Poet, Barrister, Writer, Teacher, Revolutionary, Political Activist, Nationalist, Patrick Pearse was a signatory and reader of the 1916 Proclamation. His speech at the grave of O' Donovan Rossa was a game changer no matter how you measure it. I remember picking up a book once when wandering through a bookstore in a far and distant place which had a poem of his inside and going "Wow" could they not see it coming. Michael Sheils here reads one of them, "The Mother". I believe there is a connection between Pearse's father and the church in Kilmessan but should have checked it out more fully before I started writing. Michael Sheils has his own blog over at "sherifffrombnavan" just click on the link to the right. also other videos posted further back Also on youtube! Patrick Pearse, for info check out wikipedia. Worth the trip!
