Technically, they never have! In the long view, that is. Wikipedia lists some twenty-two separate Irish insurrections/rebellions/uprisings during the period extending from 1534 (Silken Thomas Rebellion) through 1969 (The Troubles(through 1998)).
Pretty much all of these ended in abject failure. The Irish responded to each disappointment in typical fashion by writing prose, poems and songs, regrouping and building towards the next backlash to oppressive English occupation.
In reference to the Easter Rising of 1916, however, rebel commander Patrick Pearse offered an unconditional surrender to British Brigadier-General Lowe on the 29th of April, 1916 due to his purported wish to preserve the lives of innocent civilians, but also due to the fact that the rebels were hopelessly surrounded and out-gunned. Though many Dubliners were angered with the violence and destruction wrought by the rebel activities, the resulting court martials and executions of most of the leaders and many of the often very young rebel foot soldiers only served to galvanize the Irish populace against the British occupiers.

Why did the 1916 rising start?
The Easter Rising is one of the most violent yet proud times in Irish history. It began while England were struggling in World War I and Irish leaders saw this distraction as Ireland's opportunity. On Easter Monday, Irish Rebels scattered around famous buildings in Dublin and took control. This included the G.P.O (General Post Office) and O'Connell Street. As this was a Bank Holiday, all British soldiers that usually patrolled Dublin were at the races. When the English government found out about what was going on in Dublin, they sent 16,000 British troops over to Dublin, compared to the Rebel's 1,250 men. The Irish held out for a from the 24th of April to the 29th of April and were soon forced to surrender. All Irish leaders were executed except for Eamon De Valera, as he was an American citizen, and the British wanted the support of the USA in World War I.
