1916 Rising Tour with Michael D Higgins

Yesterday I attended a tour with Michael D Higgins of the historic sites around the GPO associated with 1916 Rising.  The tour was conducted by James Connolly Heron and Honour O Brolochain. I was particularly glad to be there as a relative of The O'Rahilly, the only 1916 leader to be killed in action.  Picture shows me with Michael D Higgins and Joe Costello TD at the memorial to The O'Rahilly at O'Rahilly Parade, off Moore St.  (Photo credit: Rory Geraghty).
