Mr. Tony McCarthy well known author/editor and lecturer in UCC.
The 1916 Proclamation states: “In every generation the Irish people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty; six times during the past three hundred years they have asserted it in arms.” True of false? How anxious for independence were the nine generations who lived between the death of the Great O’Neill in 1616 and the death of Patrick Pearse in 1916? An attempt is made to answer this question during a quick gallop through 300 years of Ireland’s bloody history. You won’t be bored!
