“The Defenders of this Realm have worked well in secret and in the open.
They think that they have pacified Ireland.
They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half.
They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything;
but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace”.
Padraig Pearse
