Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway-based academic Micheline Sheehy-Skeffington will participate in a re-enactment in Dublin tomorrow to mark the centenary of women getting the vote.
Micheline's grandmother Hanna Sheehy Skeffington smashed windows in Dublin Castle - the seat of British Government rule - on the 13th of June 1912.
She did it in response to votes for women being excluded from the Home Rule Bill for Ireland.
Hanna Sheehy Skeffington was subsequently arrested after smashing the windows of Dublin Castle and was sent to Mountjoy prison where she undertook a hunger strike.
Tomorrow, to commemorate the centenary of women getting the vote, her granddaughter, Micheline Sheehy Skeffington, who is an academic at NUIG, will dress in period costume and 'smash' a replica window in the castle and will be 'arrested' by a policeman.
She will also make a speech from a podium similar to that used by the suffragettes a century ago.
The event will take place at the Ship Street entrance to Dublin Castle at 11.30a.m tomorrow.
