THERE IS NO IRISH TEESHOCK OR PRESIDENT!!! teeshock or prez of THREE QUARTERS, yes, but not of IRELAND!! Study the atlas. And did Paudrigg Pearse REALLY say that the church-run system of education in Southern Ireland was a "murder machine". Now, that I'd love to know. |You don't have to be a cathollic to be a fucking bollox, you know. maybe it helps but i am cure other churches have their dirty bastards hidden somewhere.
Have any muslim scandals broken out yet? What's keeping them?
and islolated protestant communities fearful of nationalism and Dublin rule. Surely it is not unimaginable that they can embrace their Irish identity as I and others I know of have. Religion can no longer play a part in the politics of this country nor can the petty tribalism still so prevalent in the North, otherwise the people of this island will never be free.
I was born and bred in the loyalist heartlands of North Antrim, I see nothing but union jacks, red white and blue painted kerbs, vile sectarian graffiti and drunken louts parading their 'traditional culture' while managing to shred any piece of credibility with their disgusting, violent, WKD fueled behaviour. I joined a flute band when I was 14, and was taught UDA songs and so much other filth. Loyalism in the North is nothing more than thuggery, an olive branch must be extended to misinformed
Pearse was unlikely to have been "gay"; had there been a shred of evidence the British government would have exploited it to the max. Many people's openness and affection are misread, either in earnest or with malice intended. We can rest assured that the British would have liked nothing better than to have "exposed" another Irish patriot as a homosexual. That did not happen - I believe because it could not. There is no reason to debate this; the man was a courageous patriot.
Padraig Pearse was a man of Ireland and spoke for the people of Ireland he fought and was executed for his so called crimes .it was he and and many others such as micheal Collins and eamonn de Valera who freed us the irish people and we are and ever shall be ever grateful for their deeds
This day, 3rd May 1916 this great man was executed. His poems, songs, orations and deeds are still engraved on the hearts of so many men and women. I hope and pray that his vision of a free and united Ireland will come soon – “We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland, and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible”- “and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, inhumanity, or rapine”– RIP
The Irish people do not have large armies or powerful weapons, but we have something the British will never be able to conquer: An unbending spirit; a want for freedom; knowing we are greater then our British masters, we will never be defeated!
:o who the fudge said he's gay? HE WAS NOT! he had a girlfriend but she died while tryin to save a young boy and friend from drowning at sea, he was so sad he never loved anyone again except his family, pupils of his school and his country! and to anyone who says he was gay POG MO THOIN!!!!!!

