      To me this is just so disrespectful to the brave men and women of 1916. It's sad when celebrity just get's it all so very wrong and it's just another nail in the coffin of true Irish history which is so misunderstood or forgotten. As Pearse said, The fools, the fools, the fools...

      @@liamjpbrady And completely wrong and in my view disrespectful to the executed of 1916, what they stood for, who they fought against and full of incorrect supposed "facts" (in fact they are so wrong it would be laughable if it wasn't so bad) so you must also be completely devoid of knowledge around the Easter Rising and the aftermath and obviously not understand the irony of this spectacle and how offensive it is to people like me who absolutely love and adore these brave men and women. Look at James Connolly's last statement and if you still don't get it, there is no hope for you on the subject I'm afraid.

    As an immensely proud Irish-American, Grace is one of my dearest songs, taught it to my children (My daughter's middle name is Grace) as toddlers. Together as a family we traveled to Ireland and Northern Ireland and learned and walked the grounds of the GPO and Kilmainham Goal, me as a grand-child and namesake for a 1916 Uprising Survivor and my children, my son is also a namesake of his great grandfather. Fast forward to 2016 my son a Sgt. in the United States Marines Corps attended the 100th Anniversary celebration of the uprising as a member of then Vice-President Biden's security detail, walking the street toting a gun just like his Great Grandfather that day in 2016. I still get chills when I hear this song and yes I do tear up.

    I first heard this in Turkey in an Irish bar before a Celtic match. The bar plays it every time there is an Irish or Scottish Celtic match. I heard it in Glasgow in Argyle street a month ago it is such a great reminder of what went on at that time, I’m neither Scottish or Catholic but this is such a be beautiful song about a tragedy that it should resound with everyone.

      And that he got most of the details wrong.
      Grace was 28 years old when she married and was 67 years old when she died in 1955. She would have been 81 years old in 1969 had she lived until then and not many people born in 1888 like she was, did so.
      Joseph was 29 years old when they married and so was a year older than her, rather than the other way around.

      james o keeffe: He does need to have the story right, though. He probably took the incorrect information from what Jim McCann said. I have no idea where he got what he said, but it was very inaccurate.
      One other thing: Rod Stewart referred to 12 executions. There were 14 in Kilmainham, plus Thomas Kent in Cork Jail and Roger Casement in London.

      Pirate Commander, yes, several people have sent me videos of Celtic fans singing "Grace". Very impressive that they all seem to know all of the words, not just the chorus. It is touching to hear thousands of them singing about my relative.

English poeple don't know what all the trouble is about they would give your country back with a vote and every one happy. They give Scottish a vote to leave they don't give the English a vote to leave Scottish. Hopefully we be split in to our own country s and peace and recentment gone

    Here are the lyrics of the full song.
    As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
    I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
    From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
    Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
    Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
    They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
    With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
    There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
    Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
    The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land
    But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
    I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
    Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
    They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
    With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
    There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
    Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
    On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
    And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
    I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
    Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
    They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
    With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
    There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
    For we must say goodbye
