My wife and I are staying in Dublin this Saturday ....we will have a late check out on Sunday ....and then attend this years 1916 ceremony. Will anyone else be going.

Found some fascinating footage of past 1916 anniversaries ....special Nationwide 1916 Anniversary story from RTE ....looking back at the Commemorations and events on 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising in 1966 ...including footage that had never been seen before.
