Would just like confirmation of your Bernard Manning-like contempt for the Irish people
I came back from Liverpool yesterday to six invitations to talks and exhibitions by researchers and commemorating the Rising as a major event in Irish history
Our television and newspapers are still carrying articles and programmes on the subject on a daily basis, and will be into the foreseeable future.
The International Ballad Conference in Limerick in July is dedicating a large part to The Rising and the same team that organised a two year long national project on Child Ballads, Aileen Lambert and Mick Fortune, backed by the National Library, have now embarked on a similar one on on this subject, several of the singers involved being regular contributors to this subject.

Do you honestly believe that such efforts would be put into celebrating "a contemptable joke" and "murder".
Don't expect a response to this - just puting your position into context.
