Nope it’s about a whole host of political parties, trying to claim they are the descendants of those that were involved in the events, of Easter 1916. Then trying to leverage that into votes at the general election that will follow soon after

The amount of outrage yesterday that various politicians were trying to drum up yesterday after Enda Kenny supposedly said he was going to rewrite the Proclamation of Independence was ridiculous.
Of course he was just referring to a project for schools, but that didn’t stop everyone from flipping the lid and roaring “over my dead body” etc.
And that’s why I don’t venture over to the Journal much…
