teach an phiarsaigh pearses cottage rosmuc

Patrick Pearse (1879 - 1916) The executed leader of the 1916 uprising, spent some of his leisure time in this modest thatched cottage where he took the opportunity to improve his knowledge of the Irish language among the local speakers.

The interior, although burned during the War of Independence, has been reconstructed and contains a number of mementoes of Pearse, the idealistic school teacher, whose rebellion and death are considered to have been a turning point in Irish history.
