Walk 1916: Women of the Rising

At each site you will see a historical image from a local Dublin library, archive and/or museum, along with text and audio narrative about the significance of the site and the important contributions women made to the Easter Rising. This app gives you the best of both worlds: access to historical artefacts with simultaneously accessing historical sites, in whatever order you choose, providing an exciting way to experiencing Irish history.
