![Click on image to see full-sized version james_connolly_statue.jpg](../cache/imagecache/local/attachments/apr2011/460_0___30_0_0_0_0_0_james_connolly_statue.jpg) At noon on Easter Monday 1916, the women and men of the Irish Citizen Army and the Irish Volunteers marched out from Liberty Hall, headquarters of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union, and took command of buildings across Dublin.
They went out to declare an Irish Republic and to take on the might of the British Empire.
During Easter Week 1916, Pádraig Pearse, president of the Irish Republic and commander-in-chief of the Irish Republican Army, issued a manifesto from republican headquarters.
It provides a vivid picture of the battle that raged in Dublin during that momentous week.
In it, Pearse pays tribute to the women and men who fought so bravely in defence of the Irish Republic and foretells the enormous impact the events of that revolutionary week would have in shaping the history of Ireland.
On Good Friday next, April 22, to mark the events of that historic week, éirígí in Dublin has organised a revolutionary walking tour, which will take in all of the major sites of Easter Week 1916.
The tour and is free of charge and will be conducted by Dublin historian Bill O’Brien.
All are welcome and the tour will be free of charge.

Manifesto issued from the General Post Office, April 28 1916
Headquarters, Army of the Irish Republic,
General Post Office,
Dublin.
28th April 1916, 9.30am
“The forces of the Irish Republic, which was proclaimed in Dublin, on Easter Monday, 24 April, have been in possession of the central of the capital, since 12 noon on that day. Up to yesterday afternoon Headquarters was in touch with all of the main outlying positions, and despite furious and almost continuous assaults by the British Forces all those forces were then still being held, and the Commandants in charge, were confident of their ability to hold them for a long time.
“I desire now, lest I may not have an opportunity to pay homage to the soldiers of Irish freedom who have during the past four days have been writing with fire and steel the most glorious chapter in later Irish history….
“For four days, they have fought and toiled, almost without cessation, almost without sleep, and in the intervals of fighting, they have sung songs of the freedom of Ireland…..
“If they do not win this fight, they will at least have deserved to win it. But win it they will, although they may win it in death. Already they have won a great thing. They have redeemed Dublin from many shames, and made her name splendid among the names of Cities………”
Signed – P. H. Pearse, Commandant General, Commanding in Chief, the Army of the Irish Republic and President of the Provisional Government.
