Archiving Irish Diversity Stuff (AIDS)
I seriously can't listen to most of the anti-lockdown types on social media as I just kick myself whenever I hear some stupid shit like ''WE'LL ALL BE WEARING THE YELLOW STAR MARCHING NEXT TO THE NEW AUSCHWITZ'' Just please stop, if its cringe for myself…

Emmet Dalton describes The Somme, 1976
Dalton was a pretty interesting character. He joined the Irish Volunteers in 1913 and was weapons smuggling for them although only aged 15. When WW1 broke out, under the recommendation of John Redmond with the promise of Home Rule, Dalton along with 20,000 other Irish Volunteers would join the British Army to fight the war. He would fight in many battles, among them was the bloody fighting during the Battle of Ginchy, in which over 4,000 Irishmen were killed or wounded & earned him the Military Cross. Among the casualties was a personal friend of his, Tom Kettle, who was an up and coming figure in moderate Irish nationalism before his death at the Somme. Dalton would be promoted to Captain by the end of the war.
When he arrived home after the war, he & his younger brother Charlie would join the IRA where he quickly rose to IRA Director of Intelligence, becoming close friends with Michael Collins & was involved in the Squad, the Dublin-based assassination unit.

Dalton accepted the Anglo-Irish Treaty and he was commanding the troops at the Four Courts following Collin's commands. He was in the car with Collin's when he was killed at Béal na Bláth. Dalton had advised him to drive on, but Collins, who was not an experienced combat veteran, insisted on stopping to fight. He held one of the highest ranks, as major general, in the pro-Treaty National Army but resigned his command following the assassination of Collins and would denounce the Free State execution of republican prisoners.
He worked a bit in the Seanad before he working in film production in Ireland and the US. In 1958 he founded Irish Ardmore Studios in Bray and his daughter is the Irish actress Audrey Dalton. There’s many clips of Dalton speaking of his time in WW1 and during the Tan / Civil War as well as a book written by his younger brother Charlie on the Dublin Brigade.

Before Eoghan Ruadh Ó Néill untimely death (either poisoned or death from infected wound) Daniel O'Neill, his nephew, saw signs of mental debility. "God help him," said he, "he talks of freeing Ireland first, and afterwards expelling the Turk from Europe" — glorious boyhood dreams on Tyrone hills flashing back after fifty years on the darkening intelligence of the great old warrior. The world and its cares were passing away, and on the 6th of November, 1649, the news was borne to a doomed Ireland, that the greatest of her sons was dead.

At the 1906 Olympic Games Peter O’Connor scaled the flag pole and tore off the Union Jack, which represented him, replacing it with an Irish flag.
At the base of the flag pole the other Irish athletes fought the officials who tried to stop him.

Far right-wing group deliver racist leaflets to houses in South West Dublin
Some of the leaflet was deemed as 'racist' by a local living in the area
"But we who labour for the genuine regeneration of our country cannot be content with mere material improvements- we seek to restore to our country her true traditional spirit, her true historic lineaments....We seek in a regenerated Ireland not a mongrel country built up after the image and likeness of England, nondescript in population, nondescript in pursuits, nondescript in public spirit. We want the future to reflect the past, in its essential spirit, but to improve on that past by reading in the clear mirror of native history the failings of that past, and by seeking to avoid them, and by reproducing the fidelity, the public spirit, the highmindness and the other virtues that reflect glory on our race."

This is unironically what most ''refugees'' claim to try get asylum here For notice, Jude Max Barrett was a founding member of the Irish Refugee Council so if he finds your asylum application implausible, it's safe to say it's a load of bollocks
An Irishwoman was raped by a Nigerian ''Refugee'' who faked that he was gay in order to gain Asylum back in Waterford, 2014.

Because this is a predominately Irish society?
We need more Irish teachers who speak Irish, not less.

Reminder this is all an excuse to get rid of the Irish Language in schools once and for all. This sort of talk needs to be opposed at all costs.
