Today marks an official 100 years since the 1916 Rising.
To commemorate, the GAA hosted a Laochra – a live event celebrating our national identity.
The Laochra presented the story of Ireland in a theatrical production that included the best elements of Irish cultural entertainment.
GAA President Aogán Ó Fearghail spoke about the event:
“This is a very special day for Cumann Lúthchleas Gael and we would urge all of our members and indeed supporters to join us at Croke Park for what should be a day to remember on the anniversary of the Rising 100 years to the day of this seismic event in Irish history”.
“It is an opportunity for the wider membership of the Association to come together to acknowledge what is a day of national significance and we are pleased to host such an event at Croke Park.”
