EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the proclamation of the Republic of Ireland on Easter Monday, April 18th, 1949. The General Post Office in O'Connell Street, a focal point of the 1916 Easter Rising, served as the saluting base for the military parade in Dublin. The President of Ireland, T. O'Kelly, and the Premier, John A. Costello, attended the ceremonies marking the anniversary of the rebellion that led to Ireland's independence. With the passage of the Republic of Ireland Act, Eire officially became a republic at midnight on Easter Sunday, April 17th, 1949. The occasion was marked by a 21-gun salute from O'Connell Bridge and the singing of the Irish National Anthem, heralding the birth of the new state. The scene is adorned with laurels and decorations, adding to the historical significance of this momentous day in Irish history.
