Ireland didn't suffer a population decline of 2 million because of the potato blight, it was because Britain exported all of our food. Listening to British people totally ignore their genocide in Ireland makes my blood boil.
Well said 👍🏼
Absolutely
absentee landlords had their harvest shipped out under armed guard. stealing a chicken to feed your starving family was punishable by transportation to van deemons land (Australia) as a convict. many never made the 3 month voyage and their family perished at home.
Britain starved us!! "F*ck the Mayweathers"? Seriously? Please don't believe that! And 90% of the rest.
Ireland got sick of winning the Eurovision because it's a joke and costs a fortune to host it. Plus nobody cares!
There is a darker side to the famine that wasn't discussed. There was actually loads of food - it was only the potato crop that failed - but the British took it and sent it abroad to feed their armies. It was more of a genocide than a natural disaster
You're not going hear a Brit talk about how they could've alleviated the effects of the "famine". Plenty of crops and meat and they exported it all while we were starving in the streets. A lot of people still scoff when the word genocide is ascribed to this. But it was basically a way for them weaken our country further, without being accused of such a horrendous crime at the time.
Also plenty of countries tried sending food and grain to Ireland and the British stopped it.
@@cianhealy3165 Not true. The British government imported maize from America and spent £8 million on relief. The potato crop failed in Scotland too so there could easily have been food shortages in Great Britain especially with the large scale movement of Irish people into Scotland and England.
Malthusian economics and lasses fair ideology
@@decmurray1096well the belief goes that tragedy would force the poor to pull them up by their boot straps. Britain gets alot of bad press as being evil. I just think they were stupid 😂
Never EVER say "Saint Patty's" again!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
There was plenty of food during the famine but we weren't allowed to eat it. Beef was intended for the english, and they heavily taxed all imports as well. The native Americans even donated 200,000 ish dollars to us (which was a massive amount of money back then) but the english took most of it as tax.
The gravely institute done a good video about what the British did to the Irish during the famine, can't remember what the exact name is but its on UA-cam, worth a watch
Why anyone belittles us by calling it a Potato Famine is sinful, it was genocide, fact!
Sub division of land had a major part to play also. It is a convenient narrative that the English were the only reason the famine happened
@@ginshee111111111111.. seriously, u are clueless- how about a little more education, and accurate research on the subject before u word vomit all over UA-cam 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Don't fuck with Dustin the Turkey, he's one of the most loved characters in ireland. He's got a lot of number 1 songs all for charity and is an irish intuition. We love that guy and he can do no wrong (totally triggered)
If you are interested, there is a big regeneration in the Irish Language through music at the moment, there is a rap trio that raps in the irish language called "Kneecap" absolutely recommend (they have a new album coming out soon too)
Some of these "facts" are very out of date or stated without context making them moot. You can even tell he lifted the first few from Geography Now! Tut Tut 😐
Interesting comments about the Irish language, you can thank the British and the penal laws who forced the Irish to stop speaking their own language, as they have done in so many countries the Brits tried to eradicate all Irish culture and traditions on the Island and the Famine was used as tool for genocide by the Brits who shipped tonnes of grain and food over to England each week and believed they could clear the land of all the Irish, by starvation, paying their fair to America or sentencing prisoners to jail in Australia, so even in the 21st century we are still recovering from the effects of british colonization.
Please look up Dolores O'Riordan ...Zombie song its about 2 boys 3 years and 12 years old killed by an IRA bomb march 1993 in England. ,I know it sounds depressing but it is an amazing song, and amazing singer her voice is outstanding sadly passed away now Please watch the video please even watch it privately 🙏
"We're doing what we can to help you regain your economy" Shhh, nobody tell them we're one of the wealthiest countries in the world...
That's probably based on the wealth of Facebook and Google who don't keep most of their wealth in Ireland
When i lived in Dublin we would just say "I'll meet you at the floozy at 8" or "see you at the stiffy later" nobody, whether they were a Dub or, like me, from somewhere else in Ireland, ever called them by their official name or even used the full nickname very often either.
The passport thing still stands regarding having an Irish grandparent afaik. Also, I'm Irish - I was born and currently live in Northern Ireland, and have an Irish passport. Meaning I have freedom to work and live in any EU country. In Northern Ireland you can choose to have a UK passport, an Irish passport, or both.
