Kevin Myres in the Irish Times on thuresday asked 5 questions saying that no one answered them. So here I will attempt to answer them.

What right had the 1916 insurgents to kill anyone?
Why had none of the signatories of the Proclamation ever stood for parliament?
How could they call the butchers of Belgium “gallant allies”?
