Ann an 1916, dh'atharraich Ar-a-mach na C脿isge eachdraidh na h-脠ireann. Chuir seachdnar fireannach na h-ainmean aca ri p脿ipear oifigeil Poblachd na h-脠ireann a' ciallachadh gu robh gach fear gan cuir fh猫in ann an cunnart b脿is.

'S e duine tuigseach, dripeil a' bh' ann am P脿draig Pearse. Fhuair e foghlam aig an Oilthigh R矛oghail a' leughadh lagh. Ann an 1915 fhuair e ballrachd mar ph脿irt de Chomhairle Armailteach an IRB. 'S e iadsan a bha ag ullachadh planaichean an Ar-a-mach. Seachdain na C脿isge, bha Pearse st猫idhichte aig a' phr矛omh ghearasdan, an GPO. Bha e a' toirt brosnachadh do na fireannaich agus air Diluain na C脿isge, bhruidhinn e gu poblach, is e ag aithris P脿ipear Oifigeil Poblachd na h-脠ireann.

Chaidh Pearse a chur an greim air an d脿rna l脿 den Ch猫itean. Chaidh binn b脿is a chur air agus chaidh a th矛odhlaigeadh ri taobh T貌mas Clarke aig Gearasdan Cnoc Arbour. Tha am pr貌gram seo a' leantainn sgeulachd Pearse ann an Ar-a-mach na C脿isge, 1916.

The 1916 Easter Rising changed the course of Irish history. Seven men put their names to the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, and in signing it, each man knew they were in all likelihood signing their death warrants.

Patrick Pearse was an intelligent and industrious man. He won a scholarship to the Royal University, where he studied law. In 1915 he was made a member of the IRB Military Council, which was planning the rising.

During Easter week, Pearse served at the rebellion headquarters, the General Post Office in Dublin. He offered encouragement, addressing the men to sustain morale and also the public, most famously by reading the Proclamation on Easter Monday. Pearse was court-martialled on 2 May. He was sentenced to death and buried at Arbour Hill Barracks alongside Thomas Clarke. This programme follows Pearse in the 1916 Easter Rising.
