    Charcoal and biochar have proved to be excellent at reversing eutrophic lakes ...why hasn't anyone looked at that or encouraged farmers to add biochar to their fields around lakes ...Rush's can be turned into biochar a plant most farmers spray or mulch ...the quantity for slatted houses is 50:1 ...that's one cubic meter per fifty cubic meter tank ...Take a steel.barrel and tilt to sixty degrees to create a low emissions burn barrel.....this creates an easy biochar retort anyone can use...great video and well put together...Don't give up hope there are solutions.

    When we see what's happening in Ireland now currupt political parties and Ireland being handed over to the migration army, Irish people give up their own lives for nothing, what a total waste Of hero's lives. There is no pride in the Irish people these days, the shame of it is too much to bare.

    Rewriting history to suit an expansionist narrative, justifying proxy incursions, ethnic cleansing and violent activities into other countries, is not uncommon. Even on our own doorstep, the Republic of Ireland have rewritten, not only their history, but also inserted their fictionalised version of history into their constitution and national anthem. "A Nation Once Again" or “reunification” are fictional, concepts, nonsense statements, as there was never a sovereign Southern Irish government that governed Ulster, now called Northern Ireland. Ulster or Britain have been the only two historical rulers of Ulster. Ulster was independent kingdom before being subdued and ruled by the British, conquered centuries after our Southern Irish neighbours. “A Nation Once Again” for Ulster, now called Northern Ireland, would be independence, not unification, as claimed by the Republic of Ireland at every opportunity.

    On a visit home, I’m from Belfast, we stayed around Longford and it was the Longford’s paper’s anniversary. It was interesting to read after the treaty about how good it was to see all the young men who had been on the run were now at dances, just doing what young men do and who weeks before were checking how many belles they had left.

    I'm not sure that Colonel Dyer was from Mayo as stated here in this video. I understand that he was born in the Punjab while it was under British rule. With regard to the massacre at Amritsar there is often a conflation between the similar sounding names of Colonel Dyer and his superior Sir Michael O'Dwyer, a British civil servant who was born in Tipperary. Sir Michael was assassinated by being shot twice and he died instantly in 1940 at a book signing in London by a Sikh avenging the infamous massacre. The scurrilous Indian perpetrator was duly hanged.

    Informative and well presented. Thank you. From the research I’ve done on the surname Mimnagh, which is almost exclusively from Lietrim-Longford, it means “ Munster man “ ie someone from the province of Munster, south west Ireland. Mimnagh or Mimnugh, is a sobriquet ( a descriptive word for a place or name that becomes more common than the original name) the original name being Kennedy or Cennetig.
