Lot of Americans going over. This is the 90th anniverasry of the uprising by the Irish on Easter day 1916. Several big auctions in Dublin this week of items relating to it. Selling for thousands, so dig out the attic or celler ! |

This ersatz attempt to reclaim traditional republicanism is too little too late. |
