Always we watch Davy.. and always we cry..
We appreciate you and your mission.. to keep Irish history alive..
Well done, mo chara!

I'd completely forgotten about this and had do some research, 17th May 74, got on to my last remaining Uncle, he ran a pub in Dublin, the Hole in the Wall P Park. I was 7 then, I know we all want to move on, but this and Omagh were pivotal events, that should be remembered by everyone because it defines us and our political evolution and what we fought for to get us to where we are, and also that we seem to be on the verge of losing it to people who refer to us as the "Irish Community" in our own country. Makes my blood boil.
"Ireland for all" they say. Ireland isn't for all. It can't be for all when there's less than 5 million of us
Enniskillen was also a pivotal moment, as was Warrington.
@@meab12Keep fighting! National Party because all the others are sellouts.
Boiling blood causes brain damage. Cool down.
I was just born then ❤😢😮😢❤love to all xxx
Thanks Davy for your professionalism as well as your impartiality in regard to Irish history. I always enjoy your high quality content and to get an Irish prospective to Irish history. Thanks for your time and effort to tell the complex history of Ireland. Regards RC
Thank you Davey , I love Talbot Street . On 11th Sept 2001 after watching the Twin Towers come down , me and my brother flew out to Dublin and without booking checked into the Chelsea, as it was known at the time I think , backpackers hostel in Gardiner Street and drank in The Celt Bar . 2016 I went solo for Centenary year and booked into the Isaacs Hostel not realising it was right round the corner from where we were .... and that's when I seen the kerbstone right across from the Celt Bar where the bomb exploded commemorating the slain and horror to think of what happened that horrible day on a lovely busy Dublin Street and how it was allowed to happen .... collusion be no illusion....... I've always been drawn there , stayed in the Jacobs hostel just up the road at Easter there as the Isaacs now caters for the homeless .... thank you for keeping history alive ( sorry for the long message )
Monaghan native here.
Thank you for this. This has never been forgotten here. A terrible day and a terrible act.
Sadly the Irish government was passing information to the British to assist on its war on terror. But then the British used that information they were receiving from the Irish government to assist the UVF to carry out this appalling atrocity.
This is why everything went quiet with a massive cover up.
Oh please, spare us the pathetic conspiracy theory. The UVF did this to punish Irish Nationalist's for the IRA's atrocities. Irish Nationalists always want to find some way to blame Britain rather than accept it is the inevitable result of IRA murders and the Nationalist's depraved indifference to them .
Mi5 job
Great job Davy
That last scene.. this was one of the saddest moments.. the faces of those those people was so hard to watch..
Property damage is one thing.. the loss of innocent lives entirely another..
Thank you Davy.. we must never forget these people who died.. this was heartbreaking..💔
The shock and pain and confusion they were facing was palpable..
💜💙💔🖤☘️
Brilliant channel . Absolutely love your videos man .
Thank you!
Great video Davy Hopefully you will do a couple of video s on the Ira atrocity s in enniskillen and omagh as well
William ?
Its a shame the irish goverment never done anything about it
This will be an interesting watch
It blows my mind to find out about this. In Australia the impression we are given that all the troubles were caused by the IRA but obviously that is far from the truth.
Belturbet, Petigo and Clones bombings another huge cover up. Worth looking up. Love your videos Davy ❤
Davy, as always very well researched and informative. I become more impressed with each of your efforts.
These bombs were a bloody act of senseless violence
I completely understand & empathize all the anger & desperation, but I will never understand how anyone can see how this action will solve anything.
Birdy Byrne sent me ,, Great work very good insight 👍
They will meet "the Man above" one day and answer for it; they won't escape justice there.
They're all dead. Some killed in a loyalists feud, others killed by the I.R.A. It is believed the guards passed on their names to the RA because the RUC wouldn't extradite them to the Republic.
According to wikipedia there were 34 people murdered.
UVF claimed ‘full’ responsibility (guess who told them to issue that statement).
Was probably the uvf and british army
The loyalists were never again able to repeat a car bomb anywhere north or south only shootings so they had to have been help and collusion from thr British.
Mid ulster uvf and britsh military intelligence.
Exactly 3 days after my birth 😢😢😢
I always found it strange that Gerry Adams didn’t go on a hunger strike to lead by example.
Don’t.
Maybe because he wasnt imprison at the time . Duh
Always found it strange that the rep of Ireland let this go..now days they our so tough chasing foreigners who our defenceless..fs they even let English fans run amok in Dublin after throwing stuff on top of irish fans @ lansdown road
The most fatal days of the troubles were the Omagh Bombing and the Enniskillen Remembrence Day. Of course the Dublin bombings were horrific, but let us not forget those other bombings including the Abercorn Cafe Bomb, The La Mon Restaurant Bomb, the bomb on the Shankill that killed innocent shoppers, Loughgall, Strabane where teenagers were heard screaming for mercy. These are only a few of the atrocities in beautiful Ulster with it is Hills and Glens and Rivers and lakes. Where have all the flowers Gone? gone to graveyards every one.when will they ever learn
Well said and all the Catholics that had to run and move elsewhere. I grew up been told Dublin an further people down the country turned there backs on what was really happening in the north during the troubles.
The total misery has effected my family. I am from the border North and South.
......but the most fatal DAY of the troubles was the 17th May, 1974 and it did not happen in Northern Ireland, it happened in Ireland.
When serving and retired British soldiers, along with their loyalist friends, crossed the border and murdered Innocent men, women and children in Dublin and Monaghan. They murdered 34 people, including an unborn child, and injured almost 300 others.
This should be forced viewing for all migrants who insist on living here for free.
People like you make me laugh, your such a puppet 😂 Most of the migrants don't want to leave their home country but thanks to USA and UK their homelands are destroyed, why are you not angry at the people who destroyed their countries but the people who have no where left to go?
Today when you look at both countries you have to ask yourself was it all worth it!
@@dav01kar Nobody fought for the right to be a racist
@@bogbay that word is meaningless today you don't have a clue want you are talking about
@@dav01kar Racist says the word racist is meaningless. Yeah right David
The good old British government , and a labour one too , I could have expected it from Edward Heath and his bastards, but this was wee Harold Wilson smoking his pipe trying to be a mans man
Them bastards in british govt have always ruined ireland. Churchill sent black and tans and partitioned our land. He's no hero
