Constance Markievicz will appear on the medals for the Dublin City Marathon this year. It is part of a commemoration of 100 years since women got the vote in Ireland. Senator Ivana Bacik, Chairperson of the Vótáil 100 committee said "We are delighted that the organisers of the Dublin Marathon have chosen to work with us as part of the Vótáil 100 programme and use the image of Constance Markievicz on the finishers’ medal for the 2018 race. This year, through our Vótáil 100 – Mná san Oireachtas programme, we are commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of women's suffrage in Ireland. The 39th running of the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon will take place on Sunday, October 28.
