Here's a glossary of terms: RIC - Royal Irish Constabulary (Irish Police) RUC - Royal Ulster Constabulary (Northern Irish police - created later) A Specials - Full time special police created for Ulster B Specials - Part time Ulster 'paramilitary' police C Specials - A sort of Ulster reserve police who weren't really used IRA - Irish Republican Army - previously the Irish Volunteers Unionist - Those loyal to the British crown, who wish to remain part of the United Kingdom Republican - Those who desired an independent Irish Republic Nationalist - also the Home Rulers, who wanted a devolved administration in Dublin. Sinn Fein - The political wing of the IRA, Republicans. Who was Padraig Pearse, the romantic nationalist? A complicated man no doubt, but more complex than you might have been led to believe. At the end I also devote some time to the socialist revolutionary James Connolly.
