    Hard times creates hard men. We are fortunate now that we had such brave, courageous and hard men in 1920.
    Forever in your debt, Tom Barry and your volunteers. JB

      They said I was ruthless, daring, savage, blood thirsty, even heartless. The clergy called me and my comrades murderers; but the British were met with their own weapons. They had gone in the mire to destroy us and our nation and down after them we had to go.

      If you are from Co Kerry you might like to know that Tom Barry unveiled the monument in the town park of Tralee(known locally as "The Green" I think) to a young man named Hawley killed there by Black & Tans. There is a housing estate called "Hawley's Park" in Tralee named after him.

    1918 we voted for Independence from the Empire, who would not accept the will of the people of Ireland.
    The British establishment did not recognize our Democratic right self determination & by all means at their disposal were hell bent on crushing us as a people.
