The route

Sé stad, dhá scíth shuite.

Pacing depends on your guide and the questions your group asks — but every Rebel Mile walk visits all six, in order.

  1. 0:00 · The GPO, south columns

    Where Pearse read the Proclamation, twice.

    We meet under the south columns of the GPO, beneath the bullet-pocked granite that has not been repaired since 1916. Forty minutes on the morning of 24 April, on Pearse's two readings of the Proclamation, on the men and women of the garrison, and on what the British army shelled the building with from a gunboat in the river.

  2. 0:45 · O'Connell Street, west side

    The street that burned.

    We walk slowly down the west side of the street — past the O'Connell Monument, the spot of Henry Street's barricades, the rebuilt façade of Eason's. Twenty minutes on the firefight of 28 April, on the surrender, and on what was rebuilt where. A short stop at the Spire on the spot of Nelson's Pillar.

  3. 1:15 · The Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square

    The garden of the children of Lir.

    Up Parnell Street to the sunken cross-shaped pool of the Garden of Remembrance, dedicated in 1966 to those who gave their lives for Irish freedom. Twenty-five minutes here, with the bronze swans of the Children of Lir behind. Our first sit-down on the granite benches at the head of the cross.

  4. 1:50 · The Four Courts, north quay

    Where the Civil War began.

    Across the river by O'Donovan Rossa Bridge, a stop at the south corner of the Four Courts. Twenty minutes on 28 June 1922 — the morning the Free State opened fire on the anti-Treaty IRA inside the Four Courts, the explosion that took the Public Records Office and a thousand years of Irish parchment with it, and the smoke seen from College Green.

  5. 2:20 · Liberty Hall & the river

    Connolly's union, Connolly's army.

    Back along the south quay to Liberty Hall — the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union headquarters of James Connolly, the rebuilt sixteen-storey brutalist tower of 1965, the wreath laid for the 1913 Lockout. A coffee stop in the small concourse café (we don't take you in for the building; we take you in for the coffee).

  6. 2:45 · The Custom House, Custom House Quay

    Gandon's masterpiece, burned twice.

    The closing stop at the Custom House gardens. Fifteen minutes on James Gandon's eighteenth-century building, on its burning by the IRA in May 1921, and on the Civil War shelling that finished the job. The bronze Famine Memorial figures on the riverside path are our final reading. Open Q&A and a recommendation for which museum to book tomorrow.
