As the centennial anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising approaches, Eason is sharing our archives of the events, as seen through the eyes of our employees during this cornerstone in Irish history. This archive is now available to the public to review in the Eason store on O’Connell Street, through touch-screens on the ground floor. The screens are situated within a new “Commemorating 1916” section that carries the largest range of 1916 books in the country. | Eason Ireland
