Leitrim Border Roads Unofficially Reopened, Ireland 1991
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- A number of roads closed by the British Army are reopened by local people on both sides of the border.
Leitrim is the only border county without an official road into Northern Ireland. Some people refer to the blockade between the villages of Rossinver in Couny Leitrim and Garrison in County Fermanagh as part of Ireland’s Berlin Wall.
Locals from both sides of the border have decided enough is enough and opened the road themselves. Their action was mirrored at two other crossings in County Monaghan and County Donegal in a day of action organised by the organisation Irish National Congress to highlight the hardship and inconvenience caused by the closed roads.
The roads were originally closed by the British Army as a security measure. It is claimed this action has split communities and even families. In some case people must take journeys of up to 30 miles to reach places that might only be a mile apart.
Unity
Isn't that nice to see🙏
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes & Yes 100 billion trillions times yes
All I see is a bunch of scruffy smugglers clearing the way for their diesel tankers.
@@gazzanorth4373 I hope you get a United ireland to bring peace to your beautiful part of Ireland. It’s terrible to see you upset & emotional to this video! Just know the whole world is praying for you & your country 🇮🇪🙏🏻
@@bizmarck731 Away get your head checked. There is peace at present. Ever hear of the GFA. A united Ireland forced upon the British people of Ulster will cause civil war. The island will become a wasteland.
I remember this day very well, my friends and I were on our way back from our hard works with a van load of money, lose money, borrowed money, blue money, as we drove into this roadway we were in a hurry to get back for our homes for our lunch. We had a hold up until the concrete slabs were drilling down to dust and the road was opened, the very Gardie waved us through with a smile and a wave we continued our journey allowing us to continue on our journey to total happiness and to none stop holidays, fast cares, money in the bank, Like cousin Jo Walsh said Life Has Been Good So Far and my friend and I am very thankful
...and in a nutshell, why partitioning Ireland is a waste of everyone's time.
Im very happy the Republic left the UK. Long live Northern Ireland🇬🇧
Republicans should have thought about that before they decided to leave the UK.
@@gazzanorth4373 Why? Do you think Germany was better WITH The Berlin Wall?
@@kitsilanomusician2669 There has always been one island, two nations. Makes perfect sense. As for the security barriers in the video they were put there to help stop IRA death squads using the border roads as rat runs to commit genocide against the isolated border protestants.
@@gazzanorth4373 hahaha there lad your wee so called country is going to be united with the 26 very soon 😘😘😘😘😘😘 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 26 + 6 = 1
Ah the old days.Not a stitch of PPE !!!Crack on lads
Yes I noticed that sparks flying from the cutter and no eye protection.
Careful there now lads, down with that sort of thing.
They forgot to put the covers on 'My Lovely Horse'.
That's what happens.
Time to unite the country we can't be dealing with this Brexit stupidity.
That's Tory England with its British Empire mentality.
I agree let’s unite the country. We would never of had this silly partition if 26 counties didn’t leave the UK ✌️🇬🇧
@@noodlyappendage6729 the occupied six counties are being reunited with the 26 under IRISH LAW
Literally what the DUP thought they were getting from Brexit.
My mum used to smuggle goods during WW2 from Rossinver to Garrison, I know that barricade well. I once found a book of paintings done by an army officer who was in charge when the road was blown up. One of his paintings shows the road been blown up with the Leitrim hills in the background.
What took you so long???
Was nice of them to let Charlie Chaplin lend a hand, eh.
The Irish border is an obscenity imposed by a foreign power whose ongoing delusions of Empire grandeur prevent a relationship of equals between these two islands. I respect all those who fought to remove this border and end British domination of Ireland.
Blame the unionists and the people hundreds of years ago who put those twats there. We'd be more than happy to give northern Ireland to the Republic but for the sake of democracy we have to listen to the unionists who are becoming a minority on their own turf. Soon I suspect a majority of people in Northern Ireland will want to join the Republic and this can finally be put to rest.
You live on the propaganda and lies of the IRA.
@@fishcereal9940 Believe that and you will believe anything.
The border was put there to keep you murdering mick's in your own pig sty.🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@patricklamshear1806 cry
These people are heroes. A genuine "F-You" to the British Army
And Bloody Sunday was a F-You back lol
If it keeps you papist out all the better. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Explosives might help this removal.
@@tipperary1082 Yeah, that crossed my mind as I was typing my comment. Though, I imagined there's a number of people who know how to make and use them. I equally imagine, using explosives might draw unwanted attention.
@@dougschlitte9409 Careful there now lads, down with that sort of thing.
Controlled explosion is simply a tool. A simple stone can make a tool. Nearly anything, can be used as a tool, which can be used in a way that is nurturing, or not, concerning the parties involved. It's a matter of intent. I was speaking of the practical application of explosives in a controlled way, using lead blankets over strategic spots where small charges are placed in drilled holes. Like is done on construction sites in the city, to break up bedrock to build foundations for skyscrapers.
If they used explosives they could be charged with a crime but this way, they couldn't.
@@tipperary1082 in 1992 north of Ireland? 🇮🇪… falls rd, short strand, no mans land… list goes on 😂. Thankfully the troubles are over in the north of Ireland now.
We’ve come a long way baby
Let me get this straight ; so the British thought that rebuilding a road was something that a bunch of Irish men couldn't do...🤔🙄
It's what you navies do .
@@patricklamshear1806 navies¿
@@i-dont-understand-you-plea1626 I think he's confused. He's a man who hasn't mastered Primary 5 level spelling and he's implying that the Irish are thick. I'd say that the irony was lost on him, but he'd think I was talking about metal.
@@kasimsultonfan think the poor little divil ment to say “natives” not sure though, could be some lower class dole merchant slang?
@@i-dont-understand-you-plea1626 almost certainly.
I passed through Garrison once
Wouldn't take long
Oh, then Basil Brooks me name
With me orange sash I came
For to beat me drum on the twelfth day of July
And the English queen and crown
I'll never let them down
"Up the Border, keep the border!" is me cry
Oh, then Basil, you're the man
To walk with an orange band
For you never talk to papish fenian taigs
And with orangemen you're seen
We don't like the colour green
"Up the border, keep the border!" is me cry".....and there's more..I'm afraid it's days are numbered..😀
Down with that sort of thing
Lol you little guys are funny 🤣🇮🇪
thats an old one for sure, brings back memories.
Ah, those were the days, not one Eastern European in the work gang. No onsite road safety committe. No high viz or any other PPE. The chap using the pneumatic hammer probably probably learned how to use it by picking it up and pressing the button. No special course needed. No road safety awareness course required either. No gender awareness course in case you were working with someone who hadn't decided what gender they were yet! I miss those simpler times!😂
You won't be saying that when it rains and everyone else has jackets.
Leitrimite here, think we should build a border around the entire county now, the border was a mighty job and WE need to protect ourselves while we prepare for the great revolution of 2026
Their purpose was to stop the movement of Alcohol/Tobacco/Livestock/Arms/Munitions/Drugs/Women/Fuel/Ringers etc but those IBCP closures were often taken down as quickly as they went up.
Stop the movement of all that but women ?
