Quotes from the Rising

"...the British would not shell the city, as by doing so they would be injuring their own supporters." - Thomas MacDonagh, one of the seven signatories of the Proclamation of the Republic.

However, we the Irish people will remember over Easter the brave sacrifice that you and the rest of the rebels showed in the face of the British murder and carnage.
