éirígí marks 93rd Anniversary of 1916 Rising

éirígí activists yesterday marked the 93rd anniversary of the 1916 Rising with a series of banner drops and the erections of dozens of posters.

On the morning of April 24th 1916 the Easter Rising began with proclamation of the Irish Republic and the seizing of key buildings and other vantage points across Dublin. Yesterday éirígí activists across Dublin marked the 93rd anniversary of that day. In a dozen locatoins From Ballymun to Sallynoggin and from Tallaght to Finglas banners and large placards were put in place. In dozens of other locations posters of James Connolly and Padraig Pearse were displayed.

Over the course of the last two weeks hundreds of copies of the 1916 Proclamation and the 1919 Democratic Programme were also distributed on a not-for-profit basis accross the city. All of these activities are part of the ongoing 'Reclaim the Republic' campaign that éirígí has been running for the last three years during which 80,000 copies of the 1916 Proclamation have been distributed.

Below are some images from yesterday.
