#OTD in 1916 – Approximately 1,000 copies of The Proclamation of the Irish Republic are printed in Liberty Hall in a print office set up by James Connolly.

The proclamation would be read by Pádraig Pearse outside the General Post Office on Sackville Street (now called O’Connell Street) on Monday 24th April. The proclamation was printed secretly on an old and poorly maintained Wharfedale Stop Cylinder Press in the printing office that had been set up by James Connolly in the basement in the original Liberty Hall in Beresford Place, Dublin. All seven…

The Irish language is so cool imo. I mean, all the remaining Celtic languages are cool but I have a soft spot for Irish specifically

There's this feature of initial mutations where the initial sound of a word can change because of grammar. There's a bunch of them and I would probably never learn them all but like

The word for pen is "peann" (initial sound /pˠ/). Through lenition (weakening) it becomes "pheann" (/fˠ/) and through eclipsis (darkening?) it becomes "bpeann" (/bˠ/)

Those are not the only initial mutations and they can even happen in words beginning with vowels AND proper names. Éire is the name of the island, the official name of the state is Poblacht na hÉireann. Pádraig becomes Phádraig with lenition, bPádraig with eclipsis.

Welsh does this too to my knowledge but I find the Irish habit of keeping the old letters around and just adding more letters more endearing. The Welsh actually change the letters to account for the sound change!?

POBLACHT NA hÉIREANN

THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE IRISH REPUBLIC TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND

IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN:

In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.

Having organised and trained her manhood through her secret revolutionary organisation, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and through her open military organisations, the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army, having patiently perfected her discipline, having resolutely waited for the right moment to reveal itself, she now seizes that moment and supported by her exiled children in America and by gallant allies in Europe, but relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full confidence of victory.

We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Irish people. 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. Standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms in the face of the world, we hereby proclaim the Irish Republic as a Sovereign Independent State, and we pledge our lives and the lives of our comrades in arms to the cause of its freedom, of its welfare, and of its exaltation among the nations.

The Irish Republic is entitled to, and hereby claims, the allegiance of every Irishman and Irishwoman. The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien Government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past.

Until our arms have brought the opportune moment for the establishment of a permanent National Government, representative of the whole people of Ireland and elected by the suffrages of all her men and women, the Provisional Government, hereby constituted, will administer the civil and military affairs of the Republic in trust for the people.

We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of the Most High God, Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, inhumanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline, and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.

Signed on behalf of the Provisional Government:

"Ireland that has wronged no man, that has injured no land, that has sought no dominion over others. Ireland is treated today among other nations of the world as if she was a convicted criminal. If it be treason to fight against such an unnatural fate as this, then I am proud to be a rebel and shall cling to my rebellion with the last drop of my blood.” - Sir Roger Casement. Diplomat, Humanitarian Activist, Poet, Irish Nationalist, Gaelic League member, Chief of Staff of the Irish Volunteers and One of the 16 executed rebels of the 1916 Easter Rising

Subjugated by the British in 1801 (though attempts had been made for centuries before that, what with Ireland’s strategic position between Britain and the New World, and the Protestant British had taken up residence in earnest by 1601), the Irish first gained some self-governance in 1922 with the creation of the Irish Free State, with the northeastern six counties remaining part of Britain.  The southwestern 26 counties officially became a republic in 1949, and as we all know, the division between the 26 and the 6 has caused a great deal of trouble - and still does to this very day.

DO MHUINTIR NA hÉIREANN.

A FHEARA AGUS A MHNÁ NA hÉIREANN: in ainm Dé agus in ainm na nglún a chuaigh romhainn agus óna bhfuair sí a seanoideas mar náisiún, tá Éire, trínne, ag gairm a clainne faoina bratach agus ag bualadh buille ar son a saoirse.

Tar éis di eagar agus oiliúint a chur ar a cuid fear trí mheán a heagraíochta réabhlóidí rúnda, Bráithreachas Poblachtach na hÉireann, agus trí mheán a heagraíochtaí míleata oscailte, Óglaigh na hÉireann agus Arm Cathartha na hÉireann, tar éis di a féinsmacht a fhoirbhiú go foighneach, tar éis di fanacht go seasmhach le teacht an lae chirt, beireann sí anois ar an bhfaill agus, le cabhair óna clann atá ar imirce uaithi i Meiriceá agus ó chomhghuaillithe calma san Eoraip, ach ag brath sa chéad áit ar a neart féin, buaileann sí agus lán-dóchas aici go mbainfidh sí an bua.

Dearbhaímid gur ceart ceannasach dochloíte é ceart mhuintir na hÉireann chun seilbh na hÉireann agus chun dála na hÉireann a stiúradh gan srian. Níor chealaigh an forlámhas a d'imir cine agus rialtas eachtrannach ar feadh i bhfad an ceart sin, ná ní féidir é a chealú go deo ach amháin trí dhíothú mhuintir na hÉireann. I ngach glún dhearbhaigh muintir na hÉireann a gceart chun saoirse agus flaitheas an náisiúin: sé huaire le trí chéad bliain anuas dhearbhaíodar é faoi arm. Ag seasamh dúinn ar an gceart bunúsach sin agus á dhearbhú arís faoi arm os comhair an tsaoil, fógraímid leis seo Poblacht na hÉireann mar Stát Ceannasach Neamhspleách, agus cuirimid ár n-anam féin agus anam ár gcomrádaithe comhraic i ngeall lena saoirse agus lena leas agus lena móradh i measc na náisiún.

Tá ceart ag Poblacht na hÉireann ar dhílseacht fhir agus mhná na hÉireann agus éilíonn sí an dílseacht sin. Ráthaíonn an Phoblacht saoirse chreidimh agus saoirse shibhialta, cearta cothroma agus deiseanna cothroma don uile shaoránach, agus fógraíonn sí gur rún di sonas agus séan an náisiúin go hiomlán agus an uile pháirt di a bhaint amach agus í chomh ceanúil céanna ar chlann uile an náisiúin agus gan beann aici ar na difríochtaí a chothaigh rialtas eachtrannach go cúramach agus a dheighil mionlach ón móramh san am atá thart.

Nó go mbaine ár n-airm uain chaoithiúil amach le haghaidh bunú Rialtais Náisiúnta bhuain a bheidh ionadaíoch de mhuintir uile na hÉireann agus a thoghfar le vótaí a cuid fear agus ban uile, riarfaidh an Rialtas Sealadach a bhunaítear leis seo gnóthaí sibhialta agus míleata na Poblachta ar iontaobhas don phobal.

Cuirimid cúis Phoblacht na hÉireann faoi choimirce Dhia Mór na nUilechumhacht agus impímid a bheannacht ar ár n-airm, agus guímid nach dtarraingeoidh aon duine i seirbhís na cúise sin easonóir uirthi le meatacht, le mídhaonnacht ná le slad. In uair seo na cinniúna, ní foláir do náisiún na hÉireann, trína misneach agus a dea-iompar, agus trí thoil a clainne iad féin a íobairt ar son leas an phobail, go dtuillfidh sí an réim ró-uasal is dán di.

Arna shíniú thar ceann an Rialtais Shealadaigh:

Tomás Ó Cléirigh

Tomás Mac Donnchadha

Éamonn Ceannt
