Dublin’s O’ Connell Street to be pedestrianised for Easter Rising commemorations

Dublin’s O’Connell Street will take a step back 100 years on Easter Monday as part of RTE’s ’Road to the Rising’ commemorations.

It sees the start of a series of events that mark the year that led to the 1916 Rising.

The initiative has been created in partnership with An Post, Dublin City Council and the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht with support Century Ireland, the Abbey Theatre, the National Library, Transport for Ireland and the local business sector.
