POBLACHT NA H EIREANN
__________________________
THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT
OF THE
IRISH REPUBLIC
TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND

IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN: In the name of God and of the dead
generations from which she receives her old tradition of
nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag
and strikes for her freedom.

Having organised and trained her manhood through her secret
revolutionary organisation, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and
through her open military organisations, the Irish Volunteers and
the Irish Citizen Army, having patiently perfected her
discipline, having resolutely waited for the right moment to
reveal itself, she now seizes that moment, and, supported by her
exiled children in America and by gallant allies in Europe, but
relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full
confidence of victory.

We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of
Ireland, and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be
sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by
a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right,
nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the
Irish people. In every generation the Irish people have asserted
their right to national freedom and sovereignty; six times during
the last three hundred years they have asserted it to arms.
Standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms
in the face of the world, we hereby proclaim the Irish Republic
as a Sovereign Independent State, and we pledge our lives and the
lives of our comrades-in-arms to the cause of its freedom, of its
welfare, and of its exaltation among the nations.

The Irish Republic is entitled to, and hereby claims, the
allegiance of every Irishman and Irishwoman. The Republic
guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal
opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to
pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and all
of its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation
equally and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an
alien government, which have divided a minority from the majority
in the past.

Until our arms have brought the opportune moment for the
establishment of a permanent National, representative of the
whole people of Ireland and elected by the suffrages of all her
men and women, the Provisional Government, hereby constituted,
will administer the civil and military affairs of the Republic in
trust for the people.

We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of
the Most High God. Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we
pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by
cowardice, in humanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish
nation must, by its valour and discipline and by the readiness of
its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove
itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.

Signed on Behalf of the Provisional Government.

Thomas J. Clarke,
Sean Mac Diarmada, Thomas MacDonagh,
P. H. Pearse, Eamonn Ceannt,
James Connolly, Joseph Plunkett


The seven signatories of the Irish Proclamation (from left):

Padraig Pearse, James Connolly, Thomas Clarke, Thomas MacDonagh,

All of the above men were executed by the British Government for
their efforts in trying to secure a free Ireland!
