President unveils a tapestry to commemorate the centenary of the 1913 Lockout

President Higgins unveiled a tapestry to commemorate the centenary of the 1913 Lockout. 

The 1913 Tapestry is the outcome of a collaboration between the National College of Art and Design and the trade union SIPTU. In early 2012, the two organisations commissioned artists Cathy Henderson and Robert Ballagh to design the tapestry and work with community groups to create 30 panels for it.
