@@jamiehaggarty5551 no no. They are still here unlike the IRA who surrendered and gave up. 4000 British troops are garrisoned in Northern Ireland today. Mi5 takes the lead for the Psni. The British army where on the streets of West Belfast only last week looking at a suspect device. Hope that helps. 🇬🇧🇬🇧✌️✌️

The Suspect Device is you, right here, right now. Get a life is my advice.

You must have Irish ancestry,?

Wouldn't it be brilliant.

Great young men and women did rally again. Against all odds. And we're betrayed by their leadership. Again. Road signs in two languages...is that why they died?

None of the people in that band were IRA Vols, I literally grew up with many of them ffs! lol

"Bankers" 👃

Dead right. I play spot the paddy everyday

Not all of the Provos were the same level of heroes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day_bombing

The Irish People Should Do The Same To The Government Now.🇮🇪☘

And sadly this song tells the story that they were hunted by their own in the end the free state army who were with these men in the Ira before the treaty but these men rebelled against the treaty that's the saddest part of this story. The free state army executed founding members of the Ira who were part of the first revolution against the British empire.

Dont start making comparisons - up the Provos.@@thatguyinelnorte

Emotionally yes....but really? Read Ernie O'Malley, " On another man's wound". They suffered. How they suffered. Remarkable people, men and women. Never a thought for themselves. Unlike leaders now.

Pipe dream, would u really like to shoot people dead. These people done it out of desperation they had no choice and a very poor quality of life.

Lol.

Wolfe tones is by far the best version.

@@suzannebarry6244 thanks. I went there when I was 5. And still have family living there

My grandfather, Joseph O’Sullivan, was in the early days circa 1917 of the flying column out of Cork. He died young after 5 children from my grandmother from Donegal. She, an O’Donnell, lost most of her brothers to the Brits near Derry that were IRA. She raised me after coming to America w 5 children. There always was a sadness that could never be spoken of, but as thick as syrup. We hung on to our faith that kept us going, which is sad to see, that Ireland has largely abandoned, after all the sacrifices made by these brave men & their strong women of faith.

@@maureencastillo6278 yeah my relatives have a similar story. Only my family refuses to talk about it. But the Brits hung a lot of my family for treason and rebellion, so they were involved in the fenian uprising and the RA likely

@@maureencastillo6278 faith in god is it u speak about. Yes sadly I see in this generation it barely exists, children aren't even thought about it in schools but rather thought that it's ok to change from a man into a woman etc. Strong faith can become a threat to governments therefore this is no coincidence.

They were fighting for a cause. Unlike the SAS who don't care what the "mission" is.

ya he's in charge of the garda not 4 long though

Hi Paul I would suggest the book "Guerilla Day's in Ireland" by Tom Barry. He served with the Royal Artillery in the British Army during WW1 and when he came back home he joined the IRA and would become the most successful guerilla commander in the field at the tender age of 22. I would also recommend the movies "The Wind that Shakes the Barley", "Michael Collins", "A Nightingale Falls", "Shake Hands with the Devil", "The Last September". They all have an Irish War of Independence theme. At it's height the Crown Force presence in Ireland was estimated at 75,000 to 80,000. This was almost 60,000 regular troops,almost 16,000 police,added to Royal Marines,RAF personnel and Royal Navy personnel. The IRA could only put into the field at it's height only 2,500 to 3,000 riflemen. The IRA tactics would be copied and expanded upon by later freedom fighters that were involved in anti colonial and anti imperial conflicts. Ho Chi Minh admired the IRA and the British paid them the highest compliment by forming the SOE and commandos on similar lines.

@@johnroche7541 great stuff john..apparently che Guevara chose tom Barry's book to train his men with and Barry's tactics in crossbarry is thaught as standard practice by military's all over the world now. He was an incredible commander

@@joesoap1960 Thank you for your comment. In the list of movies with an Irish War of Independence theme I forgot to mention "Fools Of Fortune". It is from the 1990's and stars a young Ian Glen(Game of Thrones). No doubt you have read Meda Ryan's superb biography of Tom Barry titled "Tom Barry- Irish Freedom Fighter". The Irish TV Channel TG 4 made a documentary about Tom Barry,Ernie O'Malley and Dan Breen. They are made in the native Irish language but have English subtitles. Tom Barry gave a very interesting interview with the Irish Independent newspaper in the 1970's giving his opinion of what would have happened if there was no 11th July 1921 Truce. He states what the IRA would have done. It is very interesting. Stay safe in these challenging times.

Grandfather was in East Clare column

Many Americans have fought and died in many conflicts dedicated to this great Republic,!

Another Great Ballad 🇮🇪🍀

Can't beat Wolfe tones version though.
