Thomas Kent remains the only leader of 1916 whose remains haven’t been returned to the family. This is due to an embargo of British archives not to release details where he was buried in Cork prison for 100 years.

This Tuesday was the birthday of Constance Markievicz. Her father was an Anglo-Irish landlord, who provided free food at Lissadell House during the famine.

James Plunkett described the Irish people of 1914 as the “Risen People”.

According to Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore, the success of Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Ireland opened the door for a visit of William and Kate Windsor to Cork next year.