I hold an Irish passport as my father was Irish, he came to England in 1951 and remained here up to his death 9 years ago, I am an Irish Citizen under the rules but I wouldn't call myself an Irishman as my cultural upbringing is English, I don't have any children but my brother does and one of them has registered and gone through the process to take up Irish Citizenry, he has three children but as two were born before he got his passport only the one born after can become a citizen as it all comes down from my dad being Irish. I did a DNA test and that came back with 53% Irish and 47% English DNA, on both very much centred in the South of England and the South West of Ireland.
@@RushfanUK see, you're absolutely spot on. A lot of people outside of Ireland just want an irish passport to claim irish citizenship, you acknowledge that by confirming you are English, i respect your thoughts on it more than these Americans running around saying they're irish.
Trust me , living in the US you've never had a good pint of Guinness. When you visit Ireland you'll understand.
It's been said that Guinness doesn't travel well. Closer ya get to Dublin, the better!
I've tasted Guinness all over our island. Can't say there's much difference from Guinness in Dublin or Guinness in Belfast or Derry
@matthewjamison Say you've drank Guinness all over the world then roll out 3 Irish cities.
@philipmccarthy6175 Oh, I thought it was a given that it's not as tasty abroad dude. So I was just saying there's not much difference in taste anywhere on our wee island.
@matthewjamison I think it's how it's kept. If you're in a bar where there's a significant distance between the keg and the tap that can make a difference. I think that's why the best Guinness is more often found in smaller bars , the type you find in rural towns & villages.
Fun fact: D-day was meant to be on the 5th of June 1944. A weather report from ireland was provided to the allies and they delayed by a day, cuz the weather was crap. Tandragee(tóin re gaoith)Castle where tayto crisps are means "arse to the wind" Castle
Arse to the wind. So us 😂
@@grantjohnston7972 if ya have an arse full of wind, it might help with overtakes:)
Also, please don't take note of any of this gowls pronunciations. He said so many place names wrong, it's almost hilarious
Bit of an old video there. 😄
Blasphemy is no longer mentioned in the Constitution and abortion is now legal.
Polecat's and ferrets are very different.
One is wild and one is domesticated. They are the same animal other than that.
@@heilong79 polecats include stoats, ferrets and pine martins to be more acurate so my statement isn't quite right.
Why do the Irish have potatoes and the Arabs have oil?
The Irish had first pick lol. 🇮🇪🇺🇸💜
Citizenship thing still works. My brother did it recently as our grandmother was Irish. Only did it so he could have a non brexit affected passport.
The town of Muff has a diving club called Muff Divers
And muff liqueur
Corona probably came from all the mixed Germs on that rock 😂 and some poor Chinese guy kissed it and brought it with him to China 😂 calm down everyone it's a joke 😂
My late mam back in 64 while pregnant with me was at blarney Castle and an American flim crew we're watching her kiss the blarney stone and asked her to kiss it again whilst filming her to take back for your TV
Lads need to check out our girl 'Katie Taylor' Even Conor McGregor is humble Wen she around.
I'm Irish and I never heard the nipple story plus a lot more happened to cause the famine in Ireland than just the failure of the potatoe crop
Agree to the daft nipple myth .
Fighting skills , cattle, and land.
That’s what the Irish people prized.
Well I just have to say our next door neighbours across the sea have the best Rugby team on this rock at the minute
Pleasure to watch them play
I'm nervous for tmr ..well a few hours 😮
Captain boycott was a landlord in County Mayo connacht not Ulster as the poster said
The passport thing works like this. If your parent is an Irish citizen by birth, you are automatically an Irish citizen, declared or not. All you need to do is to present your Irish parent's birth certificate to an Irish Embassy to qualify. I know this for a fact as both my kids were able to obtain citizenship on that basis
If you have an Irish-born grandparent, but not an Irish-born parent, you become a "foreign-born citizen" and the application process is somewhat more complicated...but you will get there. Go for it, if you can!
