How sad that was your favourite memory being in Ireland! If ye have the opportunity to visit Ireland again go outside Dublin. Talk to locals in the small towns. I live in a small place in Galway (safe, friendly, soaked in history) but because we are around it we don't appreciate it.

Well sad as it was still needs to be heard never forget history of the uprising all the young irish brave lads who died fighting for the Irish freedom of all.....God love them all may Joseph & Grace dance along side the angels above in heaven each time this song is heard....let this moment linger.......

Beautiful but sad Makes me think of my Irish ancestors who came to Australia. All wonderful people

I understand where you come from. I too was moved when l heard this sad story for the first time by a lovely female guide during a visit to kilmainham jail.

Get a tour it will bring you to the time it all happened you will be taken back to the cruel conditions they had to live in they will bring you round the cells especially plunkets

It’s the Irish government who are putting tyranny on the Irish people

agreed i am a former squaddie from the 70s. i have so much respect for the irish. so what has happened to the irish spirit now...letting illegal migrants just walk in and do as they like.... fought against us all those years but seems to have given up now... just as we british are now as our island too is being over run and infested with the help of our fkn useless gov't

I have a “Grace” too, named after Grace Gifford and this song, she’s 10 now. It was an honour to name her Grace in memory of such a sad but touching event

Absolutely beautiful

Yes in the song he says he had to rise from his sick bed to join those in Dublin at the GPO understand that many of the leaders were there if you don't know the GPO is the Grand Post Office in Dublin the bullet holes are still visible. There were multiple rebels in various quadrants of Dublin and others in other areas and cities during the Easter Rising it was brave it was doomed but it was valiant

@@janetcallanan7020 Its General Post Office (GPO) not Grand Post Office and lets not forget also that Joe Plunkett died believing that he was really hated by the local Dublin people. Now that is sad.

For sure Jim McCann sings this beautifully but check out the version by Anthony Kearns also

rod steward sang it with emotion

We are proud of our history in Ireland 🇮🇪

I am Scottish such a beautiful song 😭 the truth ♥️ fact 👍 not fiction 👌💯 Scotland 👐🙏😇

is there a video of that?

Cheeky but like it sends shivers up the spine

@Ciaran MacDonaghDon’t get ‘the rangers’ and Celtic mixed up. Celtic have never had a sectarian policy for players or staff.

@Ciaran MacDonagh That’s you and me both.

@Ciaran MacDonagh What has his religion got to do with it?

As a Dundonian all I hear is a beautiful love song 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇹 so moving and emotional.

I am Scottish but have so much respect for the Irish who fought and won. God bless you

Good lad

Bless you ❤ 🇮🇪

I Know He Is.☘🇮🇪

well said Dory, an Irish lad here. I know a song that will make your day. Parcel of Rogues, sung by Luke Kelly.A brilliant song about our Celtic cousins (the Scots )and life lived under tyranny of the saxon overlords. Many say Luke is the best Irish folk singer,I say, no such thing as best of anything, just favourites and this is my favourite Luke song.Let me know what ya think.

I had the pleasure to meet Jim McCann in San Diego CA in the late 80's at the "Patriot Game", an Irish Pub. He was performing while I was serving the "spirits" as the bartender. Very grateful man to get to know.

The Gaels need to resist the second Plantation of Ireland! 🇮🇪💪

That is not true, sadly Ireland has never achieved the Irish Republic that Joseph Plunkett put his signature to, what do you think the Irish civil war was about?. Let's not also forget that Joseph and his 13 rebel comrades went to their graves believing that they were hated by the Irish people, which really is tragic.

@@Imyourhuckleberry01 Well, we’re hardly the golden city on the hill.

@@nbenefiel What on earth is that supposed to mean?

@@Imyourhuckleberry01 That most countries/people do not always achieve what the strive for but should keep striving.

Thank you baby 💙

Beautiful version out of Love song

Same here Jimmy and one of my favourite songs. Although I'm a gers fan.

Blessings of God on you decent people to say that !!

Thanks for letting us know that piece of History

Thank you I didn’t realise Muriel & Thomas got married. .I know it was going to be a double wedding with Grace & Joseph.

@@jonfishsorth1369 Muriel and Thomas married on 31st Jan 1912 and Muriel died on 9th July 1917. The couple had 2 children, Donagh and Barbara. Muriel was on holiday with Barbara when Muriel died at Skerries, however Donagh was in hospital at the time with a broken back. It was Grace that persuaded Muriel to go to Skerries for a short holiday and Muriel told Donagh that she would write to him everyday, which she did until her tragic death. That was the last time Donagh saw his mother at his hospital bedside.

