Wouldn’t it be great if you knew someone who has personally been there to guide you though the experience? For over 40 years, Brendan has been helping travelers plan, book and enjoy their special vacation. Whether it’s on your own, with a guide and a group of like-minded travelers, or a combination of the two, we will help you make it the vacation of your dreams. It starts with your reservation. One of our experts will personally handle all the details, make sure you have the information you need, share ‘insider’ destination secrets and answer your questions. When it comes to Ireland and Britain, my father and I know this part of the world intimately (some would say, better than anybody). My father grew up in Dublin, and I have visited many times, plus we’ve both been to England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales on numerous occasions. We have explored it all, from the famous ‘must see’ sights to little out-of-the-way local favorites. When we design our tours, we do so with the same care and thought that we use for our own personal vacations. Britain and, especially, Ireland hold a very special place in our hearts, and we look forward to sharing them with you. “Taking You Personally” is more than our slogan. It’s the way we want to be treated….so it is the way we want to treat you and every Brendan traveler.

    The Canada Times … inspiring students to discover history The Rebel Countess of Ireland Constance Marcievicz March 2016 JEANIE JOHNSTON EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem The Rebel Countess of Ireland Constance Marcievicz Alan Hustak he was an Anglo-Irish blue blood, a Protestant with a Polish name – an unlikely heroine of the Irish Rebellion. Known to history as the “rebel countess,” Constance Georgine Marcievicz often described herself as “a rebel, unconverted and unconvertibleS pledged to the one thing – a free and independent Republic.” A century ago, she was sentenced to death by firing squad for her part in the 1916 Easter Uprising. At the time she was second in command of the Irish Citizen Army at St. Steven’s Green under Michael Mallin. When the uprising erupted, armed with a Mauser and an automatic rifle and with a cartridge belt slung around her waist, she was spoiling for a fight. Preparations for the rising were being made by the Irish Republican Brotherhood in Kerry. British detectives caught wind of it and according to one account warned the countess to stay away from Kerry. She was indignant. “What will happen to me if I refuse the order? Will you shoot me?” she asked. “Ah, madam, who would want to shoot you? You wouldn’t want to shoot one of us, would you?” “But I would! I’m quite prepared to shoot and be shot at.” True to her word, on Easter Monday 1916 she led her men through the gas-lit streets of Dublin and during the weeklong skirmish she is thought to have killed at least one British soldier.
