Sandra McLellan: It is almost impossible to talk about Dublin's rich literary tradition without simultaneously acknowledging the centrality of the battlefield site. Sean O’Casey’s work, particularly his dramatic trilogy, use both the events and the setting of Moore Street and the GPO in 1916 as a central prop.

Sandra McLellan: We are only 34 months away from 2016 and the centenary is fast approaching. In the two years I have been in this House, the issue has been on the agenda every Question Time.
