Bloody Sunday was at a Gaelic football match, not association football (aka soccer). But yeah, either way it was completely deplorable

You seem to forget that de valera was the one to blame he sent Collins to the UK knowing full well that the British wasn't going to give them what he as in de valera wanted and so he made Collins lose face with the Irish public he knew it because if Collins came back with a full independence and withdrawal then de valera wouldn't have had any place in the new government plus he was the only signatory that wasn't executed why because he held an American passport and who let the British k ow there was an uprising happening the the British got a phone call from the American embassy so I would blame DE Valera for all of that disaster

The main singer is a fishing enthusiast like yourself 🎣

Many thanks Sean!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I agree

Thank you! Cheers!

I agree

I agree something about local history makes it more intmate

Absolutely Michael! They shall be remembered forever for their bravery and their unfortunate struggles. These (as I always say) are the people we must endeavour to be like.

Well Said I agree

There were very few winners if indeed there were "Winners" during that terrible period in our history. May God have mercy on all of their souls for they fought for what they believed in and we must respect them for that. Yes there were terrible atrocities which I will not condone but they were very different times sadly.

I totally agree

I agree

Whilst all of our interviewees were absolutely amazing. I think it's fair to say that we couldn't have done this without Liz Gillis. She's an absolutely remarkable person whom I have the greatest of respect for and am very proud to call my friend.

Definitely Liz gillies is a top notch historian

ruclips.net/video/2yBWDbYuDEI/видео.html If you haven't already heard it, this is a radio play in which the Bishop's actions are discussed. Its a dramatisation so not all of it is factual but the majority of it is. I'd be interested to hear what you think 👍

@@TherealBrendanHayesFilmMaker : I tend to deal in fact rather than dramatisations. I'll give it a listen though. Thanks for the link..

That's beautiful Alana!

@@TherealBrendanHayesFilmMaker thanks so much ,nice of you to say ,many congratulations looking forward Hales,wonderful your keeping memory and history alive ,have a lovly Christmas.

@Alana Ni Dhrisceoil Many happy returns. Wishing you and yours a very happy and holy Christmas and every good blessings for 2023.

Given the fact that this was recorded in the centenary year, many felt it was respectful not to discuss it in case it eclipsed the bravery of the volunteers at the time who had endured terrible hardship as we know. Yes the false surrender has been debated over the years and those who deny the British called a false surrender have been questioned by many renound historians as the claim that Barry was "Making it up" were heavily refuted with significant debate. In the 101st year we have discussed why many believe there was a false surrender in this new documentary ruclips.net/video/39aYMyc1KgU/видео.html as those who claim it didn't occur never gave a significant/worthy explanation as to why "it didn't" I suppose after 101 years, ots now left for people to make their own minds up independently.

Ireland for the Irish

Delighted you enjoyed it Oliver! We have many more projects planned so make sure to stay tuned to the channel.

I'm honoured that you were impressed by my acting and thank you ever so much for wonderfully kind words.

That means a lot James! Thank you so much for your support.

Definitely

Barry was brave and brilliant

Thanks a million Finny. Really enjoyed working on this and America will be a completely different ball game as it will be a fictitious lead support role I'll be doing.

It must have been a real honour to have met him. He was without doubt an absolute genius.

Wow wish I did

You do know that breens hero was Michael Collins and he had massive respect for him? And better FG/FF in govt together than those economic fantasy merchants Sinn Fein 🙄

Alex is a wonderful young fella and he knows an awful lot about the war of Independence. I hope he has passed on the interest to you.

@@TherealBrendanHayesFilmMaker I will watch this video fully becuase even though I am not Irish, I feel that the English did very Hitlerish things to the Irish just for fun. Why would a country own an island that 90% hated them?

@@jimmyneut2702 I hope its educational for you and unfortunately there are wars and conflict since time began. Let me know what you think when you're finished watching 👍

They were certainly powerful in so many ways but I'm sure they had certain critics too. I think we're all burnt out from covid and to be fair we're not the only country suffering. Its difficult to remain positive but we need to now more than ever. We're literally living in world war 3 battling an invisible virus but all we can do is hope it won't last for too long more. I've had personal difficulties with our current environment and many other people I know are in the same situation as are we all. My best wishes to you and yours and I hope you're all keeping well.

Oh for god's sake. Wearing masks, such a burden. If those patriots had to wear masks to get Ireland free, they would have just given up. What a freakin' snowflake you are.

