Cashel Library, Co. Tipperary will host a special commemorative lecture marking the 110th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising on Tuesday, 28th April 2026 at 7:00pm sharp.
This event will honour the vital yet often overlooked contributions of women to Ireland’s struggle for independence. During the Easter Rising, women played a central role across a wide range of activities, including combat, intelligence gathering, medical support, and communications, many as members of organisations such as Cumann na mBan and the Irish Citizen Army.
Despite their significant involvement, their contributions have historically received limited recognition.
The lecture will be delivered by Ms. Maura Barrett, Cashel Librarian, and will focus particularly on women with connections to Cashel and the wider Tipperary region.
