Pearse Stature Fundraiser - Pearse Commemoration Commitee 🍀

Join us for an afternoon of lectures, music, history and Pearse memorabilia on display throughout the The Pearse Centre.

4pm Sunday April 27th

‍The Patrick Pearse Commemorative Association is an organisation established with the goal of raising funds to erect a statue of Patrick Pearse outside the GPO on O'Connell Street, where he read out the Proclamation of Independence and where he and the other leaders of the 1916 Rising fought and ultimately gave their lives for the cause of an Irish Republic. In addition to the revolution for which he gave his life, Pearse was also a fervent education reformer and a devoted Irish language activist. But despite his status as a father of the nation, Pearse has gone overlooked in recent years, as Dublin city centre contains no statues of him, and for many Irish people today, he is slipping past memory to oblivion. We hope to bring him back into the public eye, for without him, we would not have the republican tradition of freedom and democracy which we enjoy today. "
