Very interesting Ger. Woud you like to tell us a little about the man who wrote this famous song, and maybe the feelings that inspired it? I have heard various stories. One was about the train being honoured carrying the bodies, and there being a memorial service outside the GPO in Dublin.

On the other hand I know several people who were living in Dublin at the time and they all say they can't remember anything about it particularly.
