A 12-year-old girl killed in crossfire during the 1916 Rising was one of those named on a time-capsule parchment which was reburied at Glasnevin Cemetery yesterday.
The capsule was found by workmen in October and had a list of all those killed during the Rising, including leaders, volunteers and ordinary citizens.
The lead cylinder was first buried by the government of 1929 in the stone canopy of the Sigerson monument. This was the first monument built by the new Irish government and contains a Pieta-like white statue bequeathed by republican Dora Sigerson Shorter.
The unopened capsule was yesterday replaced under a stone in the grey canopy roof and sealed with concrete.
Archivists from the national library determined the contents from a description in minutes of a 1929 cabinet meeting. They decided it was too early to open the 78-year-old capsule.
Dublin Cemeteries Committee chief executive George McCullough said he hopes it will be another 400 years before the capsule is opened.
