We recognise people like Tom Kettle and Francis Ledwidge, George Fitzmaurice and Thomas McGreavy. These were very important figures, poets who wrote about World War 1. We will have to do more about that.

I agree with Senator Bradford that we must look at and by advised by the subject rather than be imprisoned by it. That might be a good way to sum up this period. We recognise that the ancestors of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin were in the GPO and were all connected at that time. The Labour Party was there too, through the Citizens Army.