so what if Pearse was gay, he was still the fieriest and most lovable of irish rebels ever! God Rest Padraig Pearse, his brother Willie, comrades from before, during and since, long live Ireland, one day we will obtain a proper republic for which you died, not as Bernadette McAliskey rightly says, a banana republic!
@andr3w103 a know, but Padraig is the man, am not even irish and a get a buzz outta this speech, i hope the nothern irish see sence and realise bein owned by england is a terrible thing, not somethin u should be proud of by bein unionist, anyway goo luck to the irish, n good luck to maself to see scotland independent
@Rfc1Darryl im not a brit or a northern unionist but your wrong, the north is not owned by england, it is just in the union along side it. their loyalty is to the union, not to england. you see tricolours or jacks flying outside every house, but you will never see an english flag.
@andr3w103 if he was gay he wouldnt of had the balls to put a rifle on, i learned about Padraig Pearse n it said he was a batchler, Pearse had a good heart and was a great guy, and although i have RFC in ma name a dont even support them anymore, am scottish and im a nationalist republican, and the rangers fans wave union jacks n sing about the queen, = iv had enough
I laugh at ALL you people below debating whether or not Padraig Pearse was this or that...you are suck into a non existent debate...the british called Sir Rodger Casement an Irish rebel a 'homosexual' as that was the "I'll bring you down buzz word of the day"...Now it's paedo's...I remember in the school yard it was smelly knickers...
@IRAprovos casement was admittedly a homosexual. thats not debatable. pearse probably, but not definitely, had paedophile tendancies. also, thats right about the throwing of vegtables and the betrayal of the irish volunteers.
there is a seriously sick stigma in society these days. any man that loves children is immediately treated with caution and suspician. personally i hate kids but it still worries me that we're so obsessed with everything perverse that something so innocent is viewed with suspicion
@goatboy679 ...I laugh at ALL you people below debating whether or not Padraig Pearse was this or that...you are sucked into a non existent debate...the british called Sir Rodger Casement an Irish rebel a 'homosexual' as that was the "I'll bring you down buzz word of the day"...Now it's paedo's...I remember in the school yard it was smelly knickers...
You thinking of Parnell. Pearse was never married. However he did have a Girlfriend for a long time, apperantly she drowned and he was so heart broken he never went out with another woman after.
platonic relationship no proof he had a relationship this is explained by the fact that he had asperger's sybdrome i.e. he is asexual hence why he didnt see what was wrong with his poem Boy Of Little Tricks. Look up Unstoppable Brilliance after reading it, it makes so much sense that he had it.
@darrin42 he also died soon after the easter rising in a british prison, he was exicuted thus he may have never had a chance to truly recover from the womans death
People ask why I feel Irish Republicanism is still relevant in a generally peaceful and prosperous country. Those two lines from Pearse sum my opinion up. Why should we as Irish men and women be part of a state from which our Irish forefathers have always had to prise their rights from reluctant British hands? Why should we be linked to a state from which we have to take what they would not give?
We will not just take ulster back, when the time is right, like the warriors of great antiquity; we shall annex The devil (Britain) just as Jesus Christ defeated him.
He went down into the abyss, then rose victorious. Ireland and its people are in the same boat, the boat has been underwater, capsizing and sinking for 800 years. The time for Revolution is nigh, victory is in the midst & with our hardened, wise, cunning ancestral nature that was evoked by thee,WE shall overcome them.
@nallyterrace you are a true irishman ireland unfree shall NEVER have peace because without freedom you cannot be peacefull and you cannot be peacefull when you are not free
It's a beautiful poem isn't it? And recited powerfully by the late great Ronnie Drew with the tin whistle in the background. It's just a pity this wasn't a speech made in a time where there were television cameras to capture it. This would surely have gone alongside some of the great speeches of the 20th century like Martin Luther King's famous 'I have a dream' speech.
The english always used the tactic of slander (relative to what at the time was slanderess) to TRY and undermine their Irish enemies and the TRUTH being the attempted undermining of the person and the cause of RESISTANCE to their rule...Charles Parnell (Adultery)...Sir Roger Casement (Treason, Homosexuality)...and Irish poets like Oscar Wilde (Homosexuality)...IE...'WHISKYDOG' ...Think ! how does he know? ..Was he /she there...HAHA...DON'T THINK SO. Another sad attempt of conquer..Up the IRA.
In fairness though, Parnell did engage in an adulterous affair. And the Irish people did as much slandering as the British. Although the British had previously tried to frame Parnell for something else with the 'Piggot Forgeries' and I think that would have been a better example for you to use. By all evidence, Casement probably was a homosexual and only a handful of historians dispute it anymore. And homosexuality was illegal in Oscar Wilde's time so it was within the law.

There is no concrete evidence to support your remarks and even the Unionist historian Russell Rees ridiculed the notion that Pearse was a paedophile. As for opening his own school....you may as well brand every school in the world as being founded by paedophiles. In fact, anyone who assumes that a man who starts up a school is a paedophile probably has a strange sexual twist themselves!

