I was an Irish emigrant living in Amsterdam when this bombing happened . Nearly all the working class Brits I knew expressed regret at Thatcher surviving. Not one gave me a hard time about it. Great interview by the way.

Pat has a smile that can light up a room. I was at his show “Silent “ last night in Kilkenny. Saw it in Carlow a few years ago also. My daughter came with me last night. She has mental health issues. She felt it was wonderful to see this referenced and explored in this play. I wanted to go up to him after the play and tell him I loved him! I didn’t because I thought he’d think I was coming onto him ( which I wouldn’t do to anyone). I met Pat in my youth at a drama course in Gormanstown and he’s as kind and as inspiring as ever.

Imagine being proud to have served the armed forces of our mortal enemy. Free staters are like the Viche French, but to go off and join the ranks of the very outfit that terrorized our people for centuries,,, you can't stoop any lower in this life.

Dave I'm coming home for a holiday and I don't have your contact numbers, every time I lose my phone I lose them, I sent Greg a message.

Dear God, How little you both know. Dev did not go to the Legation, he went to his private residence in Monkstown. The only purpose of his visit was to thank him for his essential correct behaviour . Also Dev insisted that the new German representative NOT be a member of the Nazi party. This was agreed with Germany. He did not sign any book of condolences . This book was sold at a Belfast Auction house in the mid 1950's. I think we might would have seen his signature by now.

Well done Brendan..a true traitor to Ireland..you dirty filthy bastard

the guns were handed over by Colin McVean Gubbins - later head of MI8 - sabotage in France from 1941

Memories of guy fawkes who tried in 1605

Claiming that Thatcher showed restraint, following Brighton bombing, is nonsense; I was fifteen years of age when this happened living in Derry. Usual BS from the the west brits in Dublin.

Iron Lady? She destroyed the mining industry....but the Barry-Mcgee connection for me it's a total mystery ...

What a great, timely, and interesting interview.

It is ludicrous to think that the civil war started with the shelling on 28th June 1922 - it simmered from January 1922 with actions in Beleek Mullingar Limerick etc. the trouble in the north was horrific but has been left out of the "official" war of independence and civil war as strictly defined

WEST COASTERS IF ORDERED TO TAKE THE DOG FOR A WALK THERE WOULD BE CONFLICT OF INTEREST

While the Irish Guards was formed to honour Irishmen in the British Army who fought the Boers in South Africa other Irishmen were naming Hurling clubs such as Lahorna De Wets (outside Nenagh Co. Tipp) to honour the Boers fighting for freedom from the yolk of colonialism.

Very inspiring. I am a dyspraxic and know most of this.

Michael Collins Infiltrated.british military army and Mi5......its a well known fact this is why they Murdered him. . 22..8..1922.Military Surgeon dr Oliver gogarty done an Autopsy.on the wound on Collins head Statement he was Shot with a Mauser handgun. So it could not have been anti treaty forces .Someone within his own Convoy Murdered him . So where did Oliver gogarty examination report go ? .all Military records were destroyed. In 1932 .who gave this order ??? Three people who were involved in what was going on on 22.8..1922 met up in 1960 to get their story ..(.Right ) ... they were under Suspicion.....

Just to add about the Irish Guards LP. It was recorded by Beltona Records. London, England.

I was at a jumble sale many years ago where i bought an LP which was recorded by the THE. PIPES AND DRUMS Ist BATTALLION IRISH GUARDS. Some soldier had already written a date on the sleeve: 27/10/ 1964. The sodier has signed his name on it as Cpl P P.... I have deliberately put in only the fist letter of his sutname. So it looks the LP was recorded some time before the date mentioned. There are some lovely tunes on the LP. like The wearing of the green The last rose of summer Believe me Garryowen The minstrel boy The green hills of Tyrol

If i remember right Jack Doyle tne famous boxer was in the Irish Guards for a time.

Everything you "know" about the period is debatable, don't mind destroyers there were bombers assembled at Chester to bomb the four courts, the artillery was organized by Colin McVean Gubbins an SS man later head of SOE in WW2. Dalton was almost certainly a British Agent and the army believed he was the assassin. The six months Jan to June 1922 were underestimated in terms of the violence not just in the north. Collins death was never an accident there had been six attempts earlier.

Such great person! ❤

Hipster reunion fc place is a pit that ground

Whoa! The real Ruaidhri. Came here because of My Name is Gabriel and Bogum. Thank you, beautiful person.

I was so impressed with the Ramparts on My name is Gabriel that I had to find out more about the real Ruadhri. What an interesting guy!

Hi 👏

Finally i saw the real ruaidhri o dalaigh

saw him conducting on the ramparts reels at ig.i knew it😅 it was him😅

There are some having the same reason to come here…Park Bo Gum😊 Not only that, I am quite impressive and interested in real Ruaidhril. Very interesting interview too. Thank you.

After watching "My Name Is Gabriel 's Park Bogum episode", I have special feeling to see real Ruri. I wonder if Bogum will meet Ruri in the last episode;)

Here because of "My Name is Gabriel"! Really curious to know the real Ruaidhri!

Came here bcs of park bogum😂

Nearly sure i served in chad on his trip

Very interesting

Old boy got a tab, then became a mustang!? Absolute chief behavior.

Excellent discussion , does Paddy have any books on this narrative - and can i pose a question ? - As it has emerged that the British had infiltrated the IRA in the north during the troubles with an extensive number of IRA informers on the payroll - most notably Scapeticci /Agent Steaknife at the highest level - so that they could manipulate and pull the strings -even of the security / army council level of the Provisional movement - right alongside Mc Guinness including treasurers of Sinn Fein - and even had senior agents killed off if ever there was risk rereleasing this fact - is it not logical to ask how far back in Irish affairs did the British operate spies in the senior Irish political system - especially during the initial foundation of the state - and is it not inevitable they controlled ifor when should Collins live or die ?

Good luck....

A lance sergeant is just a corporal …..24 years service….he was obviously hopeless; just a time serving seat warmer.

Took a few days but got there, good tasting

Ireland is not and never has been neutral (we breach international laws on neutrality (including during WW2)), we are very much aligned with NATO and the EU, we provide assistance, we are at best a non-active belligerent

You that sure it's over?

army ranger wing is in comparison to the US Marine Corps haha what a stupid statement.....

What a beautiful soul... 🤍

Guys, You need to wake up and forget about the past as you have a much bigger issue on your hands. Namely these so called Asylum seeking immigrants and how the Irish people are being treated by the Dail. If you don’t get that Leo V and the existing members who are working for Brussels out and a new group of Pro Irish into power, you just might have the Easter up rising of 2024 on your hands. Get al these Muslims out of Republic Ireland. Before they take over the Republic just like England and Scotland.

If Collins had lived would Ireland still be a Dominion like Australia and Canada?

Love this!

Brilliant

Fantastic story. Fantastic woman.

I remember Brendan when I was a red arse aka a gdsm straight from training. Can honestly say he was an absolute gentleman, wasn’t a bollox to the new blokes for the sake of it and always had a massive smile on his face. So glad to see him doing so well much deserved, Top bloke
