Two sides of one coin.
Issued for the 50th anniversary of the 'Rising of Easter', the commemorative ten shilling coin paired Patrick Pearse on one side with the dying Cú Chulainn on the other, linking revolutionary nationalism with the mythology and symbolism that inspired it.

It should go without saying that the restriction, control and reversal of mass-immigration into Ireland ultimately requires the repossession of the northeast of our country from the clutches of the so called “United Kingdom.”
@Tish000238142 These anglos and ziohazards like Robinson, or Levant keep coming to Ireland thinking that we're in this "one struggle" together, trying to utilise our rage against the system to their own advantage, and putting our flag alongside theirs as if we're brothers in arms. Ridiculous.
@Caoimhinn55 Kneecap fans, especially northern ones, are a similar breed to the the Reddit types that embody English perceptions and stereotypes of Ireland and say "feck". Their music is degenerate dogshit.
@GaelicFuturist I'll never understand why the blueshirts decided to use an edited version of the false "St Patrick's Saltire". Regardless, Ireland needed, and does need, a more unique form of governance than what the blueshirts were offering, and and the Ailtirí were offering that.
Irish freedom fighter Padraig Pearse was executed on the 3rd of May 1916. These were his final words to his mother after receiving Communion:
'I just received Holy Communion. I am happy, except for the great grief of parting from you. This is the death I should have asked if God had given me the choice of all deaths—to die a soldier’s death for Ireland and for freedom.
We have done right. People will say hard things of us now, but later on will praise us. Do not grieve for all this, but think of it as a sacrifice which God asked of me and of you. Good-bye again, dear mother. May God bless you for your great love for me and for your great faith, and may He remember all you have so bravely suffered. I hope soon to see papa, and in a little while we shall be all together again. I have not words to tell you of my love for you and how my heart yearns to you all
I will call to you in my heart at the last moment.
Your son,
Pat'
Y tras la Sacra Entrada en Fiume, el Poeta de Italia Gabriele D'Annunzio mandó grabar en las puertas de la ciudad: "somos de otra patria y creemos en los héroes".
