that Centenary featured “immense national pride”. The website’s review also applauded the inclusion of Irish President Michael D. Higgins in the event, calling his speech “powerful, emotive”. President Higgins’ speech is further praised by the Irish Film & Television Network (IFTN), as he chose to pay tribute to “all the Irish rebels who died during the Rising in both Irish and English”.
