The Irish Proclamation As arranged, at 12:45 on Easter Monday, Pearse accompanied by an armed guard stood on the step outside the GPO and read the Proclamation. Though the occasion was momentous, the crowd were not interested. There were a few cheers but no-one really cared.
Easter Monday On the 24th of April, Easter Monday 1916, about 2,000 Irish Volunteers and 200 from the Irish Citizen Army occupied the General Post Office (GPO) as well as other important buildings in Dublin city. They proclaimed the Irish Republic, read the Proclamation and raised the Irish flag for the first time.
Our Proclamation The Proclamation expressed the hopes and plans of the revolutionaries. Its purpose was to declare that an independent Irish Republic had been established and that a temporary government had been appointed - i.e. the seven members of the Council.
The Proclamation of Ireland Ireland s national right to freedom and sovereignty was powerfully asserted. Though a tiny minority, the rebels claimed: Ireland through us summons her children to her flag and could thus prove itself worthy of its august destiny . This appeal for support sprang from their conviction that they were acting in the country s best interests. They didn t have much support from the public however.
Our Proclamation The Easter Rising was not as successful as the IRB had hoped it would be. The proclamation was not received as well as they has hoped it would be by the public. The seven signatories were executed.
