ROBIN BURY of the Reform Movement failed to answer the question I asked as to what would have resulted if the Rising had not taken place (Irish Examiner letters, March 13).

PÁDRAIG Ó CUANACHÁIN’s letter (Irish Examiner, March 10) seeks clarification from Reform on some of the points he makes.

DR BRIAN MURPHY OSB, of Glenstal Abbey, states that “the Easter Rising, while not mandated by the normal voting process, became a mandatory obligation of democrats” (Irish Examiner letters, November 28).
