On this day April 2, 1914 Cumann na mBan was founded in Dublin

Over 100 women met in Wynns Hotel Dublin on April 2, 1914 and formed the revolutionary organisation Cumann na mBan.

We pay homage to those women of Cumann na mBan as equal participants in the Easter Rising and their contributions are celebrated and commemorated alongside those of their male counterparts.

Cumann na mBan have continued to the present day to be at the forefront of the struggle for Irish freedom and in particular we remember those women who paid the supreme price during the war in the Occupied Six Counties in recent years.
