Patrick Henry Pearse (also known as Pádraic or Pádraig Pearse; Irish:Pádraig Anraí Mac Piarais; An Piarsach; 10 November 1879 – 3 May 1916) was an Irish teacher, barrister, poet, writer, nationalist and political activist who was one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in 1916. Following his execution along with fifteen other leaders, Pearse came to be seen by many as the embodiment of the rebellion.
Early life and influences
Pearse and his brother Willie and sister Margaret were born at 27 Great Brunswick Street, Dublin, the street that is named after them today. It was here that their father, James Pearse, established a stonemasonry business in the 1850s, a business which flourished and provided the Pearses with a comfortable middle-class upbringing. Pearse's father was a mason and monumental sculptor, and originally a Unitarian from Birmingham in England.
Pearse grew up surrounded by books. His father had had very little formal education, but was self-educated; he had two children Emily and James, from his first marriage (two other children died in infancy). His second wife, Margaret Brady, was from Dublin, and her father's family from County Meath were native Irish speakers. The Irish-speaking influence of Pearse's great-aunt Margaret, together with his schooling at the CBS Westland Row, instilled in him an early love for the Irish language.

In 1915 he joined the IRB. He was co-opted onto their Supreme Council and the Secret Military Council. Pearse’s graveside oration at O’Donovan Rossa’s (fenian) funeral in 1915, ended with the much quoted words, ‘Ireland unfree shall never be at peace’, and was influential in the build up to the Easter Rising.
Pearse played an active role in the subsequent preparations for the Rising: arranging for the landing of German arms on the Aud; negotiating with Connolly; instructing and sending despatches to the volunteers; lulling the British authorities and deceiving Eoin O’Neill. He also wrote at length to justify and to explain the reasons for an insurrection. He committed the ...

Pearse played an active role in the subsequent preparations for the Rising: arranging for the landing of German arms on the Aud; negotiating with Connolly; instructing and sending despatches to the volunteers; lulling the British authorities and deceiving Eoin O’Neill. He also wrote at length to justify and to explain the reasons for an insurrection. He committed the Gaelic League to action. His declaration that the Gaelic League was a political body led to the resignation of Dr. Douglas Hyde. On the 23 April, the Military Council appointed him Commandant-General of the Army of the Irish Republic and President of the Provisional Government, which was to be proclaimed the next day.
During Easter week Pearse served at the rebellion headquarters, the General Post Office (GPO), Dublin. He along with six other signatories signed the ‘Proclamation of the Irish Republic’, which he as Chairman of the Provisional Government read to the public on the 24 April, 1916. This signalled the beginning of the Easter Rising. Pearse and fourteen other leaders, were executed by firing squad after the Rising. Another leader, Sir Roger Casement was hanged in London in Aug 1916.

You never seem to finish What you started out to say Is this a nervous breakdown Coming up my way It's simple and anaemic You have tumbled, now you're down Everything has broken up And our friends don't come around Let me open your horizons Let me widen in your eyes You sank me when I anchored You take me by surprise Call me when you're lonely Ae can always compromise You don't own me but I love you I love what's in your eyes You never seem to finish What you started out to say Is this a nervous breakdown Coming up my way I'm charmed and alarmed By the pace of it all You give me angry reaction And no place to fall Call me when you're lonely We can always compromise You don't own me but I love you
MacManus was well acquainted with many the revolutionary figures of the time and was soon appointed a board member of Scoil Éanna in Rathfarnham by his friend Patrick Pearse. Pearse often stayed with MacManus in Mountcharles on visits to Donegal... .
And yes, that was those Pearses, as confirmed by a double stone plaque on the wall commemorating the revolutionary brothers Patrick and Willie in the house where they grew up.
There’s also something else that ended at the Chicago convention of 1968... This was an immense force in the modern history of our people – Daley embodied something at least as significant for the Irish as Patrick Pearse or Éamon de Valera ever did ... .
The rebellion seemed a disaster for the independence movement ... The leaders of the 1916 uprising were shot after being court-marshalled, with the barrister Patrick Pearse so badly wounded that he died strapped to a chair. Yet the executions backfired.
... from the Shannonside radio station commentator in the pressbox at Pearse Park as the game neared its conclusion which should give a very good indication of the impact of the St Patrick’s clubman.
23 and 23a Pearse SquareJessicaDoyle... The square was renamed in honour of Irish revolutionary leader Patrick Pearse in 1926; the street on to which it fronts, previously Great Brunswick Street, had been similarly renamed two years earlier.
when today's Irish parents consider names for their babies, they appear to be avoiding names of the past like Patrick, but not its brother Paddy... But this article is not about Saint Patrick. It is about the millions of other Patricks.
"But we have to study this now ... Separately, Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty has defended his party's decision to proceed with its St Patrick's Day engagements in Washington ... Discusses Sinn Fein's decision to go to the White House on St.Patrick’s Day ... .
