#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…

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:

THOMAS J. CLARKE

SEAN Mac DIARMADA

P. H. PEARSE

“The Stars Stand Up In The Air” by Thomas MacDonagh

The stars up in the air, The sun and the moon are gone, The strand of its waters is bare. And her sway is swept from the swan. The cuckoo was calling all day, Hid in the branches above, How my stóirín is fled away, 'Tis my grief that I gave her my love. Three things through love I see-- Sorrow and sin and death-- And my mind reminding me That this doom I breathe with my breath. But sweeter than violin or lute Is my love--and she left me behind. I wish that all music were mute, And I to all beauty were blind. She's more shapely than swan by the strand, She's more radiant than grass after dew, She's more fair than the stars where they stand-- 'Tis my grief that her ever I knew!

Greater than word in any age The care of God for Ireland still; Under His guidance we engage For Ireland now to work His will. We have no hate for Irishmen; We love our land from sea to sea; And heed no mark of creed or clan - Ireland, we claim, and Ireland free.

Thomas MacDonagh, 'Marching Song'

#OTD in 1998 – Bridget Dirrane, who was imprisoned with Kevin Barry and who canvassed for John F. Kennedy in the United States, celebrated her 104th birthday with news that she was to be featured in the new edition of the Guinness Book of Records.

Bridget Dirrane was the oldest native of Ireland’s Aran Islands and the second oldest person in Ireland. Éamon de Valera was the Irish political leader she most admired, but in a life touching three centuries, she met Pádraig Pearse, went on hunger strike in Mountjoy gaol, campaigned for John F Kennedy in Boston, and was the oldest recipient of an honorary degree, which earned her a place in the…

When the dark cow leaves the moor

Thomas MacDonagh and friend in a really pleasant, casual portrait. One thing we can be sure of is that this was taken no later than 1916, and as MacDonagh is mature, probably some time after 1900.

even though i kind of hate morgan llewelyn's 1916: a novel of the irish rebellion i have to admit it is the best example i have of a peak irish dark academia novel

examples:

the plot revolves around a teenage boy trying to raise enough money for a rifle and uniform while simultaneously freaking out because his final is coming up and he has to learn middle irish

lavish descriptions of the way joseph plunkett dresses

like 90% of the plot happens at st. enda's school

we see Headmaster Pearse in full portrait and very little of Commander Pearse. there's a lot of being stern and catching the boys smoking on the lawn

michael collins has a cameo but he's introduced as "my father's new secretary, don't mind him" and described as a lad who looks like he's burning the candle at both ends and i love that because no one would catch that it’s him except someone who knows that he worked as count plunkett's secretary

there's a lot of alcohol, like every scene someone is drinking a beer or whiskey or brandy or whatever.

even the schoolboys, like there's this part where they sneak a bottle into the dormitory and get caught by thomas macdonagh but he lets them off the hook because he understands

the connolly kidnapping is in there and the way it's written is legitimately terrifying. it’s like a lighthearted book for the most part but then, you’re like oh okay these people have the capacity to do great damage to those around them

there’s this whole plotline about pearse going to america to raise money on a lecture circuit and it’s very shady and clandestine

"i would die for cathleen ni houlihan" "but she's not real.”

there’s a scene where the boys are playing hurling in their school uniforms and their school uniforms are like these super constrictive white-starched shirts and collars and jackets and waistcoats and whatever so it’s difficult but none of them want to get in trouble and take their uniforms off

“a conspiracy of poets”

there are guns and gunpowder hidden in the basement

the main character is one of the lads who’s in the massacre at the wharf when they try to get german weapons

there’s a part where they put on a play based on the life of brian ború and they get so into it

being like cú chulainn in bravery and nobility and strength is like this big motif but it’s hilarious because cú chulainn was also a crazy person

a good reflection of the whole situation at st. enda’s tbh

they were brave and noble and strong but also wildly misguided

and that’s what i take away from this novel
