Todays Irish Times has a nice supplement on Easter 1916. Written in association with the Department of Education it is something that most Irish people could find useful not just school kids.
It discusses the background of the Rising, information about each of the men who signed the Proclamation of Independence, a day by day guide to the events, the aftermath, and a section on how the current political parties claim the 1916 legacy. There is also a glossy map of the battle sites. It's well worth purchasing, especially as the media will be full of discussion about 1916 and its impact over the next few weeks.

I allow people to comment anonymously, many blogs dont. If you want to express an opinion and throw insults my way but are afraid to back up your statements with an ID at least back up your opinions and insults with a logical argument.
Unfortunately due to spammers and people posting libel comments I've turned on moderation and just deleted the spam comments.
