Please take a moment of silence for those who lost their lives. And yet let's rejoice for Ireland now thrives.

The Irish have risen and will continue to do so.

I think this is something many Irish want to forget but is always in the mind and blood. It's there and won't go away and the history is not forgotten. I think it evokes an everlasting sadness and a very quiet anger. I suppose for someone that describes themselves as a Christian, one can be challenged to overcome a rage at slights to Irish people still persist. The Irish will be polite but will put those in place if need be.