We used to carve our Jack o Lanterns from Tunips 😂
So a couple of things - the passport thing is real. My cousins in the US (who have 2 Irish born parents) have Irish passports. The abortion law has now been repelled so we actually have more liberal abortion laws that some of the US since the reversal of Roe v Wade. Also the blasphemy thing has been removed too since the whole Stephen Fry thing. Halloween - google turnip lanterns, they were the precursor to carving pumpkins & truly terrifying. Smoking is banned inside public spaces but outside you can smoke. Cill means hill in Irish so there's a lot of places that start with Cill.
So the name Cillian means “hill” or something related to that word? Or is it just a coincidence?
@@pcd2.0 Kill means a church not a hill,though sometimes it can mean wood not sure about cillian but is a common enough name worldwide in the form of killian so it may not necessarily be an irish name.
No cill means church ,knock and Drum means hill. The first churches were small the size of one roomed cell,so the irish word for a church comes from cell which was originally latin.
@@gallowglass2630 This. Cill, or more commonly anglicised as "Kil/Kill" means church. Kilkenny for example, is a corruption of the church of St Canice, who also spent some time up here in Derry, where we also have some places and churches named after him. And - my favourite example - perhaps the most infamously Protestant, "Loyalist" (to the British crown) area on the entire island, is Shankill, in Belfast: which is an Irish term meaning "old church". I'm sure the locals love the fact that they speak Irish every single day 😄
Sláinte from Ireland lads - enjoying your content on the topic lately
Ireland came out of slavery and famine. A very disturbing history, not all Blarney stones and Guinness.
Guiness taste different in other countries, like water
Yeah the smoking ban related to indoor public areas only. Outdoor areas are fine, at the discretion of the establishment
St Patrick's colour is blue
Drinking Guinness from a can? Jeez 😀
In Ireland the first Halloweeners celebrating Samhain, which means November in Gaelic, actually carved turnips which are similar to rutabagas in US and brought this with them to the states which has now morphed into pumpkins.
The people of the US used pumpkins because they are easier to carve than turnips.
@@gerardflynn7382the irish who moved to America used pumpkins as they were bigger and easier to carve, eventho they first used turnips when they first moved over
There a baltimore in Ireland as well
There have been naturally mummified remains of men found in The Bog of Allen(in county Kildare) and they're so weel preserved they can tell these men had their nipples cut off/removed before they died. There apparently was a mad law/rule that in order for a man to be king he had to have nipples. And that competitors for a throne would sometimes have their opponent attacked and his nipples cut off so they could no longer oppose their claim to the throne. And they believe this is what happened to the men who were mummified. Our history is so mad sometimes 🤣
You bring up a great point about the condom prescription. The Catholic Church actively told newly weds to have a TON of children. My grandparents on both my mother and father's side have a ton of siblings. I even have an army of Aunts and Uncles on both my mother and father's side. Smaller families have only started to become the norm since the mid 80s and 90s.
Not very uncommon to have V large families back in the day.. An ex of mine had 13 aunts + 13Uncles on her mother's side alone.. 27 kids... 😐
Don't be daft! Telling people not to use contraception is not telling people tp have "a ton of children. Don't you know that the Catholic Church is big into abstinence?
@@fromireland8663 you're a moron then, the reason why the Catholic Church told newly weds (including my own parents) to have a ton of children is because we lived in Northern Ireland and to increase the Catholic /nationalist population within the Unionist dominated north. Learn the facts you fool. Yes the Catholic Church is against artificial contraceptives, but they did insist on newly weds to have as many children as possible. The facts are there if you care to pay attention to it.
Great reacton video guys, but please don't say St Patty's day (@16:19). We hate it. Patty is a shortened version of Patricia. Also the video presenter goes on in that segment about how great an idea it is to have access to the EU & it's benefits, getting a dig at the UK's now lack of EU privilege
Fact 6 is wrong... Brian Boru (c 941-1014) was the first king who could truly claim to rule the entire island of Ireland. He was declared Emperor of the Irish in the historic Book of Armagh during his own lifetime, and he has retained a hold on the popular imagination as Ireland's greatest king.
The word blasphemy is now removed from the constitution of Ireland. We had a referendum back in 2018 at the same time as our presidential election and the people of Ireland voted to remove the word from the constitution.
Ireland is utterly beautiful. The countryside blows away even the English countryside.
Abortion is not illegal in ireland
Yes - you can get the passport and live and work in EU if any of your grandparents are Irish.
