Liveline 1917 at Crinniú na Cásca

Hello, good afternoon and you’re very welcome to Easter Monday 1917.

After last year’s Sackville Street Special, Liveline is going back a century once again.

The phone boxes are full; the lines are jammed; and the people of 1917 Ireland are waiting to Talk to Joe. But what’s on their minds?

• One year on from the Easter Rising, a young lad has climbed up the GPO and raised a tricolor on its roof.
• We hear from Sackville Street, where police are struggling to cut it down.
• A riot is breaking out across Dublin’s north inner city.
• Children are dying from poisoned milk.
• Morality police are prowling the streets.
• The U boat campaign is cutting off supplies to Ireland. Food prices soar, soup kitchens are opened, and the people are told to eat less meat.

All that and much more – including vintage ads, descendants’ stories and the music of 1917.

Monday 17th April 2017, 13:30 – 15:00, Custom House Quay
