Thomas Dixie Elliot with a satirical look at Sinn Fein and the Easter Rising. Dixie Elliot is a former H Block blanketman.
Declan K: "I don't want to be Eoin MacNeill."
Marty: "You will countermand the order for our 1916 reenactment so we can go ahead with it."
Declan K: "I don't want to be Eoin MacNeill."
Marty: "You will countermand the order for our 1916 reenactment so we can go ahead with it."
Mary Lou: "I want to be Maureen O'Hara."
(Irritating background sniggering)
Mary Lou: "Who's laughing?
Niall Ó D: "Don't mind me Mary Lou, it's just that Maureen O'Hara wasn't a Republican and she most definitely was not at the Easter Rising. Believe me I know about these things."
Mary Lou: "Well I saw her in a film and someone said...So the IRA's in this too."
Niall Ó D: "That was The Quiet Man Mary Lou. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Republicanism nor The Easter Rising. Isn't that right Danny?"
Danny M: "It all depends on what Gerry thinks."
Niall Ó D is dismissed from Sinn Fein with ignominy for contradicting the Vice President of the party and Mary Lou gets to be Maureen O'Hara Markievicz.
Martina: "I want to be the nurse Elizabeth O'Farrell so I can tend to Gerry's wounds."
"She delivered the surrender!"
Marty: "Who said that?"
Danny M: "Niall Ó D!"
Marty: "Get a baseball bat Danny. Everybody knows it was Séanna Walsh."
Gerry: "Now lets not get carried away Martina, I don't intend getting wounded. Eoin MacNeill will take a bullet for me. Isn't that correct Declan?"
Declan K: "Eh?"
Gerry: "Well go ahead. Show them how you take a bullet for me."
BANG! AAAAAH! - Declan Kearney shoots himself in the foot.
Gerry: "No you twat I meant with a replica weapon!"
Declan K (Whimpering in pain): "I can't be Eoin Mac Neill now. He wasn't wounded."
Gerry K: "Eoin MacNeill bled to death, unless we say otherwise!"
And so Declan K was only too glad to be Eoin Mac Neill.
