And that’s when they’d need an outstanding communicator, and their outstanding communicator is Pearse.”This, he believes, was a reason Clarke brought Pearse into the IRB and allowed him take such a strong planning role despite the likely distrust of others, who would have seen Pearse as little more than a literary man who had made some fiery speeches but was too prone to compromise.Prof Lee suggested Pearse’s decision to surrender, rather than Tom Clarke’s preference to fight on, was based on a calculation that the Rising had been a public-relations exercise from the beginning and on how to optimise the impact; but also that he might have saved the life of his brother Willie and others.“If they had fought on, pretty certainly the big majority would have been killed... that could have meant that the GPO garrison as a whole would have been wiped out, including Michael Collins. The IRB was formed on St Patrick’s Day, 17 March in 1858 by the former Young Irelander, James Stephens, with the support of Irish exiles and sympathisers in the United States who provided much of the early funding.

Picture: Conor McCabe He traveled to Germany in late 1914 to negotiate terms and to try and recruit Irish men held by the Germans as prisoners of war.There are few images of Casement from this time and, up until recently, no video footage of him had ever been revealed.A documentary on England’s Channel 4 about the First World War included the footage featured below, which is believed to be the only film ever taken of Casement and shows him working at his desk and mailing letters.Although only 40 seconds in length, the clip is still a welcome shot of one of the giants of Irish history who pledged his life to the country’s freedom.The documentary clip tells of Casement’s attempt to win German support and how in August 1914 he wrote to the Kaiser Wilhelm II to convince him of Ireland’s commitment to the German cause.“We draw your majesty's attention to the part that Ireland necessarily, if not openly, must play in this conflict. When the rebellion unfolded, some members of the public were supportive towards the British troops, and after the collapse of the Rising the rebels … Sir Roger Casement was the last to be executed of those involved in the organization of the Casement worked in the British Colonial Service for many years and was knighted in 1911 for his investigation into Human Rights abuses in Peru, but on his retirement in 1913, he became increasingly involved in the struggle for Irish home rule.When the First World War broke out Casement hatched a plan to gain German assistance for home rule.
