It's strange Micheal Martin should ask matty mcgrath to apologise for making a fascist remark considering eamonn develera signed a book of condolence to Adolf Hitler in the German embassy in dublin
The Romans kept away from Ireland. The Irish are both intellectual and religious; a combination which does not exist elsewhere as when The Age of Reason came many got on board with it and left the mythic and symbolic behind; seeing it as rubbish, which was a big mistake. We are rational beings and also non-rational beings (represented by religion and myth). The two combined keeps us balanced and sane, otherwise we would be one-dimensional which is never good and can be problematic; leading to bad outcomes.
not really sure what relevance the Romans have to this comment to be honest. Although it's not true to say the Romans kept away from Ireland, They never conquored Ireland but there was 100% cultural and commerical exchange between the Romans and Gaelic Ireland.
It is interesting to note that although Schrodinger was able to get his "mistress, " Hilde March, and their daughter into the country he was unable to get March's husband into the country as well. This is what ultimately caused the family to leave Ireland.
I knew about the Donegal Corridor and a few other bits, so this is a good addition to my knowledge! I think I understand now why my Volunteer great-grandfathers didn't go back to Ireland in the '30s.
@@TheUnemployedHistorian look forward to seeing more from you. You'll hit 1000 subscribers in no time and hopefully you can start earning a bit for all your hard work.
Architects of the Resurrection By R.M. Douglas is a fantastic deep dive into Ailtirí na hAiséirghe. Your video gave an accurate overview of the party. However, your Irish pronunciation needs some work. Great video!
Eye opening stuff! Keep it up. It's easy to look back today and say, "what were they thinking?" as Hitlers barbaric actions in the 40s were yet to come. But, the anti Jewish feelings amongst some , e.g Oliver Flanagan didn't come out of nowhere.
I've only just found and subscribed to this excellent channel. However, I was distressed to see that the last video was put up two years ago. I hope this is because the presenter has found employment and not because anything untoward has befallen him
Thanks for your video. Much of your information is very disheartening to hear. So much for the theory that the repressed have a better insight into others being repressed. I would have liked to have thought the Irish were better but it is more like, at best, they were very mediocre. Sigh.
Beacon ? You are one of the few countries who did not actually fight against the Nazi's. Many Irishman did fight but Ireland remained neutral. Hardly a beacon.
Your channel is criminally underrated. Keep it up bud 👍😎👍
Thanks!

@@TheUnemployedHistorian Better that than conquering.
Thank you not enough is known about Irish history

Thanks for a very interesting video about something I had heard very little about before.
Glad you found it interesting!
With what happened in East Wall earlier this year, these kinds of discussions are only becoming more important.
Don't be ridiculous, political opinions in Ireland are changing rapidly.
Did you watch the video?
YES! Get in! Will try and make the live premiere. :-D
Hopefully we shall see you in the chat!
@@TheUnemployedHistorian Welp. I made the last five minutes!

The building of the 'new Capital' at Tara is puzzling....I mean...why not Cork?
( Sorry...couldn't resist).
Great info...thanks.
Very interesting video! Great work.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks! I'm not surprised I got it wrong, Irish was never my strong point.

Excellent video! So, I learned today that the Irish civil service was riddled with actual Nazis and they were grand with that.

I'm still here, just making videos takes time and I don't really have it right now. Never say never though.
@@TheUnemployedHistorian Good. I look forward to more after I have finished your back catalogue.
Excellent video! Very interesting and informative. Cut, bye, see ya next time I guess
Thank you! Glad you liked it. See you next time, I guess.
Excellent v honest a bit embarrassing and shameful?

something tells me you didn't actually watch the video you're just reacting to the title
@@TheUnemployedHistorian . Yes you are correct. That will teach me !
Fascism?? Ffs lad
are you talking to me or Micheál Martin?
Stop trashing your hands around.
That just makes me want to do it more
Stop blinking while you're at it!
