Spend five minutes in Ireland and you will soon find out just how big an influence the Easter Rising has on modern Irish identity. It's even bigger talk this year, of course, being the centenary thereof.

The link below will take you to a brilliant tour of the historical geography of the Rising on Google Maps, narrated by Colin Farrell:

That Google site was extremely well done.
Only been to Dublin once, and if ever there again, that would be a super resource to add to your understanding of Irish history.
