  Good article. A couple suggestions:

1. Link "Padraig Pearse" with the existing Patrick Pearse page.

2. Mention that MacNeill only agreed to support action because he believed suppression of the Volunteers was inevitable once the British discovered the Volunteers were receiving arms from Germany. He reversed this position when he discovered the shipment was lost, which basically reverted his stance to the one he held all along: that the the Volunteers should take action only if attempts were made to supress them, disarm them, or if concription were introduced to Ireland.

3. Mention both the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Easter Rising by name.
