to Catholicism, whose sister, Muriel, had years before also converted and married his best friend and fellow poet Thomas MacDonagh (see yesterdays post), who was also executed for his role in the Rising.
Apart from his role in the rising Plunkett is best remembered for this beautiful poem.
I see His Blood Upon the Rose
I see his blood upon the rose
And in the stars the glory of his eyes,
His body gleams amid eternal snows,
His tears fall from the skies.
I see his face in every flower;
The thunder and the singing of the birds
Are but his voice—and carven by his power
Rocks are his written words.
All pathways by his feet are worn,
His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea,
His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn,
His cross is every tree.
This shot was taken through the peephole of a prison cell in Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin. The jail remained in service from the 1780s until the Irish Civil War in 1923. The building is now a National Monument to the rebels who fought and died for Irish independence.
This particular cell was the last resting place of Irish Patriot Joseph Plunkett, who married Grace Gifford in the prison on the day before his execution by firing squad in May 1916, following the Easter Rebellion.
To end the week we have a familiar scene but an unfamiliar variation and view of that scene! O'Connell Bridge in 1916, apparently after the Rising, with military figures around and works going on in the central island. What does the photograph tell us and when, exactly, was it taken?

It has been said that you are not truly dead until you are forgotten which makes this image so sad to see! A handsome young man, clearly full of life and with all of his life before him died violently during a revolt. There is no name to be put to the photograph so he can be remembered for who he was! It does bring to mind the words of the song:
in some loyal heart is your memory enshrined
and though you died back in 1916
to that loyal heart you're forever nineteen
or are you a stranger without even a name
forever enshrined behind some old glass pane
in an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained
and faded to yellow in a brown leather frame

The long and the short of it to finish this week. A wide group of people who served in and survived the siege of the General Post Office in 1916. In typical Irish fashion it would seem that the numbers have expanded somewhat since the great event - or am I being cynical?
Our typical goal in these matters is to identify date, location and subject. Fred Dean Snr and Niall McAuley were quick to confirm the first two: Croke Park in October 1938. Given the incredible number of subjects here, it may be some time before they are all named. But some of the bigger (read 'political') names and faces have been identified by Niall McAuley, Dún Laoghaire Micheál, and Swordscookie as likely including Seán T O'Kelly, Oscar Traynor, and Seán Lemass. Even Megazoom(TM) may not be enough to fully identify the rest....

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Irish Political Figures Photographic Collection. Our boss has decided to make the collection available for use on Flickr. Grasping the opportunity with both hands, our first selection is perhaps the most iconic image from the collection. We see Pádraic Pearse surrendering to General William Henry Muir Lowe and his son John, on Moore Lane, Dublin. Partially visible to Pearse's right is nurse Elizabeth O'Farrell.
As today's contributors have noted, this image is described as "one of the most famous and widely reproduced Irish historical images". It was likely taken on Parnell Street (between Moore Street and Moore Lane), at approximately 2:30pm on 29 April 1916, evidently by an amateur photographer who was a British Army officer at the scene. At least a handful of slightly altered versions exist - some seemingly attempting to account for the boots of Nurse Farrell, who was half hidden (or perhaps hiding?) behind Pearse. While history has focused more on the men pictured (Lowe and Pearse especially), in more recent years some recognition has been afforded to Elizabeth O'Farrell and her contributions before, during and after the Rising....

Dublin (Irish: Baile Átha Cliath) is the capital and largest city of Ireland. It is on the east coast of Ireland, in the province of Leinster, at the mouth of the River Liffey, and is bordered on the south by the Wicklow Mountains. It has an urban area population of 1,173,179, while the population of the Dublin Region (formerly County Dublin), as of 2016, was 1,347,359, and the population of the Greater Dublin area was 1,904,806.
There is archaeological debate regarding precisely where Dublin was established by the Gaels in or before the 7th century AD. Later expanded as a Viking settlement, the Kingdom of Dublin, the city became Ireland's principal settlement following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of Union in 1800. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, Dublin became the capital of the Irish Free State, later renamed Ireland.
Dublin is a historical and contemporary centre for education, the arts, administration and industry. As of 2018 the city was listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a global city, with a ranking of "Alpha −", which places it amongst the top thirty cities in the world.

