Description
Home Rule Demonstration March 31st 1912 Committee badge. This demonstration took place in O’Connell Street, Dublin. Four platforms were erected close to the Parnell monument, which Redmond had unveiled six months previously. John Redmond was the principle speaker at the first platform. John Dillon, Joseph Devlin and Eoin MacNeill spoke on the other platforms. The meeting opened with the singing of ‘A Nation Once Again.’ Redmond spoke of how Home Rule would "enable Ireland, with dignity and self-respect to enter for the first time into co-partnership in the Empire with perfect good faith and with perfect loyalty on a footing of equality and of liberty."

National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
