Great video thanks for the upload. A couple of my uncles were in Fianna Eireann in the 50's....
My uncle, Johnno Diggin of Cromane, Kerry, fought in that campaign. He never, ever, spoke of being political in any way. In fact he seldom spoke. But my mother, his younger sister, would clean his rifle and gear while he got a little sleep after a day of farm work. Then he'd get up and go for training in the middle of the night, or perhaps very early. He was actually known in Cromane as "The Quiet Man". He was the real quiet man.
That's old Fyfe Robertson of the BBC. I haven't seen him since the mid 70s
Interesting video... enjoyed it... thanks for the upload...👍
Very glad you liked it mate, I'll be uploading more over the weekend I hope you enjoy
@@user-qw3rq6xv3n What's your take on this massive attack by Hamas mate...
@@ogrebattle22763 What do you think mate?
@@user-qw3rq6xv3nWhat boggles my mind is how blinded many here are even knowing the facts & the history... it's unbelievable...
I agree with what Norman Finkelstein said, something like the Hamas offensive was bound to happen when you lock people in a concentration camp and treat them like animals, the former British Prime Minister David Cameron called Gaza the worlds largest open air prison and he is correct. It happened in the North of Ireland in August 1969, maybe not on the same scale but the same principles apply. The courage of the Palestinian people is similar to that of the partisans of WWII or the Jews who tried to break out of the Warsaw Ghetto. What is happening in Gaza is a genocide plain and simple.The US role in all of this is disgusting, they supply Israel with all their modern weaponry cost free, of course the US supporting fascistic murderous regimes is nothing new, then the hypocrisy of the EU with their crocodile tears for Ukraine and then silence for the children of Gaza, that includes the Dublin government who are cowardly quislings.
Orange triumph, sure isn't orange one of the colours of the 32 county national tricolour 😊
Obviously, we have a person here who either, doesn't understand Irish history or doesn't understand the word Triumph in this context or both, it's both.
What the user calls the "32 county national tricolour" was illegal to be displayed in public places like shops, parks, pubs, stadiums etc in the north until the late 1980s. So much for a national flag.The "32 county national tricolour" was never recognised as the national flag of all Ireland, Yes, the all Ireland revolutionary Dail of 1919 - 1921 adopted the tricolour as the flag of Poblacht na hÉireann| The Irish Republic and was informally recognised as the flag of that state but they also used the Green Flag with the words "Irish Republic " emblazoned on it in gold.for some ceremonies and events. It was not until 1937 that it officially became the flag of a Irish state, but that state was a 26 county state not a 32 county one so it did not represent the 6 occupied Ulster counties the UJ flag still represents that part of Ireland to this day.
The tricolour for Irish Republicans represents Irish unity but it's just not a "national all Ireland flag" nobody ever made that legal. Tone & Emmet used the the Green flag whit a harp emblazoned on it. Connolly used the Starry Plough.
