You Should Book This 1916 Walking Tour

[@Clisare]

Again please share the video as KZbin's algorithm doesn't tend to reward these kinds of videos. Thank you so much and hope you enjoy!

[@RHCole]

Got it 👍🏻

[@warrendavis9262]

Done!!! To an Irish descended friend, no less!

[@jimlawnjr]

Thank for such a wonderful video on 1916 Easter Uprising, Amazing story he tells 😊👍🏻

[@BillWhitlingham]

Lorcan is an absolute legend! I could listen to him for hours and have! I love his podcast even though its been a bit neglected as of late. Thanks for this

[@robloxmaniacdanceandshake7871]

Irish blood is living and is sacred .... Support them all... And the continued struggle for Irish freedom and Sovereignty...

[@wildwilly3530]

Hi Clare! This is a timely video. I just went to an Easter 1916 commemoration mass in Newark, NJ. My parents were from Ireland and they took the whole family to this mass since before I was born. We march a couple of blocks from Military Park to St. Patrick’s Pro-Cathedral with a band of bagpipers and drummers leading the way. Along with the band is a Celtic cross with all of the heroes of the Rising printed on it. It is an annual tradition. I have to say though that a lot of the old Irish guard has passed away. The group is much smaller these days and a lot of the precision from years past has faded away. After mass we (and most of the congregation) walk to McGovern’s Pub - the bar where my parents met in the ‘60s.

[@sherondalewis8053]

I wish I was back in Jersey to see that!!

[@paulmcgrath6118]

Sounds lovely . You’d barely have anyone from Ireland show up at the commemorations these days unfortunately.

[@silverkitty2503]

@@paulmcgrath6118 there are reasons for that though its not laziness the easter rising was a failed rising it got a lot of people killed the war of independence isn't really celebrated because devalera wanted to be remembered as one of the original 1916 leaders ..also it became known among many as the time ireland was partitioned etc and the start of the troubles and amongst the unionists it caused strife ...so i guess it became controversial to many here with many having mixed feelings.

[@paulmcgrath6118]

@@silverkitty2503 dev hasn’t been around for a long time , there’s just too many armchair republicans. I’ve been going to the commemorations for years and the numbers are ridiculously small. Except for 2016 of course when everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

[@silverkitty2503]

@@paulmcgrath6118 But why shouldn't they be small? ? It isnt really anything to do with independence it was just a failed rebellion... that killed a lot of people and the war of independence wasn't until 1919 and only ended in 1921? Surely THAT is more important? I never got the whole 1916 fuss? It was a total failure?

[@Lissadell1916]

I would "insist" that any visitors to Dublin do this tour, it should be made obligatory in my view, not only is it educational but hilariously entertaining as well. Being English, I've been on it at least 12 times over the years and it literally changed my life for the better. I haven't seen Lorcan for a few years now but I thank him everyday for inspiring me to study Irish History. God bless you Lorcan.

[@Pyrexis]

Just bought 2 of this man's books. I look forward to them arriving!

[@Clisare]

Omg amazing! 🙌🏻

[@Pyrexis]

@@Clisare I am interested in the history after your video so I am excited for the arrival of the books.

[@Rain-Peters]

Thank you, I enjoyed this. I must say I am so glad that the younger generation from south and North can now be friends. My father in law is in his 90’s and northern Irish. He treated me fine until I told him I was a mixed breed, having a set of grandparents that were from Dublin. This face changed and that was that. Thanks again Clare. 😘♥️

[@allfasten]

That was a great tour. I was a young Russian fella workin in an all Irish construction crew in New York back in the 90s. Got along great and made a few good friends that I won't ever forget. They were a tight bunch - all from Donnegal and so I had a good liking for Ireland and its culture ever since.

[@An-Chliste]

Clare!!! Another MASTERPIECE!! The history is important! Thank you for sharing! And, thank you for introducing Lorcan Collins too!!! GRMA!!!!!☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪

[@kenmurphy5485]

I read a bit about the 1916 rebellion years ago and thought that it was a cluster-f operation. But thanks to Lorcan Collins I now know to "...not overanlyze it too militarily." And "to come at this with the heart as opposed to the head to see where the victoryy is. Because you don't always have to be the winner to be the victor." THAT REALLY KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF! Thank you Mr. Collins. And thank you Ms. Clare for the setting me straight.

