On 1 October 1916, Ireland shifted from Dublin Mean Time to align with London. For 36 years, Irish clocks ran about 25 minutes behind Greenwich Mean Time, but the Time (Ireland) Act ended that tradition, setting clocks back 35 minutes to match Europe.
The thing about the arc of the moral universe bending toward justice over the long term is that every day between now and then adds another mountain of corpses and ocean of grief. That the better world is coming doesn't make this one any less intolerable, arguably makes it moreso
