Irish revolutionary #PadraigPearse was born on Great Brunswick Street (now named Pearse Street) #OTD in 1879.

Pearse "kept a school" (in the words of Yeats) and wrote not only on revolution, but on the #PhilosophyOfEducation, most notably his book "The Murder Machine" https://www.irishphilosophy.com/2015/11/10/pearse-education/
