After the Guinness Brewery, perhaps the most visited Dublin tourist attraction is Kilmainham Gaol, where 14 of the 16 Irish rebels of 1916 were executed. What is not discussed much is the burial place of the fourteen rebels at Arbour Hill across the Liffey River.
On this day, May 12, in 1916, Easter Rising leaders Seán MacDiarmada and James Connolly were executed for their role in the rebellion. The 1916 Easter Rising took place over the course of five days in Dublin and forever changed the course of Irish history. Writer and historian Dermot McEvoy produced 16 profiles.
