We can't solve Ireland's housing crisis if we have to solve Nigeria's too.

The job of an Irish State is to ensure the survival and well being of the Irish People. That means affordable homes for Irish families, not free houses for foreigners or transient living spaces for a global workforce.

"The language which grows up with a people, is conformed to their organs, descriptive of their climate, constitution, and manners, mingled inseparably with their history and their soil, fitted beyond any other language to express their prevalent thoughts in the most natural and efficient way.
To impose another language on such a people is to send their history adrift among the accidents of translation – ’tis to tear their identity from all places – ’tis to substitute arbitrary signs for picturesque and suggestive names – ’tis to cut off the entail of feeling, and separate the people from their forefathers by a deep gulf – ’tis to corrupt their very organs, and abridge their power of expression. The language of a nation’s youth is the only easy and full speech for its manhood and its age."
Davis, 'Our National Language'

The taking over of the Four Courts in Dublin on this day 100 years ago was the key moment before the outbreak of Civil War when the Pro-Treaty side 2 months later, using British artillery, would fire upon their kin inside after pressure from the British Government over the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson.
Those at the Four Courts stated they were to defend the All-Ireland Republic proclaimed at Easter 1916 'against all enemies, foreign and domestic.' The leaders, Liam Mellows, Rory O'Connor, Joe McKelvey and Richard Barrett, would be executed by the Free State by the end of the year. Ernie O'Malley was also a leader but escaped capture.

The auncient and mixt Irish are not only great soldiers but allso warriors; and the Englished are more inclyned to other imployments than to warre: As for their quality or nobility, the question is easily resolved, considering the originall of every sorte by itselfe; for all the titularyes and knightes of the auncient Irish doe descende from the Kings of Spayne and Ireland, and are of auncient bloud royall of that kingdome, derived from Iberus..[...]...
The mixt Irish, although they enjoy not this descent so well authorized by the right lyne of their forefathers, yet they have it by their mothers, who were married to the ancient Irish.
The Englished, although they have not this nobility, yet have they another given by them by the Kings of England, by Parliaments in Ireland, so auncient that it is above 500 yeares that some knightes and Lordes of title began."
