"Having just spent 8 days in Ireland even I was surprised by the amount of coverage that has been given to the commemoration of the 1916 Rising.
For example on multi-storey buildings in Dublin the whole side of some had been covered in drapes with the Proclamation displayed. In Athenry the lampposts displayed portraits of the men executed. There were too many to recount them all here."