They were absolutely legendary. To think they were part time farmers, Carpenter's, stone masons etc with no military training and yet they won a significant battle that was a turning point during the war of Independence. May we never ever forget these brave men 💚🤍🧡💪

@@TherealBrendanHayesFilmMaker Great documentary,thanks for posting,I have just watched 1 about the West Mayo flyin columns,they were great fighters too,and gave the auxies and tans a good run for their money,also the Women done heroic work,God bless them all ☘🇮🇪☘👍 Kilroy's Column was exceptional☘🇮🇪☘

@@rambojp73 We must never forget the role the Cumann na mBan played in the war of Independence. I could do an entire documentary on them. We're currently trying to raise funds for a war of Independence movie next year via PayPal account which is tombarryfilm@gmail.com and all contributions will be credited in the movie. Regardless of what we earn, we are definitely making this movie as the script is incredible! I myself didn't write it but I'll be directing so if you know anyone interested who may be able to help us out that would be fantastic. I'd love to tell you more but we have a Facebook page called "Forget not the boys" and we'll be making a big announcement there in the new year. All war of Independence fans are going to absolutely love what we have in store. It will be filmed in West Cork and the funding will focus on costumes, props and high quality equipment and depending on how much we can earn, we'd also like to pay our actors a modest fee as we have some incredible talent lined up.

@@TherealBrendanHayesFilmMaker This whole thing sounds absolutely brilliant,would love to see what you come up with,and would support in any way I can,your right this generation need to know how important the brave women of the Cumann na mban were to the war of independence,so I will bid you good luck Brendan in all your future endeavors ☘ Mo Chara ☘🇮🇪☘

I'll catch up with you on Facebook 👍☘🇮🇪☘

Firstly every comment here is accurate. and secondly freedom to me is not being a second class citizen in your own country, as the Irish Catholics were under British rule. The next point is the erosion of Irish culture through its membership of the EU. As I said, as a trading alliance great as a political union no its UN-democratic and erodes member states freedoms and choices, by stealth .

@@peteroreilly982 We were not second class citizens. We were three times per capita overrepresented in the UK Parliament, the government spent more on us than on people in GB and we were part of a union we were not under ''British rule''. We were British citizens and we are still British in every sense except the strictly legal one. There were no anti-Catholic laws. The RIC was even more Catholic than the general population. The Catholic Church had a very close relationship with the government and there were Catholic chaplains in all British military units. Catholics believe in obeying lawful authority as our government indubitably was. The Bishop of Cork said that killing policemen was ''morally murder and politically of no consequence.'' The subsequent bishop was Cornelius Lucey who was very anti-IRA and he came from Kilmichael! Even then 10% of people in the Republic of Ireland are British citizens. Irish culture has eroded since we split from the UK: bitterly ironic isn't it?

@@georgecallaghan4710 Well we my not have been legally second class citizens, but when the main employers, housing agencies, military, police , civil service were controlled and run by protestants or west British Catholics. it was very hard to make a living for the average catholic. Even Drummond fearful of growing numbers of Catholics from the country coming to Dublin changed the requirement for getting into Dublin corporation from being voted in, to requiring you to be a property owner to get in. So there was always barriers stop Catholics. In relation to being British , if you feel more comfortable considering yourself British that's fine by me, but don't cast your net in a generalised comment about the majority of us being British. Having said that, I do believe in today's situation we would be better off leaving the EU and remaining a trading partner with the UK. Leo Varadkar done us no favours playing the Northern Ireland card to try derail Brexit. I think the EU are using Ireland like a straw dog in the post brexit landscape and our great leaders are to blind to there own EU ambitions they cant see the wood for the trees.

@@peteroreilly982 There has not been a barrier to stop Catholics. Many people were poor but that was not because we were in the UK. That did not change for decades after Partition. It is true that Protestants on the whole were wealthier but that is not justification for the crimes of the IRA.

@@alananidhrisceoil9329 I salute the freedom fighters of Eire: the RIC and the British Army. Being Irish makes you British. You need to learn to spell.

If an antagonist of any kind entered anyone's home unlawfully then the immediate reaction would be to defend yourself, your family and your home. The reaction from Tom Barry et al was exactly that but obviously on a larger scale. As you say "Burning of Cork" and much more was "terrorism" and terrorism can only be met with defence/opposition. They did all this to free the people of Ireland from a foreign fear that had decimated their quality of life to zero. Anyone who would defend the actions of the crown forces should be very careful in how they use their words.

