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.

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
Doonagore Castle, a 16th century tower house at Doolin, Clare. Owned originally by the O'Connors, before passing into the possession of the O'Briens. 170 shipwrecked Spanish sailors from the armada were hanged by English authorities here in 1588.
"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."

Dineen, "The Irish Language Revival Movement" (1904)
Because this is a predominately Irish society?

We need more Irish teachers who speak Irish, not less.

From 3 days ago:

''Migrant teachers taking part in the study had a varied range of qualifications.

“These teachers were legitimate teachers in other jurisdictions; for most, this is no longer the case in Ireland.”

Just 19% were registered as teachers here; 11% with full registration and 8% who were registered with conditions and had to address some ‘shortfalls’ in their qualifications. These ‘shortfalls’ typically relate to the Irish Language Requirement at primary level, or for further studies focussing on a specific age range or specific elements of the curriculum.''

They want to get rid of the language from schools and this is a first step - don't allow it to happen!

This will be where this slippery slope will end up, with foreigners claiming funding for the Irish Language discriminates against them.

Pushback on this will be of utmost importance over the next few decades.

The ''academics'' are no different than the ''experts'' over at Vice.

>The letter includes signatures from staff at University College Cork, Munster Technological University, the national College of Art and Design and NUI Galway, as well as the Committee of the LGBT+ Staff Network at UCC, University College Dublin and NUI Galway.

Most of the ''academics'' are propably people with gender studies degrees and shit anyway and want to push their sexual fetishes onto children.
