Quotations

"The executions at Kilmainham and Pentonville were the worst days’ work ever done by England to Ireland. Irish people who had taken no part in the revolt became permanently embittered and utterly alienated; before long the whole country was against English rule."(sligoheritage.com/archmark2.htm; photo Wikipedia)
