In 1936, 40,000 people attended a Cork demonstration in support of Franco's revolt. Speakers included prominent academic Alfred O'Rahily, who described the Republicans savage persecution of Catholics and called for an end to neutrality. Hecklers were thrown…
Pro-Franco rally outside of Trinity College Dublin in support of Catholic Spain 1936

Lot of people on contemporary Irish left deluding themselves about extent of pro-nationalist feeling in Spanish Civil War on both sides of Treaty split.

The Grand Lodge of Freemasons on Molesworth Street was partially firebombed few minutes after this photo was taken.

This is the story of Phil O’Donoghue who in 1954 joined the Irish Republican Army in Dublin, he subsequently participated in Operation Harvest.

On New Year's Day 1957, Phil was a member of a military column during a raid against an RUC barracks in Brookeboroug, in which Seán South and Fergal O’Hanlon lost their lives.
Along with 38 volunteers he was arrested at an IRA training camp in Wicklow and was imprisoned in the Curragh camp.

This is Phil’s story, in his own words.

2014 Throwback:

> A veteran Fine Gael TD has said immigration has been good for Ireland as the country needed to “expand our gene pool” . Olivia Mitchell claimed immigration in the Celtic Tiger years has already resulted in physical improvements.

>“I think as an island country cut off from the rest of Europe, it’s a good thing that we have a certain amount of immigration. Mobility of races is a good thing,” she said.

>“You can even see the better-looking and taller children now as a result of the Celtic Tiger years. I think it’s a good thing to keep our IQs up there; it’s not just about appearance.”

What a freak, I bet she doesn't live near any such diversity. Immigrants are just exotic pets for these people to virtue signal about

Tfw modern Irish historians put the name of their own country in quotation marks https://www.jstor.org/stable/41473665
absolute state of Irish academia

From the abstract: "This period also saw a new racialization of Irish identity and a conscious affirmation of the “whiteness” of that identity."

Irish identity has been extremely racialised for millennia lol

The authors surname means literally means 'lover of foreigners' so no surprise

It's important to have these quotes like the one above and more alike in the channel showing across history that the Irish have always considered themselves a distinct nation as since the 1970s when crusade to remove "romanticised" Irish history began there…
Abstract: "the ambition is to elicit in participants the deconstruction of ‘Irish’ national identity. Through focus group discussions on identity, ethnicity and citizenship evidence emerges from the transcribed and thematically analysed conversations"

On this day 1755, Hugo O'Conor, member of the dispossessed Gaelic noble Ó Conchubhair family, became the Founding Father of Tucson, Arizona by authorising the building of a military fort there (in service of the Spanish Army). The city now has a population…
Patrice de MacMahon was a French general and politician, with the distinction of Marshal of France. He served as Chief of State of France from 1873 to 1875 and as President of France from 1875 to 1879.

His family were Lords of Corcu Baiscind in Ireland and descended from Mahon, the son of Muirchertach Ua Briain, High King of Ireland. After losing much of their land in the Cromwellian confiscations, a branch moved to Limerick for a time before settling in France during the reign of King William III because of their support of the deposed King James II in the Glorious Revolution. They applied for French citizenship in 1749; after the definitive installation of the family in France, their nobility was recognised by the patent letter of King Louis XV of France.

MacMahon led the main French army in the war against the Germans in 1870 along with Emperor Napoleon III. MacMahon was a devout conservative Catholic, a traditionalist who despised socialism and strongly distrusted the secular Republicans.
Francisco Burdett O'Connor (12 June 1791 - 5 October 1871) was an officer in the Irish Legion of Simón Bolívar's army in Venezuela. He later became chief of staff to Antonio José de Sucre and minister of war in Bolivia. His uncle Arthur O'Connor was the agent in France for Robert Emmet's rebellion of the United Irishmen.

In 1827, Francisco O'Connor was appointed military governor of Tarija + published a proclamation encouraging Irish people to settle in the 'New Erin' of Tarija

Imagine between 1827 - 1840 a solid Irish settlement with hundred thousand people was founded, would've been cool especially just before Famine.

His memoirs entitled Independencia Americana: Recuerdos de Francisco Burdett O'Connor were published in 1895
>Wealthy non-EU visa-seekers pump €62m into Irish social housing in November

>Immigrant Investor Programme gets massive influx of cash as landlords avail of ‘de-risked’ social home leasing initiatives


But I thought the idea of immigration having an impact on the housing crisis in Ireland was a racist myth? What's Peter Dooley's take on this?

"It is only by such an arrangement that pure Irish athletics will be revived, and that the incomparable strength and physique of our race will be preserved." Michael Cusack, founder of the GAA
"The GAA holds a unique position and was founded to serve a great purpose in the life of the Irish nation. Centuries of oppression and ages of hardship and struggle were calculated to undermine the morale and sap the vitality of our people. It was only the invigorating intercourse which native games provided which could counteract such demoralising influences and the pursuit of our traditional pastimes remains still a salutary and an elevating resource."

“The great body of law, institutions and forms, called the 'English Common Law'… is not in Ireland a Common Law at all. It is an alien structure imposed by statute, an exotic from which a cutting has been artificially fostered in Ireland but which has not taken root or become acclimatised in any real sense.

… The institutions, forms and ceremonials of the English Common Law have never been absorbed by the Irish People or become in any true sense their own. They have remained… the features of a foreign system and of alien rule.”


Hugh Kennedy, first Attorney General and Chief Justice of Ireland.
