"But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell
rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in
the springing of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze,
at those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom’s light
might shine through the foggy dew."
- The Foggy Dew by Canon Charles O'Neill, parish priest in Kilcoo, County Down
This week marks the 100th Anniversary of the Easter Rising and on a very special edition of Windy City Irish Radio, Tim and Mike pay tribute to the brave men and women who fought and died for a free Ireland.