most pedos are not gay they have no interest in other adult men Pearse showed an unsual interest in young boys not just the poems but things like starting his own school(boys only) liking boys in uniform ect. Then theres Rodger (apt name) Casement another pedo!
um where's your proof for that? wasn't a paedo and certainly was not a traitor his dream was to die for the freedom of Ireland and he surrendered himself during rising to save the lives of others. I've been doing research the last 3 weeks and saw nothing about him being a traitor. give your source for this belief and I'll apologise
actually, he rather was a traitor considering at the time 95% of the irish volunteers were fighting alongside the brits in ww1 when pearse led this rebellion against them. it was also a rebellion that the people of dublin initially despised. furthermore, many of the rebels were teenage pupils of pearse, who he brainwashed into sacrificing themselves for something most irish people didnt want.
And I suppose you have taken into account the fact that most Irishmen did NOT fight for the British and thus the actions of the National Volunteers cannot be used as a reflection of the opinion of the majority of the Irish people. Secondly the use of the word 'initially' in your comment is quite unhelpful to the point you are trying to make....when you think about it. And how do you know most Irish people didn't want a rebellion? Online poll?
@nallyterrace its a basic historical fact that most irish people didn't want a rebellion. the civilians threw fruit, vegetables and, in some rare cases, urine at the arrested rebels. thats how i know.
Ok so you're claiming that it's a historical fact that most Irish people didn't want a rebellion. So obviously you must have a piece of basic evidence to support that?
Yes, people in Dublin jeered the rebels as they were led through the streets. But no-one at the time was sure what exactly had happened. There was mass confusion as to what the fighting had all been about. Within 2 months though, Sinn Fein (the mistaken perpetrators) were the new political force in Ireland.
its bjust a fact that virtually no one supported the rising. the rebelsonly got sympathy later when the brits imprisoned hundreds of innocent men. read any history book.
@corsellus Actually, you should read a history book. My country was crying out for such action. It happened, the Republic was declared, long live the Republic! So tell me, who didn't support the provisional government when they declared British interference in Irish affairs illegal?
@jarsonist who didnt support the rebels in 1916? to begin with, there was the citizens of dublin whose city was thrown into chaos. there was the 100,000+ irish voluteers who joined with the brits in ww1 and were effectively, stabbed in the back, there were the families of the volunteers. even eoin macneill, who was in charge of the minority of the volunteers who didnt go to war was opposed to the rising. these are all facts. a better question would be: who did support them
@corsellus Citizens of Dublin? Why then in the 1918 general election did Dubliners elect 9 Sinn Féin candidates out of a possible 10. The 100,000 members of the Irish Volunteers in the British army? Men who were lied to to get them to join, men who were used as cannon fodder, men who, if they were lucky enough to return, took up arms in the War of Independence. MacNeill? He only wanted it postponed and only after hearing the Aud was scuttled. The question is why shoneens like you still exist.
@jarsonist Mate think you got facts a wee bit wrong. the people of dublin spat and jeered at the rebels as they were led away by the brits. Whether you like it or not the majority of people saw the rising at the time as an annoyance. Im assuming your a republican but as republicans we must not stick out heads in the sand and go "that didnt happen" at every part of irish history we dont like. I take encoragement from this period in history. You should too instead of romanticising our history.
Oh, shut up, ya homophobe, and watch the damn video. It should be well apparent that nobody down here in the comments GIVES A SHIT about Pearse's supposed sexual orientation.
I'm not saying he was gay and I'm not saying he wasn't. I'm saying you're a homophobe and you should shut up and find something more productive to do with your time. I suggest creative writing, or perhaps the banjo.

