The Rising of 1916 is one of the most historical moments in Irish history. There have been countless stories to come from the capital city of extraordinary events taking place as fighting was ongoing on Easter Sunday.

This documentary however takes a look at the little known story of how Enniscorthy had its own uprising days before the rising in Dublin.

In this piece by Seán Mac Réamoinn those who were just young men at the time take a look back at an extraordinary time of their lives.

First broadcast 11th April 1966
