A bridge near Croke Park has been renamed to commemorate the events of Bloody Sunday on 21 November 1920.
A plaque was unveiled this morning almost 103 years to the day that 14 civilians were killed by British soldiers at Croke Park during a football match between Tipperary and Dublin.
The bridge connects Russell Street and Jones Road over the Royal Canal.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithí de Róiste said it commemorates a "very dark day" in Irish history.
"Jerome O'Leary was just ten years old, his father put him up on the wall at the Canal end of Croke Park, he was lifted up to watch the match, and he was the youngest victim that terrible day," he said.
He added: "He was the first to be shot and killed. We also this morning unveiled a plaque at 69 Blessington Street which is where he lived."
"Three kids died that day, there was a 10-year-old, an 11-year-old and a 14-year-old."
"When we are looking at this with so many victims, they were just ordinary people that went to watch a match."
The Lord Mayor said that after wars, civilian casualties tend not to be commemorated.
"After the awful events that unfolded 103 years ago that people will just commemorate that these were ordinary people that just went out to watch a game of football."
"Renaming the bridge Bloody Sunday bridge, it is in honour of all of those who lost their lives on that faithful day."