if they were not private schools they would have been british owned and would not have been aloud to be all irish speaking schools and would have had to learn a ''british'' sylabus.
Hey: I just wanted to say I'm sorry for phrasing my comment so rudely; it was uncalledfor, and I apologize. I was in kind of a bad mood when I logged on.
um he also set up a girls school but it failed he was not gay nor a paedophile I can see why people think I'm doing an assignment and felt uncomfortable reading some things on him but then a found a book that explained the strangeness of his character and it was that he had aspergers syndrome and even when he was alive people thought he was a paedophile because of his writings and this was due to a poem he wrote which sounded inappropriate when translated into English. he was actually asexual
@fifiwozere ...If I translate...sassanach (Gaelic) into english it means...Murdering, Genocidal, Meglomaniac, Paedo loving killers..I .know that is a contradiction of terms because how can the english/british loveers of Irish children shot them, deliberately with plastic bullets in the head now that is a contradiction of terms...As for 'rory198' he was throwing vegetables...once again
Rose tinted spectacles are wonderful thing, the romantic notion of Pearse and the rest of the brave Irish rebels standing firm against the British during Easter week 1916 is in my opinion nonsense.
The real heroes were on the western front fighting the Germans not running about shooting and killing there own people in Dublin.
president of our republic that crippled your silly empire , you fool you fool you fool, no you are actually a stupid cunt who shows up where you are not welcome , so fuck off
you really want him to be gay so you can blow him, dont be ashamed , gay people like you are accepted members of society, you dont have to hide but please stop trying to hide behind our president , he does not want or appreciate your sexual advances
A poem Pearse published in 1909 entitled "A Mhic Bhig na gCleas" (Little Lad of the Tricks), in which he describes the kisses of a little boy being sweeter than the kisses of women. he was a pedo !
while i'm not really a fan of Pearse's so called "poetry," it's not entirely fair to take the translation of a line from mhic bhig out of context. Historically, Pearse was apparently quite offended by the suggestion that the english translation could be taken as a romantic statement toward the boy rather than a yearning for the passion of the boys own relationships. That being said, from a period that produced men like Yeats, Pearse's self-consciously nationalist "poetry" rings rather hollow
the line in question comes from a stanza that reads in english: "there is a fragrance in your kiss / That I have not found yet / In the kisses of women / Or in the honey of their bodies." In irish it would be much clearer that he means that the boy's passionate relationships (presumably with young women) have an energy that Pearse's mature relationships have not. The irish version reads: "Tá cumhracht i d'phóig / Nachar fríth fós líom. / I bpógaibh na mban / Ná i mbalsam a gcorp."
the poem is meant to be a yearning after lost youth, although as i said before, i'm not actually a fan at all, but i do believe that it ought to be laid out clearly and seen for what it was.
how dare you you show up and spew your generic crap. the slander of our president comes decades after his murder because you need to justify butchering the leaders of the most significant republic since 1776, you are a sad prick. if our president was a pedo , your vigilant government would have arrested him before he overthrew the crown to make sure the children of the republic were safe from him , because the crown were very concerned with the wellbeing of irish children.
Hail to the Irish...you crawl before you can walk...you walk before you can run...you suffer before you feel pain...and imprisoned before you truely... realise freedom...The Irish were beaten but NEVER defeated...Respect to all the freedom fighters of the world on whatever level that might be...Setanta...Slan.
The person speaking these words is Padraig Pearse...Irish Rebel...Undefeated Irish never will be...we will always be a fighter... no body rules US...Slainte.

