We need to live up to the ideals of Proclamtion

Reflecting on the coming centenary of the 1916 Rising I got to thinking about the Proclamation. During the week we all heard various bits about a “new” Proclamation, what’s wrong with the old one?

Is “cherishing” all the children of the nation equally to be replaced with stuff about being the “best small country in the world to do business in”?

Before we even contemplate looking at a new Proclamation let’s try to live up to the old one, it can never be truly lived up to while some people live in houses, and others on the streets.
