That is super interesting. I'm doing my thesis on St. Enda's a school that was run by Patrick Pearse near the turn of the century. But, in a broader sense where a lot of my readings have centered on is nationalism and Irish identity. It amazes me how long that conflict continued to fester and exploded into some pretty bad violence. I lectured on it to a class and showed them all of the murals from some of the neighborhoods to show how the same event or person such as William of Orange had completely different connotations depending on if you were unionist or nationalist. I would have found it interesting to have met some of these people, especially Ian Paisley jr. My prof has quoted him numerous times in class.
