    As a British Person I have read and seen a fair bit about Brendan Hughes and although I don`t condone what went on over there, from both sides, I think that he is someone who believes passionately in his fellow Irishmen and is a Man of principle and not a Bigoted sectarian. My respect to the Man. RIP.

    It must also be remembered that NI was settled with Anglo-Scot protestants after 1690. The native Irish landowners were thrown out, their tenants thrown out. There was great prejudice against Catholics by the English, and it played out that in Brendan's time, Catholics could not find jobs, were denied sufficient housing, could not vote.

    Brendan Hughes was a republican legend of his time though this can be said of many others who played there part n this phase of the struggle for the freedom fighters who fought n died for there bravery n courageous skills can not be forgotten us as republicans have a job to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for Irish freedom may there memory live on like tone Pearse before them all over the 6 counties and beyond Erin go Bragh🇮🇪32

    loved it, but brendan was born on the loyalist end, not the lower falls, iin fact, just before he became active over the threatening of 'st peters' he was 'marked' as protestant, and potential victim, bc of where he was born.. =) good, respectful piece tho. sláinte mo chara, erin go bragh.

    Quiet like the man, shame he had to go through all the troubles, I blame the political issues mainly, if born in a different Country in different circumstances he could have had a very different life. Saying that if he was convicted of terrorism in say America he could have faced the death penalty.

    If you paid money to study Irish history at the university of South Dakota I would advise you to get your money back..this video is the most amateur attempt at the complex history of my country that I have ever seen, so much so that I doubt the credentials of this channel, or indeed this University. If this is the best attempt at the history of the complexity of the 30 years of the Troubles of Northern Ireland then shame on you..this is Trump University standard..shame on you.

    • @bobwaits4683
      @bobwaits4683 4 года назад +1

      @Dianna R. I said "complex" history , not complete history?? This is not even a snapshot of Irish History, it is devoid of any analysis / interrogation or attempt at providing context, therefore it is would be better described as propaganda. I presume your use of caps lock is to indicate that you are shouting? The Wonderful President remark explains a lot....ná léacht faoi sin nach bhfuil a fhios agat faoi.
