  5. Higgins: 1916 helped us gain independence

    The Irish President has discussed the impact of the Easter Rising 100 years ago in a wide-ranging interview with the BBC's Nick Robinson.

    Irish President Michael D Higgins lays a wreath at Kilmanham Gaol

    "I do think that without 1916, and the events that surrounded it, we would not have achieved our independence," Michael D Higgins says.

    "Which is not to say that I haven't the greatest respect for of what had been achieved for Irish people in the parliamentary tradition, which was often brilliant. But it seemed it had run out."

  6. General Post Office: Rising headquarters was designed by Armagh man

    The General Post Office (GPO) has a central role in today's parade because it was the nerve centre of the Rising itself, used as the rebellion's headquarters - but it was originally conceived by an Ulsterman.

    Armagh architect Francis Johnston designed the building in 1818. It was almost completely destroyed in the Rising and subsequent Civil War but was rebuilt in the 1920s.
