On this day 104 years ago, the Easter Rising began. At 12:45pm, PH Pearse read out the Proclamation of the Irish Republic from the steps of the GPO
Old Ireland In Colour has colourised, enhanced and restored photographs of the seven proclamation signatories – Thomas J. Clarke, Seán Mac Diarmada, Thomas MacDonagh, P. H. Pearse, Éamonn Ceannt, James Connolly and Joseph Plunkett – for today…

When it was all over, The Irish Times would call it:

Larkin moved to the US after the lockout so wasnt really involved in the IRB
