Key Sites & Stories:

1. Liberty Hall & the 1913 Lockout
Where it all began. Learn how workers, led by James Larkin and James Connolly, brought Dublin to a standstill—and why the seeds of revolution were economic before they were political.
2. General Post Office (GPO) & the 1916 Rising
We’ll stand at the GPO, read the Proclamation aloud if you like, and unpack the seven-day rebellion that changed everything. Who really supported it? What was the plan? And what was the myth that followed?
3. Moore Street & The Final Stand
Walk the laneways of the rebels’ last stand. See where they crawled, bled, and surrendered—and how the area today mirrors the messy legacy of what they fought for.
4. Dublin Castle & British Rule
Understand how British power operated in Ireland—not just through soldiers, but through courts, records, surveillance, and secrets. We’ll talk about collaborators, civil servants, and the complexity of control.
5. City Hall & the Role of Women
A stop to remember the forgotten figures: the women of Cumann na mBan, the nurses, couriers, and snipers who shaped the revolution but were pushed to the margins after.
6. Four Courts & the Civil War
Learn how former comrades turned enemies in 1922, and why the first shots of the Civil War were fired here. Explore the legacy of this war without winners, and how its shadows still linger in Irish politics today.

Thoughtful travellers who want to understand—not just see—Dublin’s revolutionary story. You don’t need a degree in Irish history, just an open mind and a few good questions.
