This is a painting of sixteen outstanding rebels men and women who defied an unsympathetic establishment in their struggle for self-determination. Through the centuries these rebels Protestant and Catholic, rich and poor endured imprisonment, experienced exile to Australia or the U.S.A., or gave their lives, all in the fight for freedom. These men and women represent only a few of Ireland’s rebels, over the centuries countless others, both famous and unknown, have added their bright sparks to Ireland’s inextinguishable flame of freedom. ‘When my country takes her place among the nations of the world, then and only then, let my epitaph be written’.
