First Military 1916 Dublin Parade in 37 years

Speaking of Ireland's Easter Rising, the first military parade in 37 years was held in Dublin yesterday to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the 1916 Rising.

RTE reports that 120,000 attended, and they have a bunch audio and video links. The BBC has some photos.

Meanwhile Pól Ó Muirí in today's Belfast Telegraph laments the revisionism applied to the heroes of yesteryear.
