1916: Rebellion, War and Commemoration in Ireland and beyond

3rd March 2016 'Life and crime in the city before the Rising' Pádraig Yeates, SIPTU

Using recently discovered records from the Dublin Metropolitan Police that cover the period before the Rising, Yeates will look at how the police coped with crime and disorder in the city before the outbreak of the Easter Rising. This should be a fascinating talk outlining brand new research on the lives of ordinary men and women, and the police authorities, in the decade before the Rising..
