The site of the last stand of the 1916 Rebellion: developers want to tear most of it down. It is quiet this morning…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Background: <\/strong>As with Tara, where our heritage was torn up to be sold for profit, there is the same happeneing at the site of the last stand of the 1916 Easter Rising. It is been resisted and is in the courts at the moment. All was quiet at the site of the occupation this morning as I passed…\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is historic Moore Street
\nCradle of the Republic of the Anglo, Scot and Gael
\nSold out by the Free State
\nOur heritage is not for sale…
\nThe blood of heros washed these stones
\nThat developers want to tear down
\nAs our nations children sleep rough and die
\nOn the streets of Dublin town.<\/p>\n

But there are those who stand and fight for it
\nAgainst money makers greed
\nWho are allowed to build to make a profit
\nWhile homes are boarded up that we need.
\nThe ordinary folk of Ireland
\nGael Scot and Anglo: Irish all
\nShall fight for the heritage those who worship mammon do not value
\nLet us as a nation answer the call!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
