FEATURE: On the #1916Rising anniversary, these are the stories of the 7 signatories

Tony Cuddihy

Last month we brought you our popular series on the seven signatories of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic.

Now, on the calendar centenary of the Easter Rising, we bring you all the articles in one place.

Éamonn Ceannt, Thomas Clarke, James Connolly, Seán Mac Diarmada, Tomás MacDonagh, Pádraig Pearse and Joseph Mary Plunkett are all featured, from their early lives to the roles they played in the battle against British rule.

If you didn’t catch them the first time around, we hope you enjoy them now.
