- Some of the men and women who rose against British rule in Ireland over Easter Week 1916 speak about how Ulster protestants (who consider themselves as either British and Irish, or British only) should feature in an Ireland united.
Very interesting , iv only taken an interest in Irish politics, history etc over the last 2 years or so and i find it fascinating , its really opened my eyes and knowledge , being English of Irish descent it has been really educational for me , I hope one day there will be peace for all in Ireland and everyone will put their differences to one side for eternity , Its a Fantastic country with fantastic people
It's gone over your head, the conveyance.
Very well said, respect from cork
Hopefully we can have a United Ireland where people of all religious backgrounds and heritages can be proud to be Irish.
Hail Glorious Roman Catholic Éireann.☘🇮🇪
Never happen, I'd say if there was a vote for a united Ireland and it passed, a majority of protestants in the north would emigrate to Britain. To be Irish is an insult to them
@@mcivor321 So Ulster Scots Presbyterians are bitter and sore losers
@@mcivor321 Still living 1690 anti Roman Catholic bigotry?
@@RobertK1993 they don't identify as Irish. I've seen the murals in Belfast shankill road, it says "Irish out, hands off Ulster"
As a protestant myself quoting the words of the late president john f Kennedy whom I love and greatly admire and respect, "for in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all in habit this small planet, we all breath the same air ,we all cherish our children's future,s and we are all mortal " I don't care one bit about a person,s religion, colour ,creed etc we are all the same in the eyes of God, just wish the people who are intent on death, mayhem and destruction could only see the grief and misery it leaves behind for everyone regardless !!!!
🇮🇪🇮🇪
My God, these old people long dead have sense and wisdom...
Wolfe Tone in the united Irishman
Hail Glorious Roman Catholic Saints And Martyrs Of Éireann.☘🇮🇪💚
Where are these interviews from? Is there a lengthier clip? Fascinating stuff.
That nice toughts by 1916 veterans.
Very true, Tone was a historic figure, ask the pipe band they'll tell ya.
Ireland unfree shall never be at peace. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
WHATWHAT willis unfree ?
@Daniel Spaniel Keep dreaming bigot keep dreaming.
Daniel Spaniel Sadly Daniel Ulster Protestants actions 1921-1972 prevents that should have treated the Catholics better.
Daniel Spaniel What they are owing UK in the Brexit negotiations 3 years on no Brexit you people are getting ridiculous every day.
afk Ulster Unionists are right comedians giving Republicans a good laugh.
Wolf Tone was a Presbyterian there are many branches of Protestantism.
@Never Unprepared The gates of hell have already prevailed against it. Ireland and the crimes committed by the Catholic Church.

It was the anti treatys who done the fighting. The north was abandoned. The victors wrote the history books, a video like this showing the role Protestants had in the formation of the Free State proves there is a lot we are not told.
My great uncle died on hunger strike amonst many others whos names are never mentioned. They actually fought while the rest of the country looked upon them as rebels but at the same time allowed the Catholics in the north to suffer as they did. Are they true Irishmen to allow that to happen or was it no concern of theirs because they were protected under the treaty? As long as they didnt live in Ulster it was none of their concern
It was never about religion in the south many many prods fought and supported a free ireland look at Yates the greatest Irish writer in Irish history and a big supporter of a free ireland and a prod
Religion always had a part to play. Theres been sectarian in Ireland since forever. Our history is steeped in it.
It’s more nuanced, some of the Dunmanway/West Cork area Protestants who were killed had been informing though I would agree that doesn’t justify murder and terror. there was definitely sectarianism and many Protestants left out of fear after the Dunmanway/West Cork killings. But there are also examples in the Macroom area of Protestants who fought on the revolutionary side, if you read the book ‘The Briar of a Life’. Though overall of course it wasn’t easy for be Anglo-Irish or Protestant in 1923. I hope some day we’ll have a new Ireland with flag, anthem etc the whole lot So that everyone can feel their narrative is relevant.
