For the day that’s in it.

The tale of Margaret Kehoe, fatally injured on April 24th, 1916, while helping the wounded during that day’s rising effort.

Jane Lawrenson writes:

The video was produced by bigOmedia for the Ireland2016 team. It was directed by Kate Dolan and had an almost all female creative team working on it. It was made for International Women’s Day and for the launch of the 1916 Women’s programme.

Olga Wehry [1916] and Amy DeBhrún [2016] are the featuring actors. The video focuses on the differences and similarities between two women 100 years apart. It honours the women of 1916 while celebrating the women who are creating the Ireland of tomorrow.

How they wrapped the 1916 Tour double decker.

Ian Duffy writes:

The amount of hard work and dedication that goes into designing and wrapping a bus is staggering. The people at Freeney’s Graphic’s spent countless hours working on this new 1916 Dublin Bus that’s now on the streets, and their attention to detail was amazing…

*swoon*

“The clip, above, features footage of Margaret Morrissey, a Dublin resident, talking about seeing her father being buried in a mass grave at Glasnevin following the Easter Rising.

1916 on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.

Gareth Naughton writes:

“Narrated by Liam Neeson, 1916 places the Irish Rising in its European and global contexts as anti-colonialism found its voice in the wake of the First World War. It explores the crucial role of the United States and of Irish America in both the lead up to and the aftermath of the events.”