[@valentinatenedini3272]

Dear Clare, This is by far one of your best contributions. Love from a big fan of Irish culture and civilization. Slan Slan💚🇨🇮

[@justbrandie]

This was fantastic!!

[@janetlykins295]

Wow……that’s a HUGE chunk of history there! A couple of times I started to tear up…..thank you for sharing this with us. ❤

[@cguzs2]

I truly admire Irish culture. Thank you for sharing this

[@zippymacadoo6336]

As my maternal family is from Belfast, I really need to research more Irish history. My grandparents came over separately and met in NY, though their families knew one another in Ireland. As I've been told my grandmother and two of her sisters came to the USA because as Protestants they couldn't get jobs at home. Apparently Grandpa's family was "asked" to emigrate, also Protestant. Of the combined 20 siblings between them only the youngest is left. My Great Aunt El is 90. She has the best stories ❤ My paternal relatives are Hungarian Catholics who fled the Iron Curtain. Off to another rabbit hole! Ty Clare ❤

[@silverkitty2503]

That makes no sense protestants were the ruling class and got all the houses and ALL The jobs. In belfast the protestant privilege was even worse .

[@SarahRenz59]

Thank you for introducing us to Mr. Lorcan Collins. (As an aside, I love the name Lorcan -- that's Peter O'Toole's son's name.) Americans have this idea of the Irish being conservative, mostly because of your Catholicism. But in some ways, you're more progressive and revolutionary than we are. It's very inspiring to hear your people's stories, and I hope that the will of the people will eventually prevail as well in my country.

[@LittleJenniren]

That man's letter to his wife after being shot :( I can't imagine what it would be like knowing you're walking to your assured death, just hoping that whoever comes behind you will bring victory. Thank you for sharing this tour!

[@Faeriedarke]

I had tears in my eyes near the end there, and when I saw your tears I just started bawling. So touching, thanks for sharing.

[@jeffrey9040]

I always like hearing how other people talk about the Rising. I took a university class in 2016 exclusively about this event, what lead up to it and the after. We spent spring break that year in and around Dublin since it was the centennial. Every day we would spend time at at least one of the sites, GPO, Four Courts, etc. Thanks for doing this video and helping spread awareness into a piece of history not often taught!

[@RHCole]

17:52 '1916 The Rising Handbook' Now THAT is a handsome book! 😍 Dude has taste.

[@GaeilgegoDeo]

Iontach maith! Love it. From an ex-pat, I look forward to your videos, a snippet of home. We should never forget how brave those men and women were and how ready they were to sacrifice it all as many of them did. Kilmainham is a great recommendation but be forewarned, it's one of the saddest places I have ever been, I always tear up when I go there. Thank you. Shared :).

[@onaematopia]

Very interesting. God bless our ancestors for their sacrifices. The tour guide is amazing

[@GenXfrom75]

Awesome, Clare! Thank you for the Irish history lessons. I have a love for the country despite not visiting yet. Ireland and Scotland are my genetic heritage and I plan to see both before I leave this world. I always look forward to these ❤🇮🇪

[@terenzo50]

All the people you've documented are beyond wonderful. As are you. And Millie. And by extension Alex. Hope you're having a lovely Easter and many thanks for all you do.

[@kathleensnow5358]

THANK YOU! My grandfather would be so proud that I took the time to watch this. Slainte!

[@Greg_Watchorn]

Brilliant Clare - an important part of our history. Thank you for another great IBL/vlog and for all your hard work in providing and producing great quality content 😃😃☘️☘️

[@APaganPerspective]

Wow Claire. another great vid. thank you for sharing it

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you for sharing this was us. I like how he puts a little bit of extra information in his tours & he did a great job 👍🏻

[@sherondalewis8053]

Wow... that letter he read at the end was so sad. What a beautiful yet sad letter saying goodbye to his wife, kids, and family. What a great tour you have shown us, Clare. Great history lesson. Thank you for this! Slàinte

[@bumblebeesusan8034]

Wow. This is my first comment. Been following you for quite a while. Love all you're content, but this one struck my heart. This man is amazing. Many things I did not know. Thank you for sharing. When i ever make it to Ireland I'll be sure to take this man's tour!

