Family presents portion of 1916 Jacob's factory tri-colour to Glasnevin Museum

A portion of the tri-colour, which was flown at Jacob's Factory in Dublin during the Easter Rising, has been presented by a Jersey family to Glasnevin Museum.

The pieces of the flag were given to the museum by the grandson of a member of the Jacob's Garrison in 1916, who only recently realised their historical significance after reading about the flag in his local paper.
