From the Easter Rising of 1916, signed by members of the Bolands Mill Garrison, to the Murder of Shane O Neill in the 16th century, Irish history is marked by moments of courage and resistance. The Dunbrody Emigrant Ship in New Ross, Co Wexford, bears witness to the mass emigration that followed the Potato Famine. In the House of Commons, Gladstone's Peroration during the Home Rule Debate ignited Irish nationalist fervor. Michael Collins, an Irish revolutionary, soldier, and politician, led the fight for independence during the turbulent years from 1890 to 1922. The National Famine Memorial in Co Mayo honors the countless lives lost during the Great Famine. The Pikeman Statue in Ballinamuck, County Longford, stands as a symbol of the bravery of the Irish soldiers who fought against British rule. Dublin's wonderful farewell to British troops during their first evacuation marked the end of centuries of British rule in Ireland.
