Community Participation
Dublin City Council supported hundreds of community groups and organisations in the City in commemorating the 1916 Rising through a €150,000 grants fund.
Aisling: Dreaming Again
From 25th March–8th May 2016, an integrated arts-heritage, celebratory and commemorative programme took place in the north Liberties area, around Sean Heuston’s Mendicity Institution garrison. Initiated by the relatives of the combatants at ‘Heuston’s Fort’, this cultural event involved poets, storytellers, musicians, dancers and visual artists alongside the people of the area, local historians, schools and creative institutions. It was supported by Dublin City Council.
