We need our Government to demand the truth about the IRA

Poor Ireland, whatever you think about past generations they at least had their leaders of stature.

Be it the great Gaelic Lords prior to inviting the English over to take over the country, the great Earldoms of Kildare, Desmond, Tyrone and Ormonde who tried to get us off our knees to fight for our freedom but we preferred to wallow in the mud as long as our overlords gave us enough alcohol and some priests.

Henry Grattan, Wolfe Tone, Lord Edward FitzGerald, O’Connell, Parnell, Redmond, Collins, Cosgrave, de Valera, Lemass, Haughey and FitzGerald. Like them or loath them they held your attention. Then we entered the age of the small minded man and a few women too.
