Ahern in peace vow at Easter Rising ceremony

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today pledged to continue to work for peace and reconciliation in Ireland as wreaths were laid in Dublin’s Kilmainham Gaol in honour of the 1916 Easter Rising revolutionaries.

In the first of a series of State ceremonies marking the 90th anniversary of the rebellion at a private service in the jail, Mr Ahern urged people to strive for a new future.
