On Easter Monday the 24th of April 1916, the leaders of the I.R.B (Irish Republican Brotherhood) who included Padraig Pearse, James Connolly, Thomas Clarke, Eammon Ceannt, Joseph Plunkett, Sean Mac Diarmada and Thomas Mcdonagh “marched some 1500 men onto the streets of Dublin to proclaim the establishment of the Irish Republic on the steps of the General Post Office”.1 The Rising was a bloody tale for Irish Nationalists, after six days of fighting and being heavily outnumbered by British troops, the Rising culminated in the leaders surrender to British forces.
