A look at the devastation and destruction in Dublin city centre in the days following the Easter Rising of 1916.
The devastation following the Rising of Easter Week 1916 was visible on the streets of Dublin with much of the city in ruins. Presented here are photographs from key locations around Dublin city centre which show the damage caused to buildings as a result of the rebellion. Many of these photographs show the devastation on Sackville Street (now O'Connell Street) where much of the fighting took place.
These photographs are taken from the Shard, Cashman and Murtagh photographic collections acquired by and held at RTÉ Archives.