Also, there are Irish preservation programmes - it's obligatory up until the end of secondary (high) school. There are also summer 'camps' in the 'Gaeltacht' - Irish speaking regions in the West of Ireland with completely different words (though similar) in the Irish languages - shows how isolated those communities are along the west coast and how the language developed.
Abortion is now legal - referendum approved it recently.
Smoking is banned indoors, not necessarily outdoors. Most pubs have smoking outdoors areas under heaters.
Also, that guy has no idea how to pronounce the names of the Irish counties or Baile Atha Cliath (Baal a - Clee - a).
I'm so glad somebody else picked up on the mispronouncation of Irish counties both in english and as Gaeilge. Thought it was just me
Same, came to the comments because of the language butchery. You have to work to get Offaly that wrong.
The youth of Ireland (especially from the CNR [Catholic, Nationalist, and/or Republican) community up here in the Occupied 6 counties are really driving a massive increase in fluency in Gaeilge, I highly reccomend checking out the band Kneecap who blend Gaeilge and english in rap/hip hop genre, and TG Lurgan a project that runs at a summer school in Conamara and release videos of Gaeilge covers/adaptations of popular songs.
An gorta mor: The famine genocide, was far darker than this video delves. Plenty of food, but the Crown exported it all, they imported maze from the new world but nobody knew what to do with it so it was fairly useless. In a PR stunt Victoria donated to releif funds but when from memory I believe it was an Indian Raj attempted to completely overshadow her donation, the Raj was forced to lower his donation. Not that those monies ever reached the Irish people, ending up in the pockets of Landlords who en masse forced immigration to the USA, Canada, Australia, UK etc etc although many Irish who ended up in Australia were transported there as it was a Penal colony, the crimes that saw people sent to Botany Bay, range from stealing a loaf of bread to feed the weans all the way to being apart of the United Irishmen which was interestingly a largely Dissenter Protestant led uprising.
The ancient irish dna is closest to modern Spanish iberians, hence the ancient celtiberians across Western Atlantic Europe
There's also the 'Atlantean Irish' theory proposed by Bob Quinn. that genetic exchanges occurred on east Atlantic coastal trading routes from Scandinavia to North Africa. No idea if DNA evidence supports this, but his book on the subject is an interesting read.

No 67 states Roscommon didn't vote in favour of gay marriage but fun fact. Roscommon has the highest number of views for online gay porn in Ireland
It might be simpler to stick to "Eire"
Ireland used to be covered in trees but the English cutl the forests down and the wood sent to England to build ships and buildings.
You'll notice a difference in the Guinness in Ireland to the US stuff. You will get more liquid per pint over there as well as I'm sure you're aware?
Sorry to disappoint you but we do have ferrets! Ferrets and Polecats are related but different species.
Had to stop at number six. There were high Kings of Ireland. That the other minor kings of Ulster, Munster, Leinster etc would swear fealty too. So it was indeed united under single rulers before the English/Normans invaded.
1916 is when the Easter rising started and marked the start of the war of independence.
The Dual british and irish citizenship only applies to Northern Ireland not the republic , citizens of the republic are not automatically entitled to a british passport unless you live in the UK.
You wouldn't need a British passport if you have an Irish one anyway, since you have the right to live and work in the U.K with that.
I'm not sure why any irish person would want a British passport, over an irish 1 anyway.
People can move between Ireland and England @@kierancoughlan1378 However with Brexit (they were sold a pup) movement of goods is much harder now and businesses have suffered. I am sure from your name you are more than aware of this But thought others might not know.
Its not the economy that hasn't recovered its just the population.
Population of Ireland per the 2022 census is now 5,149,139. Plus we now have an extra 73,000 refugees from Ukraine too.
well... if Data said it, it must be true 🤣🤣🤣
The DUP.. are doing there very best to preserve the Irish language.... God bless them 🙂
Ireland’s population is a little under 5,200,000. In the republic and 1,900,000 in the six counties.
Sean’s bar is in my home town… hi from Ireland guys 🇮🇪

• Watches a video that says that abortion is illegal, blasphemy is still a thing, condoms used to require a prescription (and still does in some instances), and gay marriage had to go through a referendum to become legal long after it was legal elsewhere (which the video, to be fair doesn't mention).
