1916 centenary: Rising commemorations continue with state ceremonial event in Cork

The 1916 Easter Rising commemorations will continue today around the country, including a state ceremonial event in Cork City — the only such event in Munster.

The public are asked to assemble on Grand Parade, in the city centre, at 11.45am, with the programme of events to get underway at noon.

Live music will feature performances by the Defence Forces Band, Peadar Ó Riada, Cór Chúil Aodha, and Eimear Coughlan on harp.
