Keep in mind that during the 1950s murder in this country was nigh-non-existent. Now, one cannot go a week without hearing about an atrocity on the streets of Ireland.

Yeats, Joyce, Pearse, Clarke, Mac Diarmada, Connolly, MacDonagh, Plunkett, Ceannt, Borúmha, Colmcille, St. Brendan, Heaney, John B. Keane, Wolfe Tone, Wilde, Emmet, Meagher, Owen Roe, Hugh O'Neill & more. What kind of horrid defeatism is this?
