Long overshadowed by fellow republicans Pearse and Connolly, Tom Clarke was the man who made the Easter Rising possible. During an extraordinary life dedicated to Irish freedom he rose from humble origins and endured thirty years of struggle, imprisonment and exile before becoming the master conspirator behind the Easter Rising.

Endowed with charisma and moral ascendancy, he held together a disparate group of associates and they, in turn, recognized his indispensable leadership by insisting that his name alone should have pride of place on the Proclamation of an Irish Republic. It was a gesture that, in a sense, guaranteed Clarke immortality; it also proved to be his death warrant.

Over the course of an extraordinary life dedicated to Irish freedom, Clarke rose from humble beginnings to become a master conspirator whose sacrifice changed the course of our nation's history.
