Re: Re: Irish symbols, monuments, graves to our country

The British detested the rebels squatting outside their beloved Dublin Castle. The rebels led an attack on the Castle but fell back into the City Hall. Sean Connolly, the first rebel to fire a shot was the first rebel to be killed in the rising. Before Sean left Liberty Hall he jokingly told Bill O Brien (friend of Connolly’s) “I’ll be dead in an hour”. He was wrong…he died an hour and fifteen minutes later.
