"the Irish people considered it water under the bridge"

Once again you clearly demonstrate your utter ignorance of the subject. Over 20 new books were published last year alone. The country has been awash with memorial dedications to the fallen. Art, Literature, drama, music have all paid homage over the last few months to say nothing of the Government involvement. Last week and this there are ceremonies each day at Kilmainham Jail to remember those executed. In 2015 Thomas Ceannts remains were given a state funeral reinterred in Cork at a ceremony attended by the President Michael D Higgins and the Taoiseach Enda Kelly. Ask Jim how many programmes on the TV and radio have been given over to it.

Idiot.
