Dublin city councillors are backing a proposal to recover the remains of The Invincibles from Kilmainham Jail.
The five men - Joseph Brady, Daniel Curley, Michael Fagan, Thomas Caffrey and Tim Kelly - were hanged in 1883 for their part in the Phoenix Park assassinations.
The newly installed Chief Secretary of Ireland Lord Frederick Cavendish and Permanent Under Secretary Thomas Henry Burke were attacked and stabbed to death as they walked in the park.
The Irish National Invincible - an IRB splinter group - were behind the attack.