He was a great manfor the Irish free state and The Catholic church.These modern day heathens must accept the Church of Rome if they wish to walk with God in his heavenly kingdom.
Its the RC church that helped enslave the Irish people and the indigenous people of the world. We are people, we are ONE, the RC church is many and much ... and one goal...profit!
in 16 "rebel" was a derogitary term so the brits called our leaders rebels ,in the later years bad words were "marxist" "socialist" "terrorist" "ira godfather" and so on.the popularity of pearse and his cause have lived on so you have to find a new and popular term for his ongoing slander.please be silent
wot ever people think ,,i respect pearse and will all ways remember him.iam english but never british.my mums family are from ireland.godbless to the united irishmen
Why cant you immature and stupid Brits commenting lies on this video just GET OVER IT! Ireland WON, you LOST, there is nothing you can do about it, and your only harming your own counrtie's repuation by spreading lies. So please stop. Idiots
I am a republican Thuglordrpt, but I also like to do my bit in raising the standard of literacy on youtube. I would like to point out that the indefinite article before 'immigrant' should be 'an'.
I read in the riseing how he sat in the GPO and just watched everything. He wasent a soilder, nor a strategist, but a symbolic irish nationalist nevertheless.
he was president of the rising, he helped organize it and made the descion with james connolly to make an unconditional surrender. He read the proclamation to a small and rather confused crowed and even though the rising failed, his goal was achieved that his death would bring wide spread awarness and nationalism to ireland
yes i know all that lol but he wasent a soilder and dident take much of an active part in the riseing. James connolly is the grestest out of them all in my opinion. Others went out and faught too who where leaders, but connolly had a combination of all aspects of the struggle, and his contribution keeps the RIRA/CIRA/INLA alive today.
Personally, I dont think that Pearse just sat their during the rising. Even if he did his amazing speeches must have inspired many young men to take up arms and fight for Ireland. And after all you wouldnt see Mr Obama fighting on the front lines of Afghanistan. Even saying that it doesn't take common sense to notice that a man with such passion and patriotism to Ireland that he would take up arms and fight for his country's freedom!
im not trying ti take anything away from him, he was very brave, but he done no fighting and wasent militarily admired as a soldier by the others, some even had a sarcastic view of him, according to witness accounts, he ''stood on his stool'' and the closest he got to fighting was giving a solider his pistol.
cdoublehs says it all and whe he sais would this great man administer british rule in ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!absolutley bloody not the emphasis being on bloody.
provivonal sinn fein can not b associated with this great man, he would be ashamed at what they have done. would this man administer brirtish rule in ireland???
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Pearse bequeathed to Ireland a violent political doctrine that has tore the heart out of our nation. The IRA is his child and one that should never have been borne. How anyone can sing the praise of an illegal mudering paramilitary group that killed thousands of innocent men, women and children raises a question in itself.
Pearse was a great man in ways. But as a military leader a disaster. Just a blood sacrafice. More dead innocent. When he died he owed money to those shopkeepers who supplied his Irish-speaking school with provisions. It was said they were most upset by the death of Pearse - he would not be able to pay the bills!
He didnt make us a free country what are you talking about ya eejit? he fought in the easter rising. that did not make us free and militarily didnt do much to win our freedom. Its what happened in the aftermath.
Correct! It was a catalyst. And had he et al been placed in prison the matter would have died down. It was the Irishmen who had joined the BA in WWI that really gave the military edge to the war if independence.
The Fianna Fail party are the inheritors of Pearse's tradition. We are the party of the people, we feel their joy and pain. A FF'er never acts to better himself or herself, but rather to serve the people and curb profiteers. Look at Bertie Ahern and Biffo? Do you think they gained from political life? No! They could have made millions in private industry, given their genius, but decided to abandon wealth to serve the ideology of Pearse.
thank you for the reply, I can not say with as much certenty about what goes on on the outher side of the pond, as I am here in the us... and well I am sure you have your own problems with curption, it seem vary think paticeraly in kentecky where I live. and then there is our "beloved" war monger... this contry is in such a mess and whos folt is it, none outher than the citizens of the us.. no wonder the world is desgusted with us.
Indeed! Ideals held by the great ones are hijacked by those with self-interest at heart. All countries have selfish people in administration and the effect is corruption: the more powerful the state the more visible it is - even though we are powerless to stop it. Blair, Biffo, Bush are all the same ilk. Somany of my loved ones' were forced to emigrate and again it is the same. And we take in cheap labour for FF's globalist sponsors'. Politicans coannot not survive in the real world.
If only the gaidhlig people of Scotland had a hero to call our cause, we where once majority language, then the clearances, my people left the land and now only a few remain that speak our Scottish gealic.
All those against the E.U. I presume your going to return all the money? That'll be the £1 Ireland has put in and got £6 back. England puts in £6 and gets £1 back. Oh we have plenty of liars,bullies and hypocrits in England. Are you telling me there's non in Ireland? Ireland was neutral in World War 2. England stood alone and bankrupt itself. Every country has it's dark times,but listening to the Irish you'd think you lot were beyond reproach
Your post sums up all the Celtic races hate about your country. "England puts in £6 and gets £1 back." "England stood alone" during WWII. What planet are you living on?
UK is in the EU, not England. My father fought in WWII in the Scottish Borderers, and fought alongside the Royal Ulster Rifles in Normandy after D Day. England doesn't know what it feels like to stand alone. They have always been the oppressors and the bullies.
Scottish oil has paid off England's debts for too long.
Ok,the U.K. then,same thing. In fact you could include the whole Commenwealth. The thing is,NON OF THEM would have stood up to Germany in their own right,as England did. And wether you like it or not ENGLAND was head of the Empire. "They have always....oppressors and bullies" Bit of a sweeping statement,you should give examples if you want a sensible debate. And as for Scottish oil,if the income is so large why do ENGLISH tax payers subserdise Scottish taxpayers? Anyway,the oil is running out.
The UK and England are not the same thing and never have been. It is not possible to have a sensible debate with an Englishman who can't see that simple fact. That's the reason you've lost your Empire and your country is dying on it's feet.
England never at any time stood alone in WWII, nor did Britain. That was a clever myth. Our Empire stood with us, as did New Zealand, Australia
Stop replying to me then! It wasn't a clever myth,we were the only SERIOUS power willing to take on Germany. Our country may have it's problems but we pay our debts. We've only just paid of the U.S.A. for the loan took out during WW2! Last year we paid it off. Anyone else get a loan like that? No they didn't. You sound like Mugabe. It's all Englands fault,I as an Englishman am personally responsible for the slave trade,racism and all other countries ills. About time you all grew up.
The Commonwealth, of which England was a part, stood alone against Germany. Every battle the British fought was fought alongside imperial allies.
I salute the brave men from Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, Ceylon, Cyprus, Kenya, Palestine, Ghurkhas from Nepal, etc., etc., who all stood by us in our darkest hour.
Not to forget the disproportionate amount of Scots and Irish per population often pushed into the fiercest of battles.

