The Garden of Remembrance is an Irish memorial garden, created in Dublin to commemorate all those killed in the Anglo-Irish War (also known as the Irish War of Independence) between 1919 and 1922. It also commemorates those who died in other conflicts in the struggle for Irish freedom, notably
- the 1798 rebellion
- the 1803 rebellion
- the Young Ireland rebellion
- the Fenian uprising in the 1860s
- the land wars, and
- the 1916 Easter Rising.
The Irish Civil War is generally not commemorated there, as it is still a politically divisive issue.
Because subsequent campaigns of violence did not achieve the same levels of support, IRA members (or those of other paramilitary organisations) killed after 1922–23 are not allowed to be commemorated there.
The Garden of Remembrance was opened in 1966 by President de Valera on the fiftieth anniversary of the Easter Rising. It is in the form of a sunken cruciform water-feature. It is located in the northern fifth of the original park in the centre of Parnell Square (formerly Ruthland Square), a Georgian square on the northside of Dublin.
In 2004 it was suggested that as part of the redesign of the square the Garden of Remembrance itself might be redesigned.
A much larger National War Memorial, built thirty years earlier, commemerates those who died in World War One.
