Jim,
Happy to concede that your priest is Irish, which makes Keith's backers a philosophy student and a journalist-cum-novelist -

No.
A university lecturer in philosophy, and an Irish Times correspondent are my two examples of Irish people who believe that the rising was wrong.

I am sure they are representative of the views of many Irish people, and I quoted them because you keep claiming that the whole nation celebrates rising.
It does not.
You were wrong again.
