After the 1916 Rising many Irish Volunteers were interned in Frongoch in Wales or imprisoned in various prisons across England. These ‘universities of revolution’ gave men the opportunity to train together and learn military tactics. When the War of Independence began, the Volunteers used their knowledge to train as the IRA, and re-armed themselves however they could.
The National Museum of Ireland is delighted to launch its latest programme of guided tours, workshops and resources for primary and post primary schools for the spring term.
Public entry and exit will be through the Museum shop entrance only. The Rotunda will reopen on Thursday, January 30th.
Thank you for your understanding!
