Wreaths will be laid on Boland’s Mill, the Jacob’s Factory on Bishop Street, City Hall, The Four Courts, The Royal College of Surgeons, Moore Street and the South Dublin Union on the site of the present-day St James’ Hospital. One hundred years ago, rebels took up positions at all these locations due to their strategic significance.
There will also be similar wreath-layings in Athenry, Cork, Enniscorthy and Ashbourne.
Over 500 1916-related events will take place througout the day today.
