Nice oration done by actor Edward Cosgrave. Like your choice of Seamus Ennis on pipes as well. The wind adds a fantastic dimension of realism to this piece.
Why leave out the Irish language part at the start of the oration. Pearse didn't! "No free merely, but Gaelic as well", in his own words. Why prefer Cromwell's language to the Irish language?
I am from Argentina and would have never learned what is said in this moving speech, which I will give my students to read and listen to, if it were in Irish, for I do not know the language. As English is a lingua franca, the people in the world can read this, listen to this speech, and understand and feel the tremendous emotion the speaker puts in his words. It is so moving. I learned English at Saint Ethnea's, a school in Argentina, a school formerly run by the Sisters of Mercy. I learned about the Irish culture and I love Ireland. So much so, that I visited Ireland and fell in love with the country and the people. I stayed at Dundrum D Dublin 14 at the Conways',, and also in Malahide. I travelled around the Republic -from Dublin to Galway and from Cork to Belfast. I also visited the Aran Island and bought an Aran. I love The Fields of Athenry by The Dubliners, by the way. My heart is with the beautiful Republic of Ireland. (When Irish Eyes are Smiling... )

Yeah, Irish with sub titles would be best.