[@Talktothehand.253]

I’m grateful for these videos. I’m learning so much about your struggles for independence. My ancestors also fought for independence from the ottoman turks. I should tell you that some of the most significant land and sea battles were headed up by women. Cheers matey!

[@jeffmcdonald4225]

Your videos have gotten better and better. I'm learning so much from these (like the workhouse video, which is the best I've seen on the Intetnet) and I thank you so very much for them.

[@RobJDoran]

Thank you, Clare… for taking the time to share this great wealth of information. He brings it so much more to life, rather than just reading a history book… especially for those of us who have strong ties to Ireland but live elsewhere. ☘️

[@Jiddy12345]

Really remarkable speakers. Michael and Lorcan have been such fun to watch.

[@matthewhall3772]

16:29 🥺 beautiful 🥺♥️

I memorized Yeats' "Easter, 1916" in university. I've never even stepped foot in Ireland. It's all very moving.

[@theblackbear211]

Thank you Clisare. I'm not sure what more there is to say... and yet... there is so much to say.

[@edwardendicott3247]

Thanks for taking us along on these tours, I've enjoyed them and learned a lot. Brilliant as always!

[@lostonwallace1396]

So good! I learned a lot by just watching this video! Between this video and the one you did with that pleasant fellow talking about the hardships of the famine, I feel like I've really received good understanding on why the Irish aren't fond of the UK. My family tree is pretty much a mix of Irish and Scottish folk, and I'm now really trying to learn more about the history of both countries. I find all of your videos to be fun, Clisare, but when you do videos like this one, I'm thrilled. I love to learn about the past. I can't thank you enough for this gift.

[@erickmorin2660]

Hi Clare, I wish I knew about his tour when I was in Dublin, it seems so full of knowledge on the events between 1916 and 1922. When you go back to Kilkenny, ask for a tour with John at the Medieval Mile Museum... an other knowledgable person. And I like Jo from the Ghost Tour that was suggested to me by a wonderful woman.

[@nigel8499]

This is complicated but you have to admire the passion. I need to watch a few more times to understand 👍

[@k80ola]

I just want to let you know that I love this series of videos. Thanks to you and the great storytellers you share with us!

[@randyhodges8782]

Now I have to dive into Irish history. You're good at this.

[@Zenithxblack]

Clare ❤❤ thank you so much for sharing these things with us! I'm 1/2 Irish, but may never be able to visit the motherland. You are really helping others to learn Irish history!

[@SlurpeeE]

I really wish I would have known about that tour when I visited Dublin in 2018. Definitely want to go back, definitely want to take the tour.

what a fab video. thank you, Clisare! learned a lot and a great character telling the stories.

Ah ha,that tour guide is brilliant! Stories galore,and told with love. Listen,dear Clisare,I have probably said this in the past,and of course,you are a spoken for,married woman. I would like to say,purely out of utmost respect,you have the most beautiful eyes,complimented only by a smile to match. Yes,there,I said it. And I hope that your eyes smile,in response,along with the matching smile beneath the nose☺️

Howdy Miss Clare 👋 fascinating tour. 👍

[@mattsmith8944]

Really fascinating, thanks so much.

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

Hahah, the tour guide has a wicked sense of humour, I love it X'D It's always good to hear from someone about the Irish rebellions against British rule, it's not something you hear about all that much here in England (the British don't like to talk about their contributions to the extreme mistreatment of the Irish, funny that). I'd love to see more stuff like this!

[@brian52763]

Thank you, Clare! This was very informative, powerful and sad.!

[@johngoldstone4548]

Absolutely wonderful, Clisare. Your tour guide just happens to be brilliant: so smart, so facile with the facts. If providence grants me another trip to Dublin, I'll be on his tour. Ta!

[@dobiebloke9311]

Clare - Thanks for this and all the vids of yours that show and explain Irish history. I'm finally coming to somewhat of an understanding as to why the Irish loathe the British.

[@Clisare]

I wouldn’t say the Irish loathe the British today at all but there’s definitely generational trauma there around the collective idea of Britain and the crown.

[@suzannahstan]

This is FANTASTIC!!! I’m finding your Bucket List absolutely delightful! Plus, WHO KNEW YOU WERE IRISH??? BWAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 Love to you, Alex, and Millie!!! ❤
