It is a shame on Britian that they executed Men who rebelled against us who wore uniforms and stood thier ground . I am British but I turn my head away from what happened on that day .

Pearse was a clown. Guys like Connolly and Griffiths knew where Ireland was going. Shame it never got there

@GlasgowCeltic88 words of a scotsman :)

@bozimo1 I totally agree.

Oh they all knew that they were going to lose the Rising, even if the thing had been carried out without a hitch and they had succeeded in securing Dublin, they never would have made it out . The British would have burned the city to the ground rather than have the rebels secure a stronghold.
IIRC, both Connolly and Pearse are on record stating that they knew that they would be executed, and that their deaths would inspire the people rise in their place.
Brave men.

Brave men & women all...Up the Ra and freedom for Ireland...

@bozimo1 actually in a kind of messed up way, it was the executions which led to widespread support for the rebellion, so who knows? may never have got freedom without it. can at least be content knowing these men knew exactly what awaited them and persevered regardless. hopefully i can be as courageous should i ever be tested in a similar fashion.
