...That God would save us from another world war and give us unbroken peace.

In our house we had two big photos over the sacred heart lamp...J.F.K & Dev... Adored by my Dad...I remember as a child meeting him on three occasions and he shaking my hand..A very tall man wearing a black overcoat. Dev passed away in July 1975.
Any Irish person - at least any Irish person of a certain age - can sense exactly when the cúpla focail have come to an end, and the speaker is about to switch to English.
So true 👍🏻
A Pause you mean))
Dev rises from the grave to deliver a message most relevant to our current situation
Serious? Holy God!
Yes you are right , as he mentions weather extremes of climate change and the dangers of global war .
@@patrickball2493 Yes he mentions weather, and no climate change was not part of the lexicon when he gave that speech.
God bless and rest you dev
I was on Micheal Collins side and think the decision he made was the only one he could make !!
But all of who fought together for freedom and sadly against each other were heroes and may God bless your souls and thank you all 🙏🇮🇪
My Mum came from a Michael Collins family..Indeed I remember my grandmother telling me she met Collins while visiting Dublin..In the six counties I would be called a child of a " mixed marriage,"
Simple brave country men that went from a quiet normal life to a life of fighting
@@pmacc3557 Imagine taking on the greatest Empire in the world..Way more powerful than any other country at that time..."Over its history, a new study found, Britain has invaded almost 90 percent of the world's countries. Only 22 countries escaped British invasion, according to The Telegraph. These findings are outlined in a new book, All the Countries We've Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To"...
@@sentimentaloldme at the risk of being rebuked, I tell my kids (we live on mainland e) that the Irish are the only ines who took on an empire and won and that it was simple men like their grandfather that done the fighting
@@pmacc3557 The Americans did, too. Overwhelmingly simple farmers, sailors, merchant men. Of course we didnt have the extreme close proximity to Britain that the Irish are blessed with. Good health to you
Éamon de Valera's New Years speech in 1967 could have been broadcast last New Year's day and it would have been totally relevant. Nothing has changed!
Legendary man.
Love him or hate him, Dev did his best for Ireland.
@@Wapak95 I would not have played poker against him
Thanks
the one and only "Dev"
He had relatives with the same name. In Madrid I think..
One was more than enough. A well spoken knuckle dragger.
I wish we had him now and what he would think of this coming Referendum, selling out to the E.U
welcome to the man who kept Ireland a second world country well into the late 1980's.
Thought he died in 75. Quite a feat))
Are you blaming him like a lingering fart smell?
And now Ireland is a leftist woke globalist dump that anyone and everyone can come to and get better treated than the Irish.
@@jimmymcjimmyvich9052 it's called a legacy. Get your mammy to explain it to you.
@@jimmymcjimmyvich9052 you've already shown yourself to be a bit thick. Now off you go and tell your drunk buddies that your humour has been a big hit on the internet.
"""LOVE is Rare- LIFE--- is strange ---- NOTHING lasts and ppl CHANGE""--- Diá dháoibh CR's---V.V..🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️................
To all in the comments, read the 1937 Constitution, it is a fundamentally liberal Constitution which protestants certainly liked. One should also know that he was a devout Catholic but not a bigot.
You may say I'm a dreamer...
So there.... Be cheerful and accept the loss of you wonderful little country to the EU and globalism.
🇮🇪✝️🇺🇲
How fitting that we should hear this again at this time, when once again the world is being threatened with a world war.
Words of wisdom.
Artane rhymes with arcane.
He murdered the big fellow
King Kong?
Emmet Dalton did that, he was a British secret agent, under orders that Collins wasn't to come out of County Cork alive.
@@kevinluby4783 who told you that
Yes he did cause the murder of michael collins .dev was a coward and he caused the irish civil war .he also claimed he was not an irish man when his comrades were shot in kilmainan jail .
Couldn't help thinking when he said we don't have tornadoes etc... At the same time there was someone somewhere saying "we might have tornados & hurricanes, but at least we don't have institutional child rape & torture, sanctioned by the state & enthusiastically practiced by the church"
LibTard.
The best political puppet the catholic church ever had.
You mean the Freemasons. You have a lot to learn. That’s if you choose to to remove the scales from your eyes.
Church were the true power until the 70s
Didn't Dev just love the Catholic Church? A shame he didn't care about the unfortunate girls and babies in mother and baby homes and Magdalene laundries. A shame he didn't care about the unfortunate children in industrial schools.
A shame the people talking about the unfortunate women and children 50 years ago don't care about the Irish babies being butchered in abortion mills right now.
The same catholic church that sold us to the British all those years ago
They were in industrial schools for a reason.
You forgot that.
Were you inside his head?
@@Kitiwake I forgot nothing. I didn't think I needed to mention it. Boys were sent to industrial schools for all sorts of reasons including being abandoned, neglected, orphaned, stealing, skipping school. Many of their stories make harrowing reading.
Wasn’t there mass migration around this time? People needed a decent economy not ideological bs
A truly evil man..
Looks a bit like Dustin,, he was a turkey anyway.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Learn your history sonny Jim.
Gaelic sounds Arabic or Yiddish. Which actually fits with prehistoric movements of people and DNA tracking. The Irish are essentially Arabs from the Levant. Hence the dark hair.
Do you know how stupid that sounds, the southern Spanish and Italians are moors.
What are you smoking?
@@acb7074 And the Welsh. Why do you think Tom Jones looks like Colonel Gadaffi? These are very ancient people. The Romans found these tribes already there when they arrived. Sure some had come from the Iberian peninsula in a more recent wave, but boat people from the middle east had made that journey much earlier. Hence the Gaelic sound.
@@acb7074 The ancestors of the Stone Age farmers began their journey in the Bible lands, where agriculture first began, and arrived in Ireland perhaps via the southern Mediterranean. They brought with them cattle, cereals, ceramics and a tendency to black hair and brown eyes.
These settlers were followed by people, initially from the Pontic steppe of southern Russia, who knew how to mine for copper and work with gold, and who carried the genetic variant for a blood disorder called haemochromatosis, a hereditary genetic condition so common in Ireland that it is sometimes called Celtic disease.
These people also brought with them the inherited variation that permits the digestion of milk in maturity - much of the world becomes intolerant to the milk sugar lactose after infancy - and they even brought the language that became what is now Irish. Some of them, too, had blue eyes.

Any wonder the country was fucked!
