So the SpongeBob movie is true. When the king collects and uses up all the snails, rubbing snails slime in his face as a cream.
Our heritage needs protection and promotion, thank you
Great subject. but why do you have the music all over the presenters narration...? Impossible to watch...ruins a great show.
My Grandad "the legend" of our family came from williamstown.

I like this video he is just so serious
My strongest memory of Loughrea back in the 1960s was Ambrose Concannon's shop that sold everything from boots to bacon to peat turves to Guinness. Happy days in this little town.
I read about this studying for the LSAT, it’s very sad too. I feel bad for all the people who worked on them and enjoyed their business, and the people who loved the smell. I hope they can measure the environment then allow peat to be harvested and sold in small amounts for the smell, or a replication of the smell and stuff can be recreated.
My grandmother was the witness for the defence who saw him at mass that Sunday morning and spoke to him. She was a 16year old girl at the the time.
A pity that Athenry doesn't get more attention. Well done on the video.
Excellent information!
Keep it Irish.
Simply amazing.
Excellent informative video. Thanks.
The Spanish didnt use the flask, they used a "bandolera" with the 12 "apóstoles"
Is that an Armour Class Mary Rose basket hilt I see there?
And our 21st century King comes along and rips up the original rough stone surrounding the well, part of the traditional penance of doing the pattern on your bare feet or knees!, and puts down lovely shiny gravel. How could one be so stupid? Ruined it.
The first musket is a damn beauty, aesthetical work of art. The second one also is very pretty.
Lovely man❤
partout ou étaient des paysans, ils ramassaient les pierres pour pouvoir labourer ou créer des pâtures ; ils avaient le temps, nous pas.
haha what a funny coincidence, wanted to watch something about irish stone walls and its in one of my favorite places in the world, i spent many years at the knockanstockan music festival growing up just down from here and you referance inis oirr too at the end! which was my second favoirite place me and friends used to go camping for a few summers :)
excellent presentation, especially disputing the term "12 apostles" for the nickname of the chargers on the bandolier. It was very much a later Victorian indulgence. 👍
Hi Christie, fascinating presentation and are enjoying oratory of the rich history of the magnificent Abbey. Would you know if any MacHugos are interred inside the Abbey or graveyard. Looking for Gregory,, Ulick, William and Father Anthony (Priest) said to be buried there 17th & 18th centenaries. as we are researching this line connected to our people from Kiltormer. Any information, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 😊
My Dad Constable Michael Kelly, who was one of the mutineers. I Wish to correct a statement you have made regarding Mee being the leader of the grou. my Dad told me he was elected the spokesman being the most senior member. My Dad was used as a primary source for Father Gauguin book. also My Dada was sent with fellow mutineer John MacNamara to America to gain support. My Dad was also wanted at this time for the killing of Smythe, but he was the one who pointed him out for the Cork Brigade of the IRA
Didn’t understand a word from this geezer can’t lie
Thank you for doing this. I've been doing a lot of data entry of records for the Clonbur/Cornamona/Maum/Leenane area into a large family tree, from b\m\d and also the Irish Graveyards website. This should allow me to do even more.
Very interesting documentary, and a superb specimen of octahedral fluorite!
great video thanks ❤
Appreciated
I'm, curious if you could point out the types of weapons used in the Battle of Beresteczko Poland [1651] What were the type of firearms -- or was it swords and lances. Thank you.
Brother Namaste 🙏 from India Bharat. You really put in great effort into the video. Congrats. You are sincere and honest. God bless you. Just one point, is "bore" number of bullets out of one pound of lead or half a pound of lead? Sorry, if I am wrong. Great effort Brother. 🙏🙏🙏
So if they are carrying 12 shots in their bandolier, when all 12 shots are done, do they go back to the pub for the day?
Bohemia has more than 600 years of gun rights of commoners to own and carry guns. Longer then any country on the globe. Even today far more than UK, Australia or Canada. It's how they could fend off Crusaders in the west and Ottoman Empire on the east, both of which use "cold arms". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_Czech_Republic
This trade isn't forgotten, There is an apprenticeship offered in it for the last 40 yrs and its called stonemasonry and stone cutting.
In America, you had a possible's bag. This contained a powder measure, a ball starter, a percussion cap holder, patches & lead balls of different diameters.... Each patch was 10/ 1,000's of an inch or 1 caliber= one .490 round ball & 1 greased patch for .50 caliber or 1/2 inch in diameter=.050 or 50/100's of 1 inch.😊
Hello Sir, Thank you for the explanation of the restoration techniques of this beautiful bridge. Love the point work on the voussoir stones. ....Doc
Usually bandoleer or powder horn was depending on what musket you used. A caliver or arquebus would more likely use the horn and portetache and since they were lighter, more suitable for more mobile troops, nations that relied more light troops would also be more commonly seen with this setup. The bandoleer is typical for the heavy musket since the charges were also much bigger (i guess the spout would be way too large) and the heavy musket needs a different style of fighting. But of course you could load a caliver with a bandoleer.
Where can I hear you talk about the other stuff you mentioned?
2:28 "Tree" fabricators, those are some skilled craftsmen! :D
Sometimes soldiers would grind their own powder down finer, it made it burn a hell of a lot faster and produced a bigger blast.
What was the chivalrous cavalry cavliers calivers caliber?
Lovely. Now you need to visit the other John Stevens the best calligrapher in the world and see his studio if you can….
Where.s O.donnell buried?
Spain
I think there are roads etc named after him in Madrid.
In the old Spanish Capital, there is a memorial each year to honour Red Hugh O Donnell, it is on Utube.

Lovely to hear some detail about this shrine. Thank you.
So one shot would pretty much mean ur dead ?? Even if you get hit in the leg ? It seems likely to leave a gaping hole ??
People don't realise just how large a caliber those old guns were. A lot of muskets and pistols around the Napolionic war period were .75 caliber, it would be like getting hit with a Billiard Ball.
It doesn’t surprise me that Gerry Burke is touring Athenry, he is very passionate about history.
A very interesting wall!
Great Irish Freedom Fighters = = Thanks.
