1. Very powerful clip. Thanks for sharing

2. Very touching. Glad I saw that

3. He did live a full life. The only shame in it is that he didn’t live to see how much his and his companions deaths drove the public off the fence and towards nationalism and a revolution. I know history can be murky at times but it’s incredible to think that we’d still be like Scotland or wales today, disrespected and ignored by Johnson and nutjobs like Farage if it wasn’t for the actions of men like Nora’s dad.

4. You can still sense her sadness all those years later. Incredible people.

5. Wow. Fantastic clip. Makes it all so real.

6. James Connolly what a hero and great great man

7. Jeez he was only 47. He always seemed so old when I learned about him. Maybe I’m just catching up.
