“The result is not merely to cut us off from a heroic Celtic world—as bright as the pages of Scott and more authentic than those of Herodotus—but to make Irish Nationality an affair of yesterday, an invention of the last English-speaking hundred years, and to surrender those higher landmarks and title-deeds of national individuality which we derive from laws and institutions, and modes of thought all but as ancient and unalterable as the ocean cliffs that secure our Island's throne of nationhood."
William O'Brien criticises "anglicised" Irish nationalism, noting contemporary excessive reliance on Tone and Davis, to the exclusion of the Gaelic tradition.

Surprisingly, the first Irish-language version of the 1916 Proclamation was written by Gearóid Ó Cuinneagáin, founder of Ailtirí na hAiséirghe, in their newspaper Aiséirí in 1941 for the 25th anniversary of the Rising.
Official translation only adopted into state in 1959. Reasons for 1916 Leaders only having English draft was purely pragmatic, being read it in the middle of O'Connell Street and all.

Grace O' Malley was known as the Pirate Queen, and lived in the 16th century. She was the daughter of O'Malley clan chieftain, located in South West of Co Mayo. She was one of the foremost heroine of her time. Her clan controlled the sea routes along the West Coasts of Ireland.
She was married at a young age, to the head of the O'Flaherty clan. When he got killed, she took charge of both clans. She remarries, later on, with Richard Burke, another powerful irish clan chief. But the marriage was short lived.
As England was gaining control over Ireland, Grace was taking pressure, and turned to piracy, blockading Galway port. When the english governor Connaught captured her 2 sons, she sailed to England, to speak to Queen Elizabeth, directly. They met in Greenwich. Grace refuses to bow. They agreed to a truce: if Grace stops attacking english sheeps and switches to spanish ones, her sons would be returned. The Queen kept her side of the bargain.
Grace died at Rockfleet Castle in 1603.

Along with the Official Handbook of the Saorstát (see reply), the Free State government also commissioned 'The Book of the Resurrection (Leabhar na hAiséirighe)' in 1924. Initial funding also came from Joseph McGarrity, a Clann na nGael activist in the United States
Was a 20th-century illuminated manuscript made via traditional means to commemorate the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, and others who died during the Irish War of Independence and "a national memorial to the memory of the heroes who [had] given their lives for the attainment of the absolute independence of Ireland since Easter Week 1916."
Art O'Murnaghan was the artist selected to do it. The manuscript is held by the National Museum of Ireland with few pages in museums around the world.
Imagine if we achieved full freedom and the energy wasn't sapped by the retardation of the Treaty and tragedy of Civil War.

Ernie O'Malley had a photograph of Mussolini sent to him when he was in prison seemingly have sympathies with him.
Mussolini and Italian Nationalist D'Annunzio were supporting Irish revolution at the time, were going to send weapons until ceasefire happened.

Scattered throughout Scotland and now in poor condition are a large number of forts called Brochs. They appear to date from the second century but others may even be a lot older. The Brochs are of Celtic origin and would probably have been built long before the Romans came to Britain.
The walls would be between 12 feet and 15 feet thick, and the tower would be as high as 45 to 60 feet. The tower would generally enclose a narrow courtyard and there would be one entrance which was low and narrow leading straight through to the courtyard.
One of the best preserved Brochs - a round tower dating from the Iron Age - can be seen at Mousa in Shetland off the coast of Scotland

If the races were reversed, the regime would be feasting off this clip for weeks. Instead they'll mobilise to cover it up and protect the vermin.
This is the same Alamin in Kilkenny from the clip above, beating an Irish kid, then forcing him to kneel before continuing the assault.

Tomorrow I'm starting a 1000km walk from Galway, Ireland to Brussels, Belgium in protest against the EU and the current housing, homeless and cost of living crisis in Ireland. The walk will take approximately 28 days to complete and will enter Wales, England, France and Belgium. The walk is to highlight the current plight of the Irish people who are facing another upcoming recession less than 10 years after covering 50% of the overall debt generated by the EU in the previous recession.
The reason I'm walking to Brussels is to highlight the devastating impacts that the EU has had since Ireland joined. These issues involve home ownership decreases, land ownership decreases, child birth decreases, a growing mental health crisis, a growing homeless crisis, debt enslavement as well as watching Ireland's interests being shafted aside in order to entertain EU policies.
Thank you everyone for the support 🇮🇪

Irish Leaving Certificate exams used to promote Black Lives Matter, amnesties for illegal immigrants and concepts like “white privilege” and “micro-aggressions”.
>For example, in the ordinary level paper, students were asked to examine two sources and answer questions about “undocumented” (illegal) migrants.
>The first source was an infographic titled ‘Live Here, Work Here, Belong Here’ published by Migrant Rights Centre Ireland, containing various statistics regarding illegal immigration in Ireland.
>The second source was an adapted extract from left-wing publication The Journal, which contained suggestions that a near blanket amnesty for illegal migrants currently taking place in the country might not go far enough.
>Among the host of questions pupils were asked to complete on these documents, pupils were told to “describe a citizenship project you could undertake, based on organising an event to raise awareness about the plight of undocumented migrants in Ireland.”

100 years ago a generation of Irishmen fought and killed one another over competing strategies to achieve Irish freedom. Today, the parties of Official Ireland collaborate with one another to quench Irish freedom forever. Civil War over competing visions of the same dream is an epic tragedy. But a consensus that dissolves Irish nationality is worse even than a brother war. It is surrender without a fight.
History is not a straight arrow towards progress. The horror of internecine strife, family against family and brother against brother, can be transcended only by an appreciation of valour and tragedy... indeed sometimes valour in tragedy. It can be transcended by the belief in a nation based not on abstract ideas, not on formulas or creeds, but on blood and history. A nation that goes on, tragedy after tragedy, setback after setback, forged and reforged, born and reborn, through the material and spirit of a People.
Republicanism divorced from rooted Irish nationalism is mere Cromwellism. If Ireland is just a colony of finance, a place to make money, a place to pass through, an assortment of random nationalities, then the Civil War was not tragic but comic, not serious but trite. If we trade our country for a mess of pottage, then we have traded an epic history for an inglorious farce. nationalparty.ie/join

"Let us therefore accept the Fenian Cycle. Let us take it as material for stories, as educational material, as dramatic material. What we can learn from it is not insignificant. Courage, nobility of mind, true friendship, good heroism- those things are the harvest for us to be reaped today, the harvest that is the fruit of that small seed that was put in the earth long ago when it was springtime in splendid Ireland."

O'Connell St, Dublin: A young African male is roaring his head off at random people or the demons in his head. He then attempts to grab a child. When confronted, he takes his cock out.
This is our capital's main thoroughfare, overlooked by the headquarters of the Easter Rising. This used to be Dancing Mary's spot.
It's now the brave new Ireland at the centre of the world or as one bystander remarks: "This is what we get for letting them in the country."
