“If the Brehon laws had been at all derived from Roman law, the resemblances would have been far more numerous, intimate and vital, and the whole judicial structure would have probably been different, and with the law itself some of the Roman technical terms would have been adopted, as in all counties that have copied from Roman law.
None of those terms are found in the Irish manuscripts. Many of the Irish laws are as a old as the Roman Law itself. Whether they are good or bad, creditable or otherwise to our race, they are essentially, substantially, and characteristically Irish.”
Excerpt from last chapter where Ginnell argues that Brehon law was truly Irish and very little, if any, foreign influence. Argument supported by Sir Samuel Ferguson.

The noblest share of earth is the far western world
Whose name is written Scottia in the ancient books;
Rich in goods, in silver, jewels, cloth and gold,
Benign to the body, in air and mellow soil.
With honey and with milk flow Ireland’s lovely plains,
With silk and arms, abundant fruit, with art and men.
No fury of bears is there, and the Irish land
Never has nurtured the savage seed of lions;
There no poison harms, no serpent glides in the grass,
No frog harshly sings his loud complaint in the lake.
Worthy are the Irish to dwell in this their land,
A race of men renowned in war, in peace, in faith.
Poem originally in Latin by 9th Century Irish Saint Donatus, Bishop of Fiesole about his love for Ireland, which he misses. He is buried in the Fiesole Cathedral near Florence.
Painting is the 15th Century, Piazza Madonna by Andrea del Verrocchio showing Saint Donatus with John the Baptist with a Madonna and Child.

"Well Tom, the situation generally is beyond anything I could any longer hold out hope for. As you often said, I always held out hopes to the last, but really all are blighted now, and as far as I am personally concerned I feel all my life's work has been in vain. Surely this is a terrible way to feel. Would we could even get back all our glorious dead."
Liam Lynch letter to his brother Tom, June 1922 on the results of the 1922 Irish general election. Civil war broke out the next week.
"The disaster of this war is sinking into my very bones, when I count the loss of Irish manhood and the general havoc of Civil War. Who could have dreamed that all our hopes could have been so brightened"
Liam Lynch writing to Father Tom a few months later into the Civil War, 16th Sept 1922.
Good biography on Liam Lynch is 'No other law : the story of Liam Lynch and the Irish Republican Army, 1916-1923 written in 1950s by IRA veteran Florence O'Donoghue

‘My principle was that even if all other Irishmen chose to submit to that mean tyranny, I for my part would choose rather to die.’ - John Mitchel
Doppelganger. – Satisfactory; but I find the Irish people draw quite a different moral lesson from late events. They are becoming, apparently more moral and constitutional than ever; and O’Connell’s son points to “Young Ireland,” hunted, chained, condemned, transported, and says: “Behold the fate of those who would have made us depart from the legal and peaceful doctrines of the Liberator!” And they hearken to him.
The Ego. – And do you read Ireland’s mind in the canting of O’Connell’s son? or in sullen silence of a gagged and disarmed people? Tell me not of O’Connell’s son. His father begat him in moral force, & in patience and perseverance did his mother conceive him. I swear to you there are blood and brain in Ireland yet, as the world one day shall know. God! let me live to see it. On that great day of the Lord, when the kindred and tongues and nations of the old earth shall give their banners to the wind, let this poor carcase have but breath and strength enough to stand under Ireland’s immortal Green!

John Mitchel writing in Jail Journal (which you should read in link) while being transported to penal colony, he has a dialogue here of a conversation between his imagined Doppelganger (uses it to picture what Redditors say/think) and Himself
In this, he argues Ireland isn't cucked and all about constitutional/political change etc as per Daniel O'Connell (forming the Redmonite tradition) but is ready for an armed insurrection

Also quoted John Mitchel ''To the small farmers of Ireland'' Above all, let the man amongst you who has no gun, sell his garment, and buy one.
"The subjection of Ireland is now probably assured until some external shock shall break up that monstrous commercial firm, the British Empire; which, indeed, is a bankrupt firm, and trading on false credit, and embezzling the goods of others, or robbing on the highway, from Pole to Pole; but its doors are not yet shut; its cup of abomination is not yet running over. If any American has read this narrative, however, he will never wonder hereafter when he hears an Irishman in America fervently curse the British Empire. So long as this hatred and horror shall last – so long as our island refuses to become, like Scotland, a contented province of her enemy, Ireland is not finally subdued.
The passionate aspiration for Irish nationhood will outlive the British Empire."
John Mitchel, The Last Conquest Perhaps, Chapter XXIV. In modern terms, as this was 19th Century, you can swap in 'Globohomo Inc/ZOG' or whatever in place of British Empire.

"The significance of a man like Liam extends beyond his lifetime. Men of his quality are a minority of every nation, but, after they are gone from us, they become ancestors in spirit to a self replenishing heritage. He enriched that conscious sense of nationhood which is the soul of Ireland. He was in harmony with his time and in harmony with the most durable spiritual forces which have moulded and continue to mould the Irish nation. He was amongst the makers of history."
