“What do you do with your revolution once you’ve got it?” inquires the voice of Peter Lennon in the opening scenes of his iconic 1960s documentary Rocky Road to Dublin, made about half a century ago and half a century after the Easter Rising. He was exploring a question that the leaders in the early days of the independent Irish state had to ask themselves when the idealism of the revolutionary period gave way to a partial independence and when the dream of the “executed poets and socialists” gave way to a less inspiring new establishment. Instead, the documentary suggested, what was delivered was an insular nationalism, the rule of an uncultivated, repressive church, deep inequalities and a general culture of cowardice and conformism under which the country was stifled for several generations.