Such a tragic story, RIP, gone but will never be forgotten ♡♡♡

no honor in what they did at a time when we were fighting germany and they were trying to kill other irish men in the army

Tears and pain.God bless 🇮🇪

Well here's a bit more learning for you, the man responsible for implementing the Easter Rising / Joseph Plunkett's CM's and executions was also a Lancastrian.

@@benmoriarty4853 This reply seems to be a bit obnoxious, to be honest. Was it meant that way?

@@user-zr3pj5tk7k No not at all, I was just saying that he was a Lancastrian (before the boundary changes) and he married a Yorkshire woman and is buried in York Minster and of course the British PM at the time was also a Yorkshireman. Now if I was to say "bloody northerners"...that might be obnoxious.

@@benmoriarty4853 Fair enough. I was thinking about all of the Brits and Irish that I have met over the decades. I must say that the Irish come top, with the Scots and Southerners at the bottom. I will keep reading/learning,.

We love beening irish

Gratias

Chris de Burgh who call himself Irish and he was born in Venado Tuerto also William Brown (also known in Spanish as Guillermo Brown or Almirante Brown) (22 June 1777 - 3 March 1857) was an Irish-born Argentine admiral. Brown's victories in the Independence War, the Cisplatine War and the Anglo-French blockade of the Río de la Plata earned the respect and appreciation of the Argentine people, and he is regarded as one of Argentina's national heroes. Creator and first admiral of the country's maritime forces, he is commonly known as the "father of the Argentine Navy so we have a big bond with each other also Chris de Burgh daughter Rosanna Diane Davison was crowned Miss World 2003.

And besides, we had an important Irish community here, which means that we have a bunch of Irish descendants here, hahaha. In fact, many people here celebrate St. Patrick Day. In addition to it, Ireland was the only European country that supported Argentina because of the Malvinas, I'm not trying to bring that debate, I only show you that both Ireland and Argentina, have been always linked in many ways along the history. And finally, Irish Rugby fans, were in favor and they even took to the streets claiming that Pumas deserve to take part in an important competition. I can tell you like music, Can't you? Let me tell you that I'm a blind person and I'm trying to learn English. Anyway... One of my tools for achieving my gol is to listen to Irish songs,. Music is an excellent way for absorbing a new language. Greetings my friend.@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817

Grace never married again she died in ranelagh in Dublin in the sixties

🌹💔🌹 💚🇮🇪💚

I'm English and agree 100%

Well said, I agree 💯👍😊

JM Plunkett fought for freedom - not some ideal of 'patriotism'. The freedom of people of flesh and blood, for their right of self determinism. When you fight you take the risk of dying. Plunkett would have accepted the truth of that. He took his risk and he died for it.

God bless you my friend

Thank you for your kind words,

So true my friend 👍☘️👍☘️

@@bernardmcmahon5377 Thank You. God bless. ☘️ 🇮🇪.

Look at what they died for. Our own government sold the Irish down the drain in the name of diversity. 1000s of 3rd world dregs arrive to our beautiful shores year after year

And willing to murder for it.

@@edeledeledel5490 What do you mean exactly, please elaborate, are you saying that they murdered innocent people..

Your grandad was a part? what a great memory to have.. I’m Belfast born and my mother would sing, “the flag that Joe McKelvey loved, is good enough for me.”

Good man Sydney, stand proud as an Irish Londoner in that great metropolis, just like Mick Lynch ❤

Glad you enjoyed it

Its not thr Easter rising...... its the irish rebellion against englands slavery..... religion at that time was irrelevant........

​@@bockariemansaray9196 By far the best version of this wonderful song...however, it is the "Easter Rising" and as for "Englands Slavery"...Wow hold on there...I seem to remember that the person responsible for illegally implementing Order 256 was a proud "Scottish" clansman? And wasn't the British PM at the time MP for East Fife, isn't that in Scotland? and therefore he was voted into power by the Scottish people not the English, the same man who ignored warmings in the HofC from Irish MP's like John Dillon. And wasn't the man calling publicly for James Connolly's execution an Irishman? And wasn't it the local Dublin population who spat on and swore at the rebels as they were being arrested? And of course, no one ever mentions to fact that Grace was thrown into prison by the Irish Free State for standing by the aims of the 1916 Proclamation that these brave men and women fought for in1916. The truth is we all have their blood on our hands to a greater or lesser extent, but it's still their blood on our hands. Shame on us all.

@@skippership7 scottland surrendered to england, becoming an english colony... to this very day...... scottland is english... scottland has a puppet master.
