WE’RE COMING TO the end of a three-day celebration of all things 1916.
Here’s a selection of the fun and celebration that’s been going on in Dublin and around Ireland on Easter Monday.
The GPO, as it has all weekend, was looking well…
There was lots of dressing up going on
Everyone seemed to be very well-behaved at a commemoration in Athenry, Galway
In fact, things seemed to be sunny all the way in the west
The Rebel County wasn’t shy on getting in on the act
Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan, looked like something from 100 years ago, which was appropriate given the day that was in it
Smithfield Square in Dublin took a step back in time as part of RTÉ’s Reflecting the Rising
It may have been a bit chilly, but the sun was definitely out…
The gardaí were in terrific form all day long
All ages were involved, this duck ceremony in St Stephen’s Green was in remembrance of the children who died during the Rising
The cuteness factor was dialled up to 11…
RTÉ had really pulled out all the stops
A poignant wish left on the Reflecting the Rising Wishing Tree in Dublin
The Céilí Mór on Earlsfort Terrace in Dublin had people jumping
And there were vintage buses…
Really, everyone just seemed to have a whale of a time. Roll on the next centenary
