    We Cornish have also suffered under the imperial boot of the Sawsnek. You are a beacon - the first independent Celtic Nation. Hope we can rely on your brotherhood in our own struggle. We also need to be free!

    Here's to James Connolly, Padraic Pearse and their comrades. They knew they went out to die. Let's never forget them.
    I visited Kilmainham Jail where they were shot dead, and the yard where they were shot was eerie, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
    I don't know this song, but it's very good.
    Long live the memory of Connolly and Pearse et al!

    Irish hero's and proud to be related to Collins. A GREAT book of fiction based on the Easter Rising is "1914", AWESOME book relating the events and almost makes you feel like your there.

    I came to Ireland from England as a nine year old girl for a holiday. I have never forgot that holiday. Castlegregory it was. Much later in my life I learnt a small bit of proper Irish-English history at university (was studying English lit., did Yeats) I now find I am interested in Ireland and its culture and people and would like to take a holiday next year in Eire. I am sorry for what the English have done to Ireland over the centuries. Sincerely, Jane Metcalfe

    Next time you watch a Guinness advert remember that Guinness actively helped the British army to put down the uprising.

    The best thing is Ireland is a republic. On it's own. One day, in my lifetime, the whole of the beautiful island will be free. God bless all the men and women who willingly gave their lives to make this a possibility and one day a fact. Soldiers Are We........ Xxxx