This morning we have an image of one of the lesser known leaders, Michael Mallin of the Easter Rising in 1916. It was requested by one of our contributors, Dún Laoighaire Míchael.
And it is Dún Laoghaire Micheál who lets us know that Dún Laoghaire rail station was named after Mallin on the 50th anniversary of his execution (although he wonders whether there was any connection that prompted this specifically). Other contributors, including Niall McAuley, BeachcomberAustralia and Bernard Healy advise that Mallin's son is the last surviving child of any of the participants executed after the Rising in 1916; Fr Joe Mallin is remaining active until very recently, at the age of 103...

Ireland’s turbulent history is never far from the surface, wherever the traveller goes in Dublin. In Parnell Square, for example, is the Garden of Remembrance, a small landscaped area of land dedicated to the memory of "all those who gave their lives in the cause of Irish Freedom".
The garden is on the site where the Irish Volunteers were founded in 1913, and where several leaders of the 1916 Rising were held before their execution. Among those commemorated here are freedom fighters from the rebellions of 1798, 1803 and 1848, plus the 1916 Easter Rising of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army, and the 1919-21 Irish War of Independence in which the Irish Republican Army played a significant role.
In May 2011, Queen Elizabeth II laid a wreath here, in a remarkable gesture of reconciliation between England and Ireland that was much praised by many people and the media in the Republic.
James Connolly said of Larkin, his colleague in the labour movement: "We have amongst us a man of genius, of splendid vitality, great in his conceptions, magnificent in his courage". GB Shaw described him as ‘the greatest Irishman since Parnell’. In 1908 the NUDL sent Larkin to Dublin to mobilise port workers there but, feeling betrayed by events in Belfast and anxious to break free from British trade unionism, he established his own union, the Irish Transport and General Workers Union (ITGWU). Within three years it had become Ireland’s largest and most militant union and he himself had become the object of workers’ adulation. He was an inspiring orator, physically powerful, and tireless in his efforts on behalf of his workers. Seeking not only to improve their working conditions but also to restore their self-respect, he supported policies that promoted social equality and justice and encouraged cultural and social achievement. He rented accommodation in Clontarff and acquired Liberty Hall in 1912 as the union’s headquarters. In 1911, he established a weekly newspaper, the ‘Irish Worker and People’s Advocate’ which reached a circulation of 20,000 and was arguably the most effective propaganda sheet at that time in Ireland.
This image of the 1916 volunteer Michael O'Hanrahan with ghosting images of at least two others for Wednesdays shot. The timing of this is a reminder that this time 100 years ago O'Hanrahan and others were in a battle for the centre of Dublin as British Army troops from the ports and other parts of the country were tightening their grip on the city. The heavy overcoat, so much a necessity of times past, is now almost never seen any longer.
More on O'Hanrahan is to be found in the comments below, and our "1916 Rising: Personalities and Perspectives" exhibition.

After the fun we had yesterday, I am very confident to present this fantastic photograph, the catalogue description is "Release of Republican Prisoners, Dun Laoghaire 1918? (Showing Dev)" the notes also point us to the bottom left of the photograph. The question is how many more can we name?
Though labelled as "circa 1918" in the catalogue, the general consensus is that this is a snapshot of a 117 prisoners, most detained following the 1916 Rising, who returned to Ireland in June 1917. The contemporary descriptions of the prisoners' return (includng the headwear, somewhat disheleved suits, somewhat uncharacteristic flat cap for DeV, and rough shorn buzz cuts of the prisoners), all seem to align with what we see in this image. And what we read in its description. Thanks to sharon.corbet for the initial prompt and to BeachcomberAustralia for the corroberating reports!

