The Girls and Teachers of St. Joseph's Secondary School, Lucan, created a beautiful and unique plaque to honour the women of 1916 

On Thursday 14 April Mícheál Ó Doibhilín gave a talk on the days in Kilmainham Gaol in 1916 from the surrender to the executions in St. Joseph's School, Lucan.

This was part of an excellent programme put on by the school to commemorate the Easter Rising of 1916, with a special emphasis on the female participants.

There were several talks on the night on subjects as varied as Mollie O'Reilly, The Maynooth 15, and Kilmainham Gaol, interspersed with Irish dancing, some music and some songs.

Historian and author Liz Gillis unveiled an incredible plaque in honour of the women who were arrested in the aftermath of the rebellion.

All in all, this was one of the better events we have attended and all agreed the night was a resounding success with about 250 in attendance. 

Photos from the unveiling of the plaque are below.
