In the name of God and the dead generations...

An original copy of the 1916 Proclamation of the Republic went for €390,000
at auction in Dublin yesterday. Apparently it went for twice it's estimate which I found a bit surprising as there are only 20 copies and the state owns three of them. I guess all the millionaires who pay no tax are lacking in patriotism.
Alternatively you could can buy your own for €3.75
