I am avoiding any opinions or subjective discussion to stay on the right side of the law. However, the article says: "Another nationalist, who was later killed in the Easter Uprising of 1916, Eamonn Ceannt, wore a kilt when playing
the uileann pipes during an audience with the Pope in 1908."

Eamon Ceannt was actually executed by firing squad on 8 May 1916 for his participation in the Easter Rebellion. The railway station in Galway is named in his honor.
