The exhibition examines the crucial acts of the nuns and clergy, as they responded to the immediate needs of the hungry and displaced by providing them with much needed food and shelter.
Explore the eyewitness accounts of those who ministered to the condemned leaders and to those imprisoned in England.
Read the fascinating correspondence between Archbishop Walsh and the authorities during and after the Rising and letters received from Joseph Mary Plunkett, Patrick Pearse, Fr. Laurence Stafford and many others.
The exhibiton includes audio, allowing visitors to listen to stories from witnesses to key events such as:
- Fr. Michael Curran's description of O'Connell Street immediately after the surrender.
- Sr. Augustine Haye's account of life in Dublin during the Rising as seen from the Sisters of Mercy convent, Eccles Street.
- Mabel Fitzgerald's protest against the harsh treatment meted out to prisoners and her appeal for the Archbishop's intervention.
- Extracts from the annals of the Loreto Sisters at St. Stephen's Green and Rathfarnham Abbey.
- An account of the visit to Patrick Pearse in Arbour Hill Prison by Fr. Columbus, OFM Cap.
The interactive touchscreen shows never before seen documents from various religious archives, all relating to the Rising.
The exhibiton will be open to the public on Saturday 25th September from 1.30pm - 5.30pm daily.

Déantar imscrúdú sa taispeántas seo ar na héachtaí móra a rinne na mná rialta agus an chléireach, agus iad ag freastal ar an bpointe boise ar riachtanais na ndaoine a raibh ocras orthu agus a bhí díláithrithe trí bhia agus thearmann a thabhairt dóibh, rudaí a bhí ag teastáil go géar uathu.
Déan iniúchadh ar chuntais finné súl na ndaoine siúd a thug na sacraimintí do na ceannairí a daoradh chun báis agus dóibh sin a cuireadh i bpríosún i Sasana.
Léigh an comhfhreagras thar a bheith spéisiúil idir an tArd-Easpag Walsh agus na húdaráis i rith an Éirí Amach agus ina dhiaidh sin agus na litreacha a fuarthas ó Joseph Mary Plunkett, ó Phádraig Mac Piarais, ón Ath. Laurence Stafford agus go leor leor eile.
Tá fuaim ag gabháil leis an taispeántas, rud a thabharfaidh deis do chuairteoirí éisteacht le scéalta ó fhinnéithe maidir le himeachtaí tábhachtacha cosúil le:
- An tuairisc a thug an tAth. Michael Curran ar Shráid Uí Chonaill díreach i ndiaidh do na ceannairí géilleadh.
- Cuntas na Siúrach Augustine Haye ar an saol i mBaile Átha Cliath i rith an Éirí Amach mar a bhí sé le feiceáil ó chlochar Shiúracha na Trócaire, ar Shráid Eccles.
- Agóid Mabel Fitzgerald mar gheall ar an drochbhail a bhí á chur ar phríosúnaigh agus an impí a rinne sí ar an Ard-Easpag rud éigin a dhéanamh faoi.
- Sleachta ó annála Shiúracha Loreto ag Faiche Stiabhna agus Mainistir Ráth Fearnáin.
- Cuntas ar an gcuairt a thug an tAth. Columbus, Ord na mBráthar Mionúr, Capuchin ar Phádraig Mac Piarais i bPríosún Chnoc an Earbair.
