All around the world airports are being built and enlarged in countries which appear to realise the 'climate crisis' is just a load of nonsense. But not in poor, gullible Britain.

The local election results are as terrible for the Conservatives as feared and thanks to Reform they would have been lucky to have had only a 1997-style wipeout, says veteran pollster John Curtice.

start scrolling upwards until you hit the 13th image.
It shows a stall selling (or giving away ;o) ) religious stuff.
Take a look at the righthandside of the table.
Notice anything odd, out of place or illegal?
It is illegal to use the Irish flag in this fashion. Guinness got done for it once. Although this act symbolises the government's theft of 1916 in a very visual sense, it should not go without comment.
Done.
Great piece Paula.
Fantastic set of images - you really "captured" a lot of different angles on day and its meaning, its significance to different people and its actuality as an ordinary sunny day in Dublin.

In answer to the question Seán Healy was the youngest person to die on the republican side in 1916. He was a member of na Fiánna and serving as a courier to the 1st battalion at Phibsboro Bridge. He was shot by a British sniper at what's now Doyle's Corner, Phibsboro. He was 15.
This Easter Sinn Féin Átha Cliath, at the initiative of Cllr Nicky Kehoe, erected a plaque at the site to commemorate Seán Healy.
I really enjoyed looking at them. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Iosaf, looking at photos from the Civil War period, I get the impression there were a lot of underage soldiers on the FS side. Republican soldiers weren't really photographed much so you can't really tell on the anti-treaty side. In 1916 I recall hearing that in Boland's Mills there were several Volunteers around the 15-16 age group who mobilised but were told to go home. Does anyone know about the other outposts?
Apparently many of the soldiers in the British service "shot at dawn" during WWI were underage.
those guys in the suits going throught that guys pockets ? Outside the GPO ?
And Berties calling these guys the successors of Pearse and Connolly ?

Pictures of the National 1916 commemoration committees marking of the event on Easter Sunday . Despite the acres and acres of news time given over to demonising 32csm in the last 8 years not a single strand of the national media covered our parade , the only national alternative to the free state farce on the day . It saw for the first time ever branchmen frisking people outside the gpo on easter sunday as the proclamation was being read . Symbolic but unfortunately the cameras stayed turned off .
& Very thought-provoking. I admit to wondering at the picture of the aircraft in the sky oh behold the CIA rendition flights! then quickly corrected myself and realised it must have been Ryanair instead. Then I noted the difference in price between beers. Very thoughful Paula! Then the kids at the garden of remembrance, caused me to ponder - how many underage soldiers fought in 1916, the war of independence and then the civil war of 1922-1923? & then that most wonderful hat, of the Irish Citizen's Army's female officers. I admit to not knowing from which bird those plumes were plucked, perhaps it was a gazebo? . But I do remember that more than one 1916 player arrived in fancy dress, "the Rahilly" really looking forward to the bloody sacrifice and that one other (Plunkett) was almost shot by his own side on account of his accent. & for certain there was not 120,000 or even 100,000 ordinary Dubliners in attendance last Sunday. But I did get sentimental at the sight of the rheumy eyed old man in his felt hat, easter lilly and paisley scarf. At end it is somewhat ironic that the greatest display of military power seen in Ireland since the point of contention, has been that of the British army or at a push those who protected the visiting presidents of the USA, and even weirder to see such displays of very paltry national military power on an indymedia site. As many know Ireland would only ever defend herself from invasion or occupation by irregular means... & my thus last thought, silly, meandering, is the lack of fake-tan effect on the maniquins who dress the windows of Dublin's shops; the Lilly white skin... & paisley scarves
Lovely photoessay
