Easter Rising Dublin 1916
During our stay in Dublin two years ago when we attended the 2004 European Heart Lung Transplantation Games, we had the possibility to visit the General Postoffice and took some photos of the paintings decorating the walls in the lobby. The paintings show some of the sceneries from the Easter Rising which was the rebellion staged in Ireland against British rule on Easter Monday in April, 24. 1916. Despite its military failure, it can be judged as being a significant stepping-stone in the eventual creation of the Irish Republic.
Today it it 90 years since that rising.
