Below you will find resources sourced from the web about 1916. I have brought most of the resources available to me into one place in the hopes that all teachers won't have to do the same searching online for what they are looking for.
Please comment on the post if you have any good links you can add and I will happily update this post. If you have any presentations you would be willing to share please email fearasscoile@gmail.com this is to become a sharing platform so it would be much appreciated.
