Why?

I took this photo on Con Colbert Road in Inchicore today at around 4pm. I was stopped at the traffic lights when I noticed this man, aged about 30 walking along with his can of beer and a shopping bag( containing perhaps more alcohol). HIS life - he can do whatever he wants! EXCEPT...
Not in the blurred photo (which I took out of my car window) was his little daughter, aged about 4 years walking behind him. This man was concerned only with himself and his alcohol and was oblivious to the safety of his little girl near a busy road.

Con Colbert was one of the revolutionary leaders of the 1916 Rising against British occupation which led to an Irish Republic. He was shot by firing squad. Is this what he died for?
