Summary

In his essay ‘Ghosts’, Patrick Pearse summoned the spirit of Charles Stewart Parnell to stand beside those of Tone, Davis, Lalor, and Mitchel in the canon of Irish separatism. His speech at the grave of O’Donovan Rossa in 1915 was delivered in close proximity to the Parnell monument at Glasnevin Cemetery. It rejected the sort of ‘Ivy Day’ platitudes denounced by James Joyce in a short story in Dubliners; and it called for action. Prior to the delivery of that speech, the city of Dublin had been put into lock-down by Thomas MacDonagh, in what was effectively a rehearsal for the Easter Rising.
