64. John MacBride: See the interview with Sean MacBride.
65. Connolly: James Connolly, founder of the Irish Socialist Party. When
he ran for Parliament in 1905, the Catholic Bishops sent out a pastoral letter
to be read from every pulpit, announcing that anyone who voted for him
would be excommunicated. In 1916, Connolly initially opposed the Uprising
as "bourgeoise revolution," but after the British began killing civilians en
masse, Connolly joined the rebels, was wounded and captured, and was
executed by firing squad. His flag for the Irish socialist movement, the
plough with a band of stars, inspired the title for O'Casey's great play about
1916, The Plough and the Stars.
