I've got very little time for idiots who quote tired, overworked quotes which they think are astonishingly pithy and clever.
For the uninitiated, the words 'Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.' were the climax of a eulogy given at the funeral of the IRB leader Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, by Patrick Pearse in 1915. The speech was clever and inspirational undoubtedly, but I have a lot of misgivings about Pearse (frankly at this distance he looks like a bit of a fruitcake) and O'Donovan was an absolute sh1t who spent the second half of his life hiring other fools to do his dirty work for him. Of all the 1916 leaders, Connolly is head and shoulders above the others in my opinion. Whether 1916 was actually necessary or even useful, I have my doubts.
