Sean Heuston, along with a number of other leaders of the 1916 Rising, was executed on May 8, 1916.
To mark the occasion there will be an event in Richmond Barracks on Sunday, followed by a walk from the barracks to Kilmainham Gaol, where the executions took place. The walk will retrace the steps of the executed men on May 8, 1916.
Refurbished Richmond Barracks is due to open to the public next month.
The Christian Brothers used the building as a school fro many years.
The text below is placed on one of the school desks in a room, which has been restored to its classroom conditions.
