It's been a while since I took the opportunity to remind anyone who's interested...
... that Grace Gifford's surname was pronounced "Jifford", with a soft G, as in Giraffe.
You're welcome. 🙂
#OnThisDay, Grace Gifford passed away, aged 67.
Gifford is remembered as a talented artist, established cartoonist and Republican.
She was engaged to Joseph Plunkett, the two allowed a brief marriage ceremony hours before his execution for his role in the 1916 Rising.

#DYK the Irish flag was made by French women, sympathetic to the Irish cause! It was meant to symbolise peace between Irish Catholic Nationalists & Protestant Unionists. They presented it to Thomas Francis Meagher in 1848. Happy #BastilleDay! Liberté, égalité, fraternité ! 🇫🇷🇮🇪

#OTD in 1927, Constance Markievicz died.

#OTD in 1828, Daniel O’Connell won the Clare by-election.
This victory added a new momentum to his work toward Catholic Emancipation. Introduced the following year, this enabled O’Connell to take his seat in parliament and carry on his work from parliament.

🇮🇪The fight to save the GPO is on! Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael want to turn this historic site into shopping units and offices for corporations. Pearse Doherty and I are asking you to sign this petition and help us to stop this shameful sell-out of our rebel history.

#OTD in 1867, Young Irelander Thomas Francis Meagher died.
Leading a colourful life, Meagher opposed Daniel O’Connell’s pacifist approach towards Irish freedom, raised the first Irish tricolour, took part in the American Civil War and became Governor of Montana.

Today in 1868, revolutionary socialist James Connolly was born. Connolly was a staunch supporter of the Suffrage and Feminist movement, founded the Irish Citizen Army for men and women, was one of the 7 signatories of the proclamation and led the GPO garrison during 1916.

This week, June 1903, marks the wedding anniversary of the remarkable and revolutionary Sheehy-Skeffingtons. The two chose to wear graduation gowns instead of traditional outfits and combined their surnames into Sheehy-Skeffington to honour each other.
