Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
My Lords, I have had the experience of defending an IRA person who was moved not by the Easter Rebellion, but by the words of Robert Emmet on the scaffold in 1797. If you take anywhere at any time, you can see how a person may be incited by stories from the past to commit terrorist acts. Consequently, the Easter Rebellion is certainly still a matter that could be—if the Attorney-General of the day so decided—the subject of a criminal prosecution and investigation.
