This app enhanced by the music, songs and poetry of some of Ireland’s composers and artists, will take you on a narrated, guided tour of twelve main Rebel Outposts in Dublin where the insurgents of Easter week, 1916 held out against the superior forces of the British Empire.  
Scripted by the late Tomás Mac Anna (former Abbey Theatre Director) the tour is narrated by well-known veteran broadcaster, Donncha Ó Dúlaing. It starts in Liberty Hall and ends in The Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square.
The app contains a slideshow of over 100 contemporary and vintage photographs to put each 1916 outpost in context.