Secret orders from Irish Office is today's image from the Mason Collection and describes an operation to sweep up Irish Republicans in 1916. That it was a military only and not a combined operation, is clear from the fact that the Dublin Metropolitan Police and Royal Irish Constabulary will be confined to barracks. When was this and what was the result of the operation?

"Proclamation" by Rowan Gillespie is a permanent outdoor sculpture honouring the leaders of the Easter Rising, and the authors of the Irish proclamation of Independence. It stands across the road from the notorious Kilmainham Gaol where the seven proclamation scribes were executed in 1916. The original commission was for the seven signatories of the Proclamation but Gillespie donated the other seven martyrs to the site himself.
I had originally thought these photos were purely WW1 related however it seems they are connected to the arrest of 22 men on May 9th, 1916 in the aftermath of the Easter Rising. I believe all the men were later released.
This photo taken on Main Street, Rathfarnham in front of the Munster & Leinster Bank. The building in the left background was a Royal Irish Constabulary barracks. The vehicles all belong to the Royal Navy.
There is a mention of the arrests in this account from the Annals of Loreto Abbey,

The Church of the Sacred Heart, Arbour Hill, Dublin 7 was given the title “Church of the Defence Forces” in 1997, with the closure of Collins Barracks, which is located directly across the road from the Church.
Historically the location is of major significance, since in the grounds of Arbour Hill Church are buried the remains of the leaders who died in the Easter Rising of 1916.
The Church of the Sacred Heart forms part of a tripartite façade – known as Arbour Hill Prison. The church is linked to the main entrance of the prison by screen walls, which extend to the Governor’s House on the far side. This complex of buildings was designed by Jacob Owen in 1835 and later rebuilt by Joshua Webb in 1845. Work on the buildings was completed in 1848.
The church has an elaborate cruciform interior and a stained glass window by the Harry Clarke Studios behind the altar. It has an unusual entrance porch with stairs leading to twin galleries for visitors at the nave and transept. This feature is copied from the National Scotch Church, Bow St, London designed by Robert Wallace.
Another interesting architectural feature is the Celtic round tower which erupts from a rectangular base.
I must admit that I did not that there was a garrison school at this location.
The military cemetery at Arbour Hill is the last resting place of 14 of the executed leaders of the insurrection of 1916. Among those buried there are Patrick Pearse, James Connolly and Major John Mc Bride. The leaders were executed in Kilmainham and then their bodies were transported to Arbour Hill, where they were buried.
The graves are located under a low mound on a terrace of Wicklow granite in what was once the old prison yard. The gravesite is surrounded by a limestone wall on which their names are inscribed in Irish and English. On the prison wall opposite the gravesite is a plaque with the names of other people who gave their lives in 1916.
The adjoining Church of the Sacred Heart, which is the prison chapel for Arbour Hill prison, is maintained by the Department of Defence. At the rear of the church lies the old cemetery, where lie the remains of British military personnel who died in the Dublin area in the 19th and early 20th century.
The prison was designed by Sir Joshua Jebb and Frederick Clarendon and opened on its present site in 1848, to house military prisoners. The church has an unusual entrance porch with stairs leading to twin galleries for visitors in the nave and transept. Another unusual feature is the Celtic round tower which erupts from a rectangular base. It opened as a civilian prison in 1975.

Moore Street was one of seven sites chosen for simultaneous wreath-laying ceremonies at 1.15pm, to mark the first shots from the GPO on Easter Monday however protesters heckled Heather Humphreys a government minister. Shouts of “shame on you” and “out, out, out” came from the crowd as Ms Humphreys laid a wreath.
Ms Humphreys has recently been criticised over her department’s stance on the protection of buildings linked to the Rising on Moore Street.
Numbers 14-17 had been designated a national monument but the High Court earlier this month ruled the protection should be extended to numbers 13-19 as the properties were a battlefield site. The Minister argued only one terrace at 14-17 Moore Street, including No 16 where some of the leaders met for the last time before their execution was a national monument. Her department had argued the other buildings were “not historically important”.