@freebeerfordworkers your point is with all your nonesense talk ,Irish didn't kill enough if I was back then I wouldn't stop till everyone of ye was wiped out I'd go for your so called king first , tiocfaidh ar la 😁💪🇮🇪

Well said

Oh yes because it’s left wing politics thats what destroyed Ireland’s economy and left a current generation with zero chance of owing a home. The centre right FF/FG government is coming to and end. The youth are fed up and the right Don’t have any answers.

Let the bloody anglo-saxon english go. What is wrong with you? We care about our Celtic people only (Scot, Irish, Welsh, Cornish). Are you daft?

Wales was the heartland of Labour, bach

@@vanpallandt5799 You must change your thinking. This is not about economics, politics, the easter bunny ad infinitum ad nauseum. This is abour our CELTIC PEOPLE. It is our PEOPLE ONLY who will gain our freedom from the bloody english. Always include our Cornish brethren. Merry Christmas.

@@pmcclaren1 seems in other YT threads to be mainly white English right wingers moaning about the burden of having all these lefty Celts and banging on abt their Magna Carta

It was the RUC that shot your grandfather's brother-in-law as by this date the unit(Auxiliaries) were disbanded. Lots of Auxiliaries,Black & Tans would later join the Palestine Police Force.

@@johnroche7541 John sorry you're correct it was Ulster Specials. It seems the local RUC station had been attacked by IRA snipers - the gates of the police station were threw open and a tender came out full of Ulster Specials, they started to take pot shots at anybody and everybody in the vacinty of McDonnell Street on the Lower Falls - poor Thomas was shot through the throat, he was taken to hospital where he died of his wounds

You can always move there

@@robertlong6350 won’t need to the wheels are moving up here towards independence,

@@arthurfnshelby4335 Good I am glad, if you don’t want to live under a Scottish queen, a list of Scot Prime-minister, Blair and Brown war criminals and inept. I just wish you were independent In the 1700 S when you were skint and only sign the act of union because you were bankrupt.

what are you talking about we have left-wing fools running Scotland the SNP. the IRA walking in Glasgow & Drugs dealers marching across the land, the highest in Europe but just blame the English . bloody wake up its 2021 not 1345

I wish you could get independence so I wouldn't have to hear people like you and Sturgeon bang on and on about it all the time. Ireland "a fair and progressive country" with no NHS under the control of the Germans and French in the EU . I'm happy living on the Scottish border calling myself British ,proud to be British .

You actually believe that? Lol

And now we have a blue flag with gold stars INDEPENDENCE ?

@Caroline you where not took out by the English more Scots voted out than voted for Nicky & the Welsh all voted out it's called & spelt the Union The Scottish people voted to remain part of the Union remember it's called democracy

@Caroline how many voted to stay in the UK

@Caroline the great Scottish people voted to remain in the United Kingdom the Union you remember that it's called democracy

@Caroline you lost get over it it's done we are out thank God for Brexit have a nice Christmas

All the races of the British Isles were treated badly in history, including the English. Think Peterloo Massacre and the attempts to suppress The Chartist Movement. The awful conditions of the wage slaves of the cotton mills. Even the murderous Black and Tans were recruited out of the poverty and unemployment following WW1 The perpetrators were the Norman aristocrats and their descendants who ruled for their own gain. These families still exert influence to this day. Ireland got the worst of it and that cannot be denied.

In charge of their own country they don't even have an NHS and their ruled by the EU ,So what are you on about?

@@mauricetrotter6010 they are doing a lot better than the north, which I suppose wouldn’t be hard

@Caroline I never said anything about Bobby sands ..I can only admirer a man of such commitment , as Bobby , and the others of course ..And as we both know , At the end , The whole organisation was Riddle with ( Informants ) , some got what they deserved, like some time ago I watched a documentary on a guy who had been very close to Jerry Adams ,( And I liked Jerry Adams and still do ) And god knows how many volunteers he had killed ..or put in prison for many many ,years .and he caused untold misery and suffering on his own people , This guy forgets his name ..bottom line he had done what he done ..Then he must have known at some time it's going to happen ...And it did ,he was in a white cottage , in the beautiful country side you have there .and then ,went on a TV program ..of course it was seen by certain people ..And the END was near for him .. And rightly so ... Needless to say , He won't be seeing the green fields ..on a Irish moan any more ,But am not sure he did as much EVIL , As Steak Knife !!! Don't I ramble ?

@Caroline As a Brit, it really DISGUST Me , and makes my blood boil , to know what the English did to the Irish people ...My birthday is on 17march ...may be that's why IAM interested in Irish history ..don't pretend to know a great deal , But I know what I know , And if I was born in Ireland ...I know for a fact ..Would I would have fought and died for ..And it certainly wouldn't have been for the British ..
