The Flag of Truce from Moore Street

A tiny 40cm handkerchief, believed to be the actual flag of truce flown during the 1916 surrender at Moore Street, is set to auction for €10,000–€15,000. Passed down from Captain Michael William OReilly, its authenticity is backed by his own military report. While the price seems steep, experts say its true value lies in its symbolic weight as a tangible link to Ireland’s defining moment. Politicians are pushing for the state to acquire it for display at the upcoming Moore Street historic site, arguing it belongs to the public—not private collectors.
