Dublin city councillors are backing a proposal to recover the remains of The Invincibles from Kilmainham Jail.
The five men - Joseph Brady, Daniel Curley, Michael Fagan, Thomas Caffrey and Tim Kelly - were hanged in 1883 for their part in the Phoenix Park assassinations.
The newly installed Chief Secretary of Ireland Lord Frederick Cavendish and Permanent Under Secretary Thomas Henry Burke were attacked and stabbed to death as they walked in the park.
The Irish National Invincible - an IRB splinter group - were behind the attack.

Cutting-edge forensic science is solving many long-term missing persons cases but, at the end of 2020, there are many unidentified bodies still lying in graveyards across Ireland, writes Barry Cummins.
For the first time ever, a list of unidentified bodies, where DNA is on file with Irish authorities or where gardaí are aware bodies exist, is being released publicly.
Such lists are subject to change at any time. At any moment a case might be solved or another body might be found. However, at the end of December 2020, and following extensive research by RTÉ, a list is being made public today (as part of this article) which detail 16 unidentified bodies where DNA is on file, and two other cases where exhumations should take place so DNA samples can be obtained.
