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

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