    May Joseph Grace and Baby Plunkett rest in eternal peace. And may the green sod of Erin lay gently on their souls

    Im a protestant from a very loyalist area in belfast. I grew up in the troubles and was badly effected by it all.
    What i did was educate myself on the irish history and found the truths. I left loyalist bands and change my ways. I want all us irish born to put as much of the pasts behind us as we can and respect each other going forward.
    We all have a huge battle ahead.
    The Crown treated the irish like scum and invaded. Black and tans were evil dirt.
    Yes im a very proud irish man as i know the facts.
    God bless all of this island.
    Any nasty bitter comments youll be blocked and ignored keyboard warriors

    It truly is an Irish love tale and one that brings many to tears upon hearing the story behind it. Everytime its played it still has that emotional impact but also fills many an Irish heart with bursting pride. Brilliant as always Davy. Go raibh maith agat 🇮🇪💚🍀✊

    Another sad thing is that the Plunkett family did not accept Grace as Joseph's widow. Grace never married after Joseph's death and they are both burried at Glasnevin Cemetry, as many other irish heroes.
    Addendum: Grace came from a Protestant family, Joseph was a devout catholic and she converted to catholicism.

    This is one of the most beautiful and tragic stories in Irish History. So many brave men and women were murdered by the british. The british empire has so much blood on their hands, and so much to answer for. I hope to live to see the day they pay for their crimes.
    Thank you, Davy for all your hard work and for keeping the memories of our beloved Ireland alive.

    Never heard the song, but if it had tangential relation to the Rising, probably won't be happy.

    So I live in Nebraska in the United States and I am in my high school’s band but we don’t have any orchestra, so are there any rebel songs you know of that would work for us?

      Like a Brass band: saxophones, trombones, tubas, clarinets, baritones, mellophones, and clarinets.
      And I myself play a Trombone. And thank you and God Bless You

      I think it may be from the film "Michael Collins" (with Liam Neeson & Alan Rickman) but it's been so long since I've seen it, I'm not completely certain.

    I don't like you but you need to do better. These stories need more weight than a 4 minute skirting.
    Plan some longer, detailed stories. This all seems half baked.
    Read us a book, not a post it note.
