My father was selling papers just round the corner from O Connel street that Easter Sunday, he was 10 years old. Hearing a commotion and seeing people streaming round the corner from O Connel street he went to the corner to see what was afoot only to have a policeman smash his baton into the top of his head. He was knocked unconcious. He carried the resultant crease in his skull for the rest of his life.

Coy., 1st Battn., 26, temple Cottages, Broadstone, Dublin, was only 17 years of age when he was fatally wounded at dawn in the Church Street area, 1916. He died in the Richmond Hospital. He was a student of brilliant attainments, taking first place in French and Irish in the Intermediate Examination. After this he went to London as a boy clerk in 1914, returned to the Land Commission, Dublin, in 1915, and transferred to the Congested Districts Board. Early in 1916, he left there and entered the Stanley Streeet Works of the Dublin Corporation. He was amember of the Fianna Pipers Band. The stone was unveiled on 24th November 1935. He was buried in the family plot in Glasnevin.

And yes there were tears.. for all those who died by hunger strike.. and the hanging death of 18 year old Kevin Barry.. Also in the shots they showed of victims of the potato famine.. the Great Hunger.. could not help but wonder if members of my father’s family were among them.. His forebears immigrated to Canada.. and later to US.. which is how our family came to be in Michigan.. These documented videos press us to think and to wonder what their lives must have been like..

Love this. My second name is MacTreanor. We held sway over Monaghan for many years, our enemies were the O'Neills. The English invaded and one of the very few clans to refuse to bow were the MacTreanors. We banded together with the mckennas and the O'Neills, our old enemy. For centuries we rebelled and eventually our names became Traynor. During the Easter rising we fought against the british, got elected to government, and never once did we bow to English rule. It destroyed a lot of us, some left during the flight of the earls but many stayed. To this day my ancestors never gave in and same applies to the present day.

As for Ulster Protestants, they're the ones who insist they're British and not Irish. They're the ones who despise Roman Catholics and resent their having basic civil rights. The Easter agreements of the 1990's haven't changed this in my observation. We mere Irish are simply taking them at their word. A Nigerian Catholic who legally immigrates and has their children learn Irish and Irish history and culture with the goal of submerging themselves into Ireland, including intermarrying, is more Irish than English settlers who still despise the natives.

Good documentary. Ulsterman here - probably Irish. I don't understand why the Irish get so exercised about the English occupation from about the 12th Century. That's just how things were done then all over the world. Why do you think the Indian population of South America speak Spanish? It's called Imperialism and nobody was better at it than the English/ British. Remember the old slogan "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because it was so extensive. Of course the suffering and theft of goods from occupied countries made Britain what it used to be - a rich land of c**ts. Britain is responsible for long standing trouble in the middle East and China and just about everywhere. It's important though to look at history in the context of it's time. The creation of Northern Ireland was a reaction to an Irish state dominated by the Catholic Church at grass roots level and the North was populated by me - well Presbyterians planted from Scotland. Thank God things have changed. The most recent Troubles have encouraged some Protestants/ Unionists to think of themselves as Irish and ironically Sinn Fein is not as popular in the 26 counties as they are in the 6 making up Northern Ireland. Enough people have died for Ireland. Let's do some living. xo

[@davidpryle3935]

There’s a lot of truth in what you say. Ireland was made up of loads of different petty kingdoms and was ripe for the picking. While everyone was Irish and spoke Irish there had never really been a genuine central controlling leadership/King of the whole country who could combine all resources of Ireland human etc. to repel invaders. Just compare it to Scotland which actually had a land border with England, but because they had genuine Scottish kings with real power over the whole country were able to repel English invaders for centuries.

I often wonder if the uprising was in 1918, just after the war. The British may have had less stomach for a fight

[@COLOURVINYLRECORDSIRELAND90210]

No it was in 1916 and planned that way as the Brits were fightining in the Great War.

That's true.

[@georgehanna943]

Why was there such hatred towards the Irish? Why were the Engkish able to carry out such criminal atrocity?

[@pittameatdish7589]

The UK , Denmark and the Republic of Ireland joined the EEC on the 1st of January 1973 bringing the total countries to nine at that time. They didn't reunite with the UK as this suggests. It was the the early beginnings of the EU. Catholic refugees were still crossing the border into the Republic at this stage. If you believe Irelands famine was caused by a potato blight you've got to be crazy. Ireland is a temperate climate suitable for the growth of many vegetables and fields of grass for cattle and sheep and pigs etc. Chickens, cabbage, carrots, kale, cauliflower and many many more vegetables and animals but watch a movie or read a book not made by the English and you'll find out why millions of Irish Catholics died in the middle of the 1800s. It wasn't because of a potato blight. A vegetable brought back by Sir Walter Raleigh 200 years earlier. It's impossible. We're facing a bigger blight now. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@finbarrgeary2162]

in 1980 my grandad had a farm in west Cork and he had all animals now it's just dairy

[@pittameatdish7589]

@finbarrgeary2162 that's because the Irish Government sold out to the EU and others. I spent time.e on my grandparents farms and although they weren't wealthy days they were happy times. The government of the late 80s on let the EU dictate how many animals we could have, what we could how and where we could fish. They privatised everything and lined their pockets with money and now since 1990 Irish people have become gradually a minority. The Irish culture is on it's last legs unless something dras is done. Sorry about your farm. I too have fond memories of the Republic of Ireland.

Technically not The Troubles, but still a great reporting of the uprising and its heroes

[@mickmouse5715]

The Irish fought to throw off the British yoke only to fall under an Irish yoke which is still in place Today. the land they fought to free is now overrun and under the control of the WEF.

Now the GPO looks like the ruins of Rome after the Barbarians have stormed the city. We are entering the Dark Ages in Europe (literally and figuratively). What was the point of 1916 if we Irish are a minority on our own island as will inevitably happen within the next 20 years?

WW-1 was the war for the "Freedom for Small Nations" but England exempted Ireland, despite the fact that 200,000 Irishmen fought in the trenches of France, believing that it was for the "Freedom for Small Nations".. (English Lies)
