1 The 1916 Rising

2 100 years ago (in 1916), Ireland used to be controlled by England. At that time, many people in Ireland were very proud of being Irish. They played GAA and tried to speak more Irish.

3 At Easter 1916 some Irish people decided to have a ‘Rising’. This was a rebellion where about 1,000 Irish Volunteers fought against the English, who were in charge of Ireland at that time. They wanted Ireland to be free from English rule.

4 Most of the fighting happened in Dublin city. On Easter Monday 1916 Padraig Pearse read out the Proclamation of the Irish Republic in front of the GPO (General Post Office)

6 The fighting continued for 1 week. The following Saturday, the Irish rebels realised that they could not fight any more against the English. A nurse called Elizabeth O’ Farrell carried the surrender order, and all the fighting was stopped.

7 About 434 Irish and English people were killed during the fighting of Easter Week. Many of those killed and wounded were actually ordinary people, caught up in the fighting. Many parts of Dublin city were destroyed, including Sackville Street (now O’ Connell street), and the GPO.

13 People were very annoyed with the Irish rebels after the Rising was over. They blamed them for all the damage done to Dublin city, and for all the people killed and wounded.

14 However, soon after the end of the Rising, the British began to execute (by firing squad) 15 of the leaders of the Rising. After that, people in Ireland began to feel very sorry for them, and they began to see them as heroes, who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their country.
