Oh yeah, your lot literally started a second armed front against Britain:
Whilst simultaneously serving in the British army and continuing to volunteer to do so. Conscription was never introduced in Ireland. I'm wondering why Poland fighting for independence is glorious in your eyes, but Ireland shouldn't??
I notice you neglected to mention that Irish nationalist Francis Ledwidge served in the British army during World War I and in fact was killed in action.
Ireland has a far more complex history than you're capable of understanding and its unwise to lecture me about Ireland as I'm far more knowledgeable and educated about it than you are, or are likely to be.
there was initial resistance to hiring women for what was seen as 'men's work',
Resistance by whom? By men actually. You really need to read a few decent history books.

Is that the best you can do?? Now have you ever heard of Edith Cavell?
And do bear in mind that WWI affected my own family directly. It's not just a couple of lines on a website or a quick Google search for me. My family are part of that history, both in the British army and in the republican movement. So I have both the academic knowledge of it and the personal knowledge passed down through my family. The war devastated families and broke hearts that were never whole again.