• "Ireland is the most progressive country in the world!"
Haha, damn right we'll disagree. They're good in a lot of areas, though!
All that has changed blasphemy was repealed in 2019 and so was abortion in 2018
@@gallowglass2630: Still, using that to defend Ireland as the most progressive country in the world is like claiming Liechtenstein is the most progressive because they finally gave women the right to vote in 1984. They very well could be (spoiler alert: They're not), but there are likely much better candidates out there (again, there are).
any change to the Irish constitution has to have a referendum of the people, unlike most other countries, so I don't see what your problem with that is, there are only 30 countries worldwide that allow same sex marriage, so ya, progressive, especially seeing as Ireland was very much under church control until very recently, most of the countries that legalised it before would not have had anywhere near the same level of church control over many aspects of their culture and laws
@@ipfreely679 : If you have to add multiple instances of "considering" after "most progressive country in the world", it's not the most progressive country in the world now, is it?
@@ericforsyth where did I say most progressive, I didn't, I said considering how quickly we went from a very Conservative country to a very Liberal one is progressive, I'm guessing you are English and just can't stand the Irish, only reason I can think of for you been so offended by Ireland been called progressive
When the same sex marriage vote took place here quite a few new 18+ voters registered to vote. Unfortunately quite a few of these didn't realise that adding smiley faces of other such meant they spoilt their vote. It is assumed that the reason county Roscommon was the only county which voted no is this.
Ireland yeah baby we did it best place on earth
Number 6 is wrong, the ruler of all ireland was called the high king
The town of Muff has a diving school and a liquor company
In the 1600's £5 was a lot of money, old English money is complicated to explain as it was counted in 12's but decimalisation made the modern currency easier to count (counted in 10's)
Or the simple way to explain it is that a pound back then literally meant a pound of silver
The Irish famine happened when one crop , essential to the survival of the Irish failed, This was weaponised by the British into a genocidal famine to reduce and control the Irish. Thousands of tons of other crops and food continued to be shipped to Britain all throughout the famine. The surviving population was used as a slave labour to build roads. This happened less than 10 years after the British claim to have had their crusade to stop slavery.
It's still a thing. You can be Irish if you're grandparents were Irish. Free travel in EU is not to be sniffed at
I live 10 mins away from where Obama's ancestors apparently came from. It's the smallest village you're likely to ever see. It's just one road straight through.

Unusual sport worth a look into is road bowling in ireland. All Ireland Championship. Love your take on ireland
The population hasn't recovered as it wasn't a famine it was a genocide. If you look at the numbers compared to other famines it doesn't make sense. Compare it to the famines in India and Bangladesh under British rule and you'll realise it was a plan. Ireland exported more food than it imported during the famine. We don't call it a potato famine because it wasn't a potato famine
Gaeilge is still very much in use and is sopken by many, written gaeigle is less common. we have gaeltachts in every province and EVERY road sign in the country are in both Gaeilge and english
Fact: the Titanic was made in Belfast Ireland, nothing was made in Northern Ireland until after 1922, one in the eye for all the unionists.
It was also built by the protestant loyalist, catholics couldn't get work in the ship yards, probably why it sank so fast
The current population of Ireland is just over 5 million so the difference is 3 million!
Plus the 1.9 million in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland didn’t just disappear into the ether after the famine.
A nick name for Guinness is Nigerian lager where I live.

The £5 (I thought £10) limit on horses was meant to make it impossible for a catholic to own a horse good enough to be used in battle. The limit applied to the base value of the horse not any training it might have had. With inflation over the years this limit came to mean that a catholic could not own any decent horse as the offer of £10 (or £5) would force its sale. Think of how it would be if Hispanics were barred from owning automobiles worth more than 10000$ or haulage rigs worth more than 50000$. Buy something for 5500$, really put a lot of sweat into it, it is now worth 16000$, your White, Black or Asian neighbour come along with a police officer and offer you 10000$.

ughh when British make "101 facts about Ireland" vids.. . can anyone explain why British are so obsessed with Ireland?
Eire is the Celtic name for Ireland.
The language of the Celts was Gaelic.
Modern Irish is called Gaeilge (pronounced Gwale-ga)
The name for Modern Ireland is called Eireann.
