An excellent choice of image too, showing the surrender by Padraig Pearse and Elizabeth O’ Farrell to British forces, represented by General Lowe and Major de Courcy-Wheeler, his staff officer.
As a youngster, one of the first books I read on Irish history was Tim Pat Coogan’s ‘Ireland In The Twentieth Century’. Here’s the cover. Look at the feet of Elizabeth O’ Farrell above, and then look at the bookcover.
Best of luck to all involved with the meeting, I look forward to attending.

Fascinating piece of airbrushing. Full marks for spotting it.
Photo taken next door to Tesco’s supermarket on Parnell St, and not outside Conways pub as he would like you to believe. Yes John Conway is one of those on the closed unelected private committee who hold the lease for our National Monument on Moore St.
Who owned that pub in the seventies, was the name des coogan?
Well spotted – the airbrushing.
