Patrick Pearse



Padraig Henry Pearse (known to Irish nationalists as Pádraig Pearse; Irish name: Pádraig Anraí Mac Piarais; 10 November, 1879 – 3 May, 1916) was a teacher, poet, writer, nationalist and political activist who was one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in 1916. He was declared "President of the Provisional Government" of the Irish Republic in one of the bulletins issued by the Rising's leaders, a status that was however disputed by others associated with the rebellion both then and subsequently.