They think they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have forseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools. the folls, the fools! -they have left us our fenian dead, and while Ireland hold these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.

"Beware of the risen people
Who shall take what ye would not give."
People ask why I feel Irish Republicanism is still relevant in a generally peaceful and prosperous country. Those two lines from Pearse sum my opinion up. Why should we as Irish men and women be part of a state from which our Irish forefathers have always had to prise their rights from reluctant British hands? Why should we be linked to a state from which we have to take what they would not give?

We will not just take ulster back, when the time is right, like the warriors of great antiquity; we shall annex The devil (Britain) just as Jesus Christ defeated him.
He went down into the abyss, then rose victorious. Ireland and its people are in the same boat, the boat has been underwater, capsizing and sinking for 800 years. The time for Revolution is nigh, victory is in the midst & with our hardened, wise, cunning ancestral nature that was evoked by thee,WE shall overcome them.

In fairness though, Parnell did engage in an adulterous affair. And the Irish people did as much slandering as the British. Although the British had previously tried to frame Parnell for something else with the 'Piggot Forgeries' and I think that would have been a better example for you to use. By all evidence, Casement probably was a homosexual and only a handful of historians dispute it anymore. And homosexuality was illegal in Oscar Wilde's time so it was within the law.

actually, he rather was a traitor considering at the time 95% of the irish volunteers were fighting alongside the brits in ww1 when pearse led this rebellion against them. it was also a rebellion that the people of dublin initially despised. furthermore, many of the rebels were teenage pupils of pearse, who he brainwashed into sacrificing themselves for something most irish people didnt want.
rory198 2 years ago
And I suppose you have taken into account the fact that most Irishmen did NOT fight for the British and thus the actions of the National Volunteers cannot be used as a reflection of the opinion of the majority of the Irish people. Secondly the use of the word 'initially' in your comment is quite unhelpful to the point you are trying to make....when you think about it. And how do you know most Irish people didn't want a rebellion? Online poll?
nallyterrace 2 years ago
@nallyterrace its a basic historical fact that most irish people didn't want a rebellion. the civilians threw fruit, vegetables and, in some rare cases, urine at the arrested rebels. thats how i know.
rory198 2 years ago
Ok so you're claiming that it's a historical fact that most Irish people didn't want a rebellion. So obviously you must have a piece of basic evidence to support that?
Yes, people in Dublin jeered the rebels as they were led through the streets. But no-one at the time was sure what exactly had happened. There was mass confusion as to what the fighting had all been about. Within 2 months though, Sinn Fein (the mistaken perpetrators) were the new political force in Ireland.

@jarsonist who didnt support the rebels in 1916? to begin with, there was the citizens of dublin whose city was thrown into chaos. there was the 100,000+ irish voluteers who joined with the brits in ww1 and were effectively, stabbed in the back, there were the families of the volunteers. even eoin macneill, who was in charge of the minority of the volunteers who didnt go to war was opposed to the rising. these are all facts. a better question would be: who did support them
corsellus 1 year ago
@corsellus Citizens of Dublin? Why then in the 1918 general election did Dubliners elect 9 Sinn Féin candidates out of a possible 10. The 100,000 members of the Irish Volunteers in the British army? Men who were lied to to get them to join, men who were used as cannon fodder, men who, if they were lucky enough to return, took up arms in the War of Independence. MacNeill? He only wanted it postponed and only after hearing the Aud was scuttled. The question is why shoneens like you still exist.
jarsonist 1 year ago
@jarsonist Mate think you got facts a wee bit wrong. the people of dublin spat and jeered at the rebels as they were led away by the brits. Whether you like it or not the majority of people saw the rising at the time as an annoyance.

Rose tinted spectacles are wonderful thing, the romantic notion of Pearse and the rest of the brave Irish rebels standing firm against the British during Easter week 1916 is in my opinion nonsense.

