EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum has developed a Stay At Home Library curated especially for older Irish people abroad who are cocooning.
Featuring the best of Irish documentaries, dramas, music, podcasts, sporting highlights and more, this is an online resource curated to bring a real taste of Ireland to anyone who loves the country or the culture.
Anyone abroad who is missing Ireland should find this entertaining and useful. It is our hope that people with elderly relatives abroad will share this link with them, especially if recent times have forced them to become more internet literate than before.
The RTÉ Player, RTÉ Archives, TG4 Player and GAA Now have shared their programmes available internationally. We have also included poems from Poetry Ireland, concerts with The Ruby Sessions, the National Concert Hall and more.
Yikes.

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…
Meanwhile…
104 years ago, rebellion was simmering in Ireland …
And soon it would boil over to become the Easter Rising of 1916.
When it was all over, The Irish Times would call it:
