Ag tráth Éirí Amach 1916, cheap go leor daoine go raibh an daonra sa cheantar atá cumhdaithe anois ag Dún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin ar son na hAontachta. Agus bhí go leor fianaise leis sin. Tugadh Kingstown ar phríomhbhaile an cheantair, a bhí ainmnithe in onóir na cuairte a thug an Rí Seoirse IV air go luath sa naoú haois déag, agus liostáil na mílte duine ón gceantar seo i bhfórsaí na Breataine i rith an Chogaidh Mhóir. Nuair a bhain trúpaí na Breataine an áit amach ar a dtugtar anois calafort Dhún Laoghaire, bhailigh daoine thart chun misneach a thabhairt dóibh.

Gabhann taobh eile leis an scéal, áfach. D’imir na daoine a chónaigh sa cheantar, nó a raibh baint acu leis an gceantar atá cumhdaithe anois ag Dún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin ról tábhachtach in Éirí Amach 1916.

Ghlac breis agus aon chéad agus seachtó duine ón gceantar seo páirt san Éirí Amach. Ba líon suntasach é seo as an iomlán foriomlán. Bhí aithne mhaith ar chuid de na daoine seo. Ina measc, bhí Sir Roger Casement, a rugadh i gCuas an Ghainimh, a gabhadh ar Thrá na Beannaí an 21 Aibreán fad a rinneadh iarracht chun airm Ghearmánacha a thabhairt i dtír chun tacú leis an Éirí Amach, agus an Maor John MacBride, a d’fhág a theach i nGlas Tuathail Luan Cásca chun casadh lena dheartháir ag an traein, ach ansin a ghlac páirt san Éirí Amach. Cuireadh Casement agus MacBride chun báis mar gheall ar a ngníomhartha agus maraíodh Patrick Doyle sa troid i dTeach Chlann Liam. Tá a scéalta féin ag breis agus 160 duine eile ón gCarraig Dhubh, Stigh Lorgan, Deilginis, Baile na Manach, Cill Tiarnáin, Cill Iníon Léinín, Baile na nGabhar, Dún Laoghaire, Cluain Sceach, Cnoc Mhuirfean, Cábán tSíle, Áth an Ghainimh, Baile an Teampaill, Gráinseach an Déin, Baile an Bhóthair, Carraig an tSionnaigh, Carraig Mhaighin agus Gleann Cuilinn. Tagann ár gclár faoi chuimsiú na gcatagóirí comórtha agus stairiúla, go príomha. Mar gheall go bhfuil an ceantar chomh gar sin do na himeachtaí agus na gníomhaíochtaí a bheidh ag titim amach i Lár Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath, díríonn an chuid is mó dár n-imeachtaí ar na ceangail áitiúla le hÉirí Amach 1916.

Ar ndóigh, déanfaidh muid na himeachtaí a éascú agus a spreagadh ar fud snáitheanna an chláir i gcaitheamh na mbliana, agus tabharfaidh muid tacaíocht ghníomhach don Chlár Comórtha Céad Bliain náisiúnta.

Beidh go leor d’iarrachtaí na Comhairle dírithe ar Reilig Ghráinseach an Déin. Tá os cionn 120 duine a bhaineann leis an Éirí Amach curtha sa reilig seo. Go dtí seo, tá go leor d’uaigheanna an tuairim is 50 sibhialtach a maraíodh san Éirí Amach, ar tugadh iad chuig an reilig mar ‘íospartaigh an chogaidh’, gan mharcáil. Tá seo á chur ina cheart ag foireann na reilige. Anuas air sin, beidh Taispeántas 1916 de chuid DL-RD ar siúl, coimisiúnófar saothar comórtha ealaíne, beidh turais threoraithe ar siúl, beidh imeacht tábhachtach stáit ar bun i rith 2016 agus foilseofar leabhar ar an Reilig agus ar Éirí Amach na Cásca.

Cuireann na himeachtaí pobail go mór le héagsúlacht na bliana agus léiríonn siad tuiscint shamhlaíoch agus dhomhain araon ar an Éirí Amach, agus ar an bpáirt a ghlac muintir an cheantair seo san imeacht ríthábhachtach seo i stair na hÉireann. Creidimid go bhfuil snáitheanna an-tréana amharclannaíochta agus ceolmhara fud fad ár gcláir.

Spreagaimid gach duine ní hamháin chun páirt a ghlacadh sna príomhimeachtaí náisiúnta, a bhfuil an t-ádh dearg orainn bheith chomh gar dóibh, ach chun na scéalta faoi Éirí Amach na Cásca atá ar leac an dorais a fhoghlaim agus a cheiliúradh.

Foreword Brollach

At the time of the 1916 Rising the area now covered by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown had a population that in the popular mind was pro-Unionist. And there was much to substantiate that. The main town of the area was Kingstown, named in honour of a visit of George IV in the early nineteenth century while during the Great War thousands of people from this area enlisted in the British forces. When British troops arrived at what is now Dún Laoghaire harbour, people came to cheer them.

However, there is another side to the story. The people who lived in, or were associated with, the area that is now covered by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown played a significant in the 1916 Rising.

More than one hundred and seventy people from this area took part in the Rising, a significant number out of the overall total. Some of these are well known. Among them are Sir Roger Casement, born in Sandycove, who was captured at Banna Strand on 21 April during an attempt to land German weapons to support the Rising, Major John MacBride who left his house in Glasthule on Easter Monday to meet his brother off the train in Dublin, but who joined the Rising. Both (Casement and MacBride were executed for their actions) and Patrick Doyle killed in the fighting in Clanwilliam House. The more than 160 others from Blackrock, Dundrum, Stillorgan, Dalkey, Monkstown, Kilternan, Killiney, Goatstown, Dún Laoghaire, Clonskeagh, Mount Merrion, Cabinteely, Sandyford, Churchtown, Deansgrange, Booterstown, Foxrock, Carrickmines and Glencullen also have their stories.

Our programme is one that generally falls into the commemorative and historical categories. Being so close to the events and activities taking place in Dublin City Centre most of our events focus on the local connections with the 1916 Rising.

We will of course facilitate and encourage the events across all programme strands as the year progresses, and we will actively support the national Centenary Programme.

Deansgrange Cemetery will be the focus of much of the Council’s efforts. Over 120 people associated with the Rising are buried within its grounds. To date many of the graves of the 50 or so civilians killed in the Rising, brought to the cemetery as ‘victims of war’, have been unmarked. This is being rectified by the cemetery staff. There will also be a DLR 1916 Exhibition, the commissioning of a commemorative piece of art, guided tours, a significant state event during 2016 and the publication of a book on the Cemetery and the Easter Rising.

The community events provide great texture to the year and show both an imaginative and an in-depth understanding of the Rising and the role that the people of this area played in this seminal event in Irish history. We believe we have particularly strong theatrical and musical strands running through our programme.

We encourage everyone to not only partake in the main national events which we are very fortunate to be in close proximity to, but to also to learn about and celebrate the stories of the Easter Rising that are on our doorstep.

Roger Casement, a lecture

by Angus Mitchell

Roger Casement was born in Doyle’s Cottage, Lawson Terrace, Sandycove in 1864. Casement worked for the British consular service. His reports into human rights abuses by the Belgian government in the Congo earned him the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George in 1905. He was later knighted for his report on the abuse of rubber industry workers in Peru. However, by the time he left the consular service he had become disillusioned with the activities of the British Empire. During World War One he fostered relations with Germany and on Good Friday 1916 was arrested at Banna Strand, County Kerry after landing from a German submarine. He was executed for High Treason on 3 August, 1916. Angus Mitchell edited and annotated The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement.

Rugadh Roger Casement i dTeachín Uí Dhubhghaill, Ardán Lawson, Cuas an Ghainimh in 1864. D’oibrigh Casement do sheirbhís chonsalachta na Breataine. Bhain sé Ord Naomh Mícheál agus Naomh Seoirse amach mar gheall ar a thuairiscí ar threascairt ar chearta an duine ag rialtas na Beilge sa Chongó i 1905. Bronnadh ridireacht air, ina dhiaidh sin, as a thuairisc ar mhí-úsáid a bhaint as oibrithe i dtionscal an rubair i bPeiriú. Faoin tráth a d’fhág sé an tseirbhís chonsalachta, áfach, b’ábhar díomá dó gníomhaíochtaí Impireacht na Breataine. I rith an Chéad Chogaidh Domhanda, chothaigh sé caidreamh leis an nGearmáin agus gabhadh é Aoine an Chéasta 1916 ag Trá na Beannaí, Contae Chiarraí i ndiaidh dó teacht i dtír ó fhomhuireán Gearmánach. Cuireadh chun báis é mar gheall ar Ardtréas an 3 Lúnasa, 1916. Rinne Angus Mitchell The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement a chur in eagar agus a anótáil. Bhí a shaothar le sonrú in irisí éagsúla idirnáisiúnta, acadúla agus príomhshrutha. Eagraithe ag Coiste Éirí Amach 1916 DL-RD i gcomhar le Comhairle Contae DL-RD.

Major John MacBride, a

lecture by Donal Fallon

On Easter Monday morning Major John MacBride left his home at Spencer Villas, Glasthule, to meet his brother off the train in Dublin–he was to be the best man at his wedding. However, when this former soldier of the Boer War saw that a Rising was about to start he joined the Volunteers. Although he did not play a key role in the Rising he was executed in Kilmainham Jail. Donal Fallon is an historian and a guide with Historical Walking Tours of Dublin and one of the founder of the award-winning blog on Dublin life and culture, ‘Come Here to Me’.Organised by Coiste Éirí Amach 1916 DLR in conjunction with DLR County Council.

Major John MacBride, léacht le Dónal Fallon

Maidin Luan Cásca, d’fhág an Maor John MacBride a theach ag Bailtíní Spencer, Glas Tuathail, chun casadh lena dheartháir ag an traein i mBaile Átha Cliath–ba ghearr go mbeadh sé mar fhinné fir ag a bhainis. Nuair a thug an t-iarshaighdiúir seo de Chogadh na mBórach faoi deara go raibh Éirí Amach ar tí tosú, chuaigh sé leis na hÓglaigh. Cé nach raibh páirt aige san Éirí Amach, cuireadh chun báis i bPríosún Chill Mhaighneann é.

‘Pull Down a Horseman’,

a play by Eugene McCabe

Pull Down a Horseman depicts a secret meeting between Pearse and Connolly as to whether and when to go ahead with the Rising. The dramatic conflict comes out of their expression of their differing political philosophies and perspectives. The incident described, which is believed to have taken place in a cottage in South county Dublin in the early Spring, 1916, has a basis in historical research. The play was written in 1966 to commemorate the Rising’s 50th Anniversary and first presented by the Abbey theatre. Eugene McCabe is one of Ireland’s leading playwrights.

‘Pull Down a Horseman’,

Léirítear in Pull Down a Horseman, cruinniú rúnda idir an Piarsach agus an Conghaileach maidir le cibé acu chun leanúint ar aghaidh nó gan leanúint ar aghaidh leis an Éirí Amach. Eascraíonn an choimhlint dhrámatúil nuair a léiríonn siad a bhfealsúnachtaí agus dearcthaí polaitiúla éagsúla. Ábhar taighde stairiúil is ea an eachtra ar a ndéantar cur síos, a chreidtear a tharla i dteachín i mBaile Átha Cliath theas go luath in Earrach 1916. Scríobhadh an dráma i 1966 chun Comóradh 50 Bliain an Éirí Amach a cheiliúradh agus léiríodh den chéad uair é in Amharclann na Mainistreach. Tá Eugene McCabe ar dhuine de na drámadóirí is mó le rá in Éirinn. Ionad Pobail Bhaile an Bhóthair, Bóthar na Carraige, trasna ó Riasc na nÉan ag Ascaill an Fhochla.

Madame de Markievicz on Trial

A play by Ann Matthews, directed by Anthony Fox. Madame de Markievicz on Trial is a drama centred around Constance Markievicz depicting an event in Dublin at Easter in 1916 when a policeman was fatally shot. It is set in a courtroom and a prison cell during the autumn of 1917 and the dialogue is largely based on the extensive speeches made by Markievicz during this time. The testimonies of the witnesses are interwoven to show that Madam was a normal multi-dimensional woman in contrast to the usual one-dimensional icon frequently presented. The audience will be the ultimate judge, as they leave the theatre to decide to issue an ‘innocent’ or ‘guilty’ verdict.For further information see www.paviliontheatre.ie

Tá sé bunaithe i seomra cúirte agus i gcillín príosúin i rith fhómhar na bliana 1917 agus tá an dialóg bunaithe go príomha ar na hóráidí fairsinge a rinne Markievicz le linn na tréimhse seo. Tá teistiméireachtaí na bhfinnéithe fite fuaite lena thaispeáint gur ghnáthbhean iltoiseach í Markievicz i gcodarsnacht leis an ngnáthíocón aontoiseach a léirítear go minic.

‘Good Evening Mr Collins’

by Tom McIntyre

In 1916 Michael Collins was Adjutant to Joseph Plunkett and was sent to prison in Frangoch. He was twenty six years old. ‘Good Evening Mr Collins’ is a light-hearted yet truthful look at the life of a young man who lived in very dark times. Through music, comedy, drama and movement, it traces his adventures over the six years from 1916 to his death at Beal na mBlath in 1922.‘Good Evening Mr Collins’ will involve over 30 actors, musicians and theatre makers. The aim is to reimagine and present a youthful picture of the men of the Easter Rising, remembering how young and free many of them were at the start of the rebellion and looking at the consequences of their decisions on our country, one hundred year later. For more information see www.milltheatre.ie.Organised by Mill Productions in conjunction with DLR County Council.

‘Good Evening Mr Collins’ le Tom McIntyre

I 1916, bhí Mícheál Ó Coileán ina Aidiúnach le Joseph Plunkett agus cuireadh chun príosúin é in Frangoch. Bhí sé fiche a sé bliain d’aois. Léiriú sona ach fírinneach é ‘Good Evening Mr Collins’ de shaol fir óig a chónaigh i dtráth an-doicheallach. Rianaítear a chuid eachtraí i gcaitheamh na sé bliana ó 1916 go dtí go bhfuair sé bás ag Béal na mBláth i 1922 tríd an gceol, an greann agus gluaiseacht.Beidh os cionn 30 aisteoir, ceoltóir agus déantóir téatair bainteach i ‘Good Evening Mr Collins’. Is é an cuspóir íomhá óg a léiriú d’fhir Éirí Amach na Cásca, agus cuimhneamh ar a óige agus a shaoire a bhí go leor díobh ag tús an éirí amach agus súil a chaitheamh ar an tionchar a d’imir iarmhairtí a gcinntí ar ár dtír, céad bliain ina dhiaidh sin.