A poem Pearse published in 1909 entitled "A Mhic Bhig na gCleas" (Little Lad of the Tricks), in which he describes the kisses of a little boy being sweeter than the kisses of women. he was a pedo !
whiskydog777 2 years ago
while i'm not really a fan of Pearse's so called "poetry," it's not entirely fair to take the translation of a line from mhic bhig out of context. Historically, Pearse was apparently quite offended by the suggestion that the english translation could be taken as a romantic statement toward the boy rather than a yearning for the passion of the boys own relationships. That being said, from a period that produced men like Yeats, Pearse's self-consciously nationalist "poetry" rings rather hollow
IAmWanderingAengus 2 years ago
the line in question comes from a stanza that reads in english: "there is a fragrance in your kiss / That I have not found yet / In the kisses of women / Or in the honey of their bodies." In irish it would be much clearer that he means that the boy's passionate relationships (presumably with young women) have an energy that Pearse's mature relationships have not. The irish version reads: "Tá cumhracht i d'phóig / Nachar fríth fós líom. / I bpógaibh na mban / Ná i mbalsam a gcorp."
IAmWanderingAengus 2 years ago 2
the poem is meant to be a yearning after lost youth, although as i said before, i'm not actually a fan at all, but i do believe that it ought to be laid out clearly and seen for what it was.

Personally, I dont think that Pearse just sat their during the rising. Even if he did his amazing speeches must have inspired many young men to take up arms and fight for Ireland. And after all you wouldnt see Mr Obama fighting on the front lines of Afghanistan.

Pearse bequeathed to Ireland a violent political doctrine that has tore the heart out of our nation. The IRA is his child and one that should never have been borne.

Pearse was a great man in ways. But as a military leader a disaster. Just a blood sacrafice. More dead innocent. When he died he owed money to those shopkeepers who supplied his Irish-speaking school with provisions. It was said they were most upset by the death of Pearse - he would not be able to pay the bills!

The Fianna Fail party are the inheritors of Pearse's tradition. We are the party of the people, we feel their joy and pain.

They could have made millions in private industry, given their genius, but decided to abandon wealth to serve the ideology of Pearse.

Politicans coannot not survive in the real world.

All those against the E.U. I presume your going to return all the money? That'll be the £1 Ireland has put in and got £6 back. England puts in £6 and gets £1 back. Oh we have plenty of liars,bullies and hypocrits in England. Are you telling me there's non in Ireland? Ireland was neutral in World War 2. England stood alone and bankrupt itself. Every country has it's dark times,but listening to the Irish you'd think you lot were beyond reproach

Your post sums up all the Celtic races hate about your country. "England puts in £6 and gets £1 back." "England stood alone" during WWII. What planet are you living on?
UK is in the EU, not England. My father fought in WWII in the Scottish Borderers, and fought alongside the Royal Ulster Rifles in Normandy after D Day. England doesn't know what it feels like to stand alone. They have always been the oppressors and the bullies.
Scottish oil has paid off England's debts for too long.

Ok,the U.K. then,same thing. In fact you could include the whole Commenwealth. The thing is,NON OF THEM would have stood up to Germany in their own right,as England did. And wether you like it or not ENGLAND was head of the Empire. "They have always....oppressors and bullies" Bit of a sweeping statement,you should give examples if you want a sensible debate. And as for Scottish oil,if the income is so large why do ENGLISH tax payers subserdise Scottish taxpayers? Anyway,the oil is running out.

The UK and England are not the same thing and never have been. It is not possible to have a sensible debate with an Englishman who can't see that simple fact. That's the reason you've lost your Empire and your country is dying on it's feet.
England never at any time stood alone in WWII, nor did Britain. That was a clever myth. Our Empire stood with us, as did New Zealand, Australia

Stop replying to me then! It wasn't a clever myth,we were the only SERIOUS power willing to take on Germany. Our country may have it's problems but we pay our debts. We've only just paid of the U.S.A. for the loan took out during WW2! Last year we paid it off. Anyone else get a loan like that? No they didn't. You sound like Mugabe. It's all Englands fault,I as an Englishman am personally responsible for the slave trade,racism and all other countries ills. About time you all grew up.

The Commonwealth, of which England was a part, stood alone against Germany. Every battle the British fought was fought alongside imperial allies.
I salute the brave men from Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, Ceylon, Cyprus, Kenya, Palestine, Ghurkhas from Nepal, etc., etc., who all stood by us in our darkest hour.
Not to forget the disproportionate amount of Scots and Irish per population often pushed into the fiercest of battles.

No one said you were responsible for the slave trade, but England certainly had its fair
