Excerpt from Ireland's Right to Self Determination, And, Idle Thoughts on Ireland If those sons and daughters were by our side today in Ireland we would have a population of some fifteen or twenty million souls. And if we had that population we would need to stand at no man's door to ask for our liberty. If these. Our sons and daughters. Were by our side we need not speak ashamedly to any nation on the face of God's earth. And if we cannot look to our own sons and daughters. Our own flesh and blood in our time of need. Where on God's fair earth can we look? But there is another reason why we speak to you. You are part of the great British Empire. One of the great British Dominions. And what ever honor and glory comes to it. You have our fair share, and what ever blame or shame comes to it. You must a so bear your portion of it.
