WHO DIED FOR IRELAND
5th MAY, 1916
go ndéana dia trógaire ar a anam.

"no man can claim authority
to barter away the immutable
rights of nationhood; for irishmen
have fought, suffered, and died,
in defence of those rights.
and thank god, irishmen will always
be found, to snatch up the torch
from teh slumbering fire, to hold
it alof as a guiding light, and to
succeeding generation."
