Memories of my Grannie as a child during the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin Ireland
My grandmother told me of her memories of playing in the street in Stoneybatter when the 1916 Easter Rising started in Ireland.
She was 6 years old but remembers it today so vividly because it was the first and only time she saw her father scared. He got her mother who was 6 months pregnant, herself and younger brother to safety out of Dublin.
This is the story of the life of my grannie's parents, my great grandparents from 1910 until they died in the 1960's.
Dora and Paddy Maguire did have an ordinary life in Dublin but it was also a very interesting part of Irish history that they and my grandmother lived in.
