Tugtar cur síos sa taispeántas seo ar an ról suntasach a bhí ag Páirc Fhaiche Stiabhna i rith Éirí Amach na Cásca 1916, nuair a bhí Éire ag iarraidh neamhspleáchas ó riail na Breataine. Tharla ceann de na cathanna ab fhíochmhaire den Éirí Amach anseo i rith Sheachtain na Cásca, 24–30 Aibreán 1916.
Áirítear an Ceannfort Michael Mallin, an Chuntaois Markievicz agus baill Arm Cathartha na hÉireann agus Chumann na mBan i measc daoine suntasacha ó stair na hÉireann a raibh ról tábhachtach anseo i rith an Éirí Amach.
Ghabh breis is 100 óglach ó Arm Cathartha na hÉireann seilbh ar an bhFaiche toisc gur áit thábhachtach straitéiseach i lár Bhaile Átha Cliath a bhí inti mar a raibh bóithre trasnacha agus soláthar uisce.
Bhí Páirc Fhaiche Stiabhna ar cheann de roinnt criosanna a bhí faoi fhorghabháil, agus bhí Ard-Oifig an Phoist agus muilte Boland i measc áiteanna eile.
Cé nár éirigh leis an Éirí Amach mar fheachtas míleata, baineadh Saorstát amach in 1922.

This exhibition, located throughout the Park, describes the remarkable role played by the Volunteer garrison of St Stephen’s Green during the Easter Rising of 1916, when Ireland was seeking independence from British rule. One of the most ferocious battles of the Rising took place here during Easter week, 24th – 30th April 1916.
Significant figures from Irish history, including Commandant Michael Mallin, Countess Markievicz and members of the Irish Citizen Army and Cumann na mBan played an important role in the Rising, here in St Stephen’s Green.
Over 100 Irish Citizen Army Volunteers occupied the Park, in the early hours of the Rising, as it was an important strategic location in the centre of Dublin with intersecting roads and a water supply. St Stephen’s Green Park was one of a number of occupied zones, others included the GPO and Boland’s Mill.
While the Rising was not a military success, a Free State was achieved in 1922.
Located throughout St Stephen’s Green are numbered information panels which illustrate many of the significant events of the Easter Rising.
