I fully expect the government to make a dogs dinner of this.

-------
A reference to the executions of 1916 leaders and a photograph of IRA volunteers were removed from a leaflet launching the Government's programme of centenary events last November.

The leaflet and 'Ireland Inspires' video were criticised for not having any direct reference to the Rising but including the Queen of England and Bob Geldof.

....And to and fro in my dreams I go
and I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled, oh REBEL dead
When you feel in the Foggy Dew

Should remove Pearse and Co. as not to offend.
Those terrorists would be a blight on the 1916 celebrations.

[foxcommander]

They are going to remove the spire on O'Connell street at the cost of 500,000 for 2 weeks to make the place more authentic.
That's what the priority is these days eh and where tax money is going.

I wonder did the people of 1916 shop at footlocker or if the 1916 leaders send for Supermacs during the GPO siege?

[AZOffaly]

Jesus Fox. You outdo yourself.

I want to see McAleese's 'Wow' to the Queen's cupla focal replayed over and over on big screens just so we know what these fellas died for.
