When the Rising began, the gates of Trinity College Dublin were closed. Members of the Officer Training Corps and soldiers on leave took to the roofs to defend the College, firing on rebel positions. A temporary hospital treated wounded civilians and combatants, and some fatalities were temporarily buried in the grounds. The campus also became an assembly point for British reinforcements closing in on rebel strongholds.
The Great War was in its third year, and tens of thousands of Irish men had signed up to fight. About 470 Trinity students, staff and alumni lost their lives in the conflict.
This Easter Monday Trinity’s gates will be open to the public for a wide-ranging collection of talks and debates in English agus as Gaeilge, and exhibitions, dramatic and musical events to commemorate the Rising. There will also be performances by Trinity Singers, Trinitones, and Trinity Céilí Band.
Free but ticketed events.
