Meh. -
Not in Ireland, I don't know about oveseas but I certainly haven't seen it in any recent pictures -
No thankfully its not
I take it your talking about the poxy green one
however the UN one is worn on some missionsThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.Comment

In 20Bn Pearse Company (D Coy) had maroon cravats and I have heard a rumour that Comphlacht na bhFiann (E Coy) had black cravats. Anyone who knows those two companies would not at all be surprised.Comment

21 Inf Bn pers wore the issue (green) cravats when they were on issue and in the dress regs and stopped when they were withdrawn in 1997.Originally posted by bohs fan View Post"Fellow-soldiers of the Irish Republican Army, I have just received a communication from Commandant Pearse calling on us to surrender and you will agree with me that this is the hardest task we have been called upon to perform during this eventful week, but we came into this fight for Irish Independence in obedience to the commands of our higher officers and now in obedience to their wishes we must surrender. I know you would, like myself, prefer to be with our comrades who have already fallen in the fight - we, too, should rather die in this glorious struggle than submit to the enemy." Volunteer Captain Patrick Holahan to 58 of his men at North Brunswick Street, the last group of the Four Courts Garrison to surrender, Sunday 30 April 1916.Comment
