The plan for the Irishrebellion was drawn up by the IrishRepublican Brotherhood Military Council who had also approved and signed the Proclamation of the Irish Republic on 17th April 1916, the day before the Easter Rising in Dublin.
On Easter Monday 24th April 1,000 Irish men and women from the Irish Citizen Army and Irish Volunteers marched into Dublin to attempt to overthrow the British from Dublin and announce the Proclamation of the Irish Republic.
Irish men and woman of the rebellion marched through the streets of Dublin taking command of specific buildings across the city.
The IrishRebellion of 1798 or 1798 rebellion as it is known locally, was an uprising in 1798, lasting several months, against the British establishment in Ireland.
The opposition of the Catholic Church in Ireland to the expected rebellion was secured by the establishment of Maynooth College and seminary in 1795 and it was, barring a few individual exceptions, firmly on the side of the Crown throughout the rebellion.
The resulting effect was that Irish politics in the 19th century was steered away from the unifying vision of the United Irishmen, encouraged by Unionists, Dublin Castle, and exploited by politicians such as Daniel O’Connell, towards a sectarian model which has largely endured to the present day.
