Watch Irish kids discuss what they know about the 1916 Rising

This year everyone in Ireland is commemorating the events of 1916.

It is a vital part of Irish history and plays an important role in the story of how Ireland became a Republic.

But what do the young people of Ireland in 2016 know about the Easter Rising?

The people at Youth Tuber have released as video with kids of today discussing 1916.

What the Rising was, why it happened and how we should celebrate it?

While it had nothing to do with Easter eggs and it happened a little shy of 1,000 years ago, most of them have a fair idea of what the 1916 Rising was and have grasped the gist of it.

Their history teacher will be only delighted.
