Sir, – Like your correspondent Noel McAllister from Fingal, (Letters, November 27th) we in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown are also planning our own events to mark the centenary of the 1916 Rising.
Similarly we find ourselves in a limbo on deciding on dates which do not clash with the national commemorations which remain to be clarified.
Nevertheless we are pressing ahead. For our exhibition we appeal to the public to loan us any relevant artefacts they might possess and indeed provide any facts on our area’s many connections with the 1916 Rising.
We will then attempt to present this information not only through the public exhibition but also in publication format. All items loaned to us will be maintained to the highest museum standards and returned with gratitude following a successful conclusion. – Yours, etc, ROGER COLE, 1916 Rising Committee, 3 Eblana Avenue, Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
