Attended UCD again this morning (3 June 2011) for the launch by Ruairi Quinn TD Minister for Education and Skills of the re-located Harry Clarke Studio's stained glass window commemorating Kevin Barry.
The window was originally launched on the 24th anniversary of Kevin Barry's execution, 1 November 1934 by Richard "Mac" O'Rahilly, my 1st cousin twice removed. Mac O'Rahilly married Kevin Barry's sister the following year - she had been on hunger strike with my grandfather's sister.
The picture shows Michael O'Rahilly, son of Mac O'Rahilly and grandson of the 1916 Leader The O'Rahilly, with Minister Quinn and myself. Photo credit: Deirdre Grant.