@@bernadettemccarthyflahive5357 you hope the anthem n flag change? Come on now
@@bernadettemccarthyflahive5357 I do agree with what you said, but I think it's important to say that while Protestants fled out of fear after the Dunmanway killings, that fear wasn't very well founded. As the Dunmanway killings were an outlying incident committed by rogue IRA men and condemned by both the Pro and Anti Treaty sides (1) and that Protestants/Anglo Irish people were predominantly treated well in the Free state as Enda Delaney said in State and Society: Irish Migration to Britain, 1921-1971 "The Irish Free State had few overt discriminatory religious policies against Protestants and prided itself on its treatment of religious minorities." I do agree with what you said however I wouldn't want anyone to come away from reading your comment thinking that the Irish Free state had something out for Protestants.
1. Meda Ryan, Tom Barry, IRA Freedom Fighter p 215.
Religion is only a way to tell one side from the other
Worth noting that in 1916 thousands of Nationalist were keeping Ireland free fighting the Germans...
True héros of Irish freedom
he sees no end to it..... he was so right 2019 and still people murdered..
Old IRA🇮🇪
No religious bitterness at all. How things changed for the worst.
Tom Barry was right. Get the British military and all of their influences out of the situation and things will be able to resolve themselves peacefully.
Can't they are in every family after all british 800-ice age years
McQuade was very anti protestant he was also extremely anti semitic. His web of often well-placed informants and flunkies across all sectors of society - were on constant alert for any hints of deviance from, or challenges to, the conservative norms defined and underpinned by church and state, any green shoot of liberalism or free thought, especially Protestant, alien notions such as women’s rights, and of course the ultimate bogeyman - communism.
Irish Examiner.
Well a neo-colonial state will bring out the worst elements in any class & people. Them very anti-communist.
"very anti-Protestant": was he, though? Any evidence of that, out of curiosity? As for Communism; well, yeah, wouldn't you be if you were a Catholic Priest in Spain in the late 1930s? The Republican side committed appalling atrocities against the clergy and lay religious. Ireland was Pro Franco. To be honest, there was no good side there.
I am absolutely sure that nationalists have no problem tolerating Protestantism. But it tends to come with unionism. And nationalists, I find, have always treated unionism as a sort of mental illness. What Edward Carson said of home rule in 1914 still rings true today:
"I say this to my Nationalist fellow-countrymen, and indeed also to the Government, you have never tried to win over Ulster. You have never tried to understand her position."
He was right, as the peace now is Coincidence with the Army presence ceased.Astute fella , prophetic even, ah the man with the solution 40 or so before adoption. Still it's only life, what's 40 years killing and dying, when compared to a good 800. Sad, sad, bad.
what are you on about did they close palace and aldergrove? the british army still have a very big presence just no troops on the street
@@whitetroutchannel Whats your problem Sir.
south count dublin would not agree with rural republicans..its LAND,,,SAME AS IN KENYA..
Freestaters, ( typical also) with the exception of the last man.
1:03 - 4:49 were all anti treaty veterans
Actually lold the ethnic clensing in Cork didn't happen. And Protestants weren't officially discriminated agin.. or If ye Dinny speak scotts Irish then Welcome oor Ulsterscotts
Are you trolling
Protestants were discriminated in south a small bit but not as bad as Catholics in Northern Ireland Unionists are in denial about that .
Pure evil double agent Neligan.
His words have aged well. If the English and all its unhelpful manisfestations and armed forces were gone
NOPE quiet tho opposite... they only left when both sectarian sides agreed to share power.............
Oh all so sugary played for the camera.
3:50 there is peace today, no? 🇫🇮
No
Seems more like a cease-fire, but there is a middle ground happening that was never there before
Foolish to think the British Army. was the problem ... they left the north... and it made no difference at all. Remember Northern protestants insurected against the UK ib 1913 &1968. Heck they army were sent in back in 67 as peace keepers..
and Good Friday in EXACLT the same as the Sunningdale agreement the UK Govt was on the right track .. Britain is not interested in keeping NI BUT the Republic has failed to win them over.... need to try harder..
Impirúlachas amach anois!
All these years and they don't seem to have learnt anything... there will never be a united ireland as 2 nations need 2 homelands.
Support the dissidents
Gg Ff NO!
Are they playing a football match then.
