Tipperary talk to honour the women of 1916 on the 110th anniversary of the Easter Rising
The talk will be held at 7pm on Tuesday, 28 April 2026, offering an opportunity for the local community to explore the stories of women who played vital roles during one of the most significant events in Irish history.
A special event marking the 110th anniversary of the Easter Rising will take place in Cashel Library later this month, shining a light on the often-overlooked role of women in Ireland’s fight for independence.
The talk will be held at 7pm on Tuesday, 28 April 2026, offering an opportunity for the local community to explore the stories of women who played vital roles during one of the most significant events in Irish history.
While the Easter Rising is widely remembered, the contributions of women have frequently been sidelined.
Members of organisations such as Cumann na mBan and the Irish Citizen Army were deeply involved, taking many responsibilities during the fight.
This engaging talk will be delivered by local librarian Maura Barrett, who will focus in particular on women with connections to Cashel and the wider Tipperary area.
The event promises to be both informative and reflective, offering attendees a chance to gain a deeper understanding of the pivotal yet often underrepresented role women played in shaping Ireland’s path to independence.
