    “The Royal Irish Regiment with the Irish Republic flag at the Parnell Monument, O’Connell Street (NMI Collection)

    Probably the most famous flag of the 1916 Rising is the Irish Republic flag, with its white and orange lettering on a green field background. It was flown from the roof of the GPO on the Princes Street corner, while the tricolour flew from the Henry Street side. The flag survived the destruction of O’Connell Street, and was taken as a war souvenir by the Royal Irish Regiment. It ended up in the collection of King George of England, and was stored in the Imperial War Museum until 1966 when it was presented from the British to the Irish governments for the 50th Anniversary of the Rising. It is now in the care of the National Museum of Ireland”

    suckindeesel Thank you. So officers of the Royal Irish Regiment. Wonder if we can find names for more of them?

    [aside] I was surprised after all the photos around 1916, and after all the years of photos, that I hadn't come across this image before.

    Off topic, but I put it to you, M'Lud, that the top of O'Connell Street is at the bridge, and the Parnell Monument end is the bottom...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Carol Maddock I'm afraid you are only about 40% right!
    I think for a Northsider the top is at the bridge, whereas for a Southsider (I believe you are one?) the top is at the Ambassador.

    The building was huge, built c. 1900 according to the DIA. You can see the dome on the right in this Eason photo in the nli archive. Another angle:

    A wonderful array of hats on show, from toppers to policeman's helmets!

    The fortified tower of the Dublin Bread Company — a tearoom, cafe and meeting place popular with chess players — was used by rebels to return fire to snipers on the roof of Trinity. It was but a shell by Friday of the Rebellion, and was never reconstructed. A bank was built in its place.
