Extremely interesting watching from Los alcazares, Murcia 😅 Espana. My name is CAROLINE Barnewall, take a trip to Drimnagh CASTLE, So honoured to have this heritage and motto is Loyal until death or never dishonour. Only CASTLE to have a moat in Ireland. Would a response 😅while spending my next 7 months in Murcia with 2 Jack Russell going on 17 years and 2 Pembroke CORGIES, names Foxie and Duchie, loyal to Queen Elizabeth who had 30 CORGIE in her lifetime.
The Irish people are incredible brave Men unlike the shills in government

Sisssssssssster maevvvvvvvvvvve❤
Sad History
Call that a War Irishmen who fought Real War in Flanders saved country from German Occupation Germans made Black Tans Look like Boy Scouts
These burnings were a strange part of the era - My Great Grandfather was called The Man Who Burned Calafenish ( though it really didn't burn at least not much) started with someone shooting at his car. He piled out with some Free State soldiers demanding answers and things got rowdy..
Seãn Dermody, is that an Australian uniform ?
God it's marvelous what Rebublican history can come up with
Very impressive piece of work, fabulous documentary and looking forward to seeing more.
The only Real Battles fought by Irish men in those days were on Western Front in Flanders
Nice try

Amen.👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐💐🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🙂🙂🙂🙂.
That's it? REALLY? How pathetic! An minor ambush of a unit which doesn't even constitute an understrength platoon and this is considered a huge triumph?
Any involvement of the Auchmuty or Amooty family who were connected to the Forbes family - and by this time - worked for them?
Does anyone have more information on the Auchmuty - some Amooty - family?
When we see what's happening in Ireland now currupt political parties and Ireland being handed over to the migration army, Irish people give up their own lives for nothing, what a total waste Of hero's lives. There is no pride in the Irish people these days, the shame of it is too much to bare.
Hi John. I really enjoyed watching this last night. I have a rowing boat similar to your own. May I ask is the a slipway I can launch it? Kind regards. Rob
Rewriting history to suit an expansionist narrative, justifying proxy incursions, ethnic cleansing and violent activities into other countries, is not uncommon. Even on our own doorstep, the Republic of Ireland have rewritten, not only their history, but also inserted their fictionalised version of history into their constitution and national anthem. "A Nation Once Again" or “reunification” are fictional, concepts, nonsense statements, as there was never a sovereign Southern Irish government that governed Ulster, now called Northern Ireland. Ulster or Britain have been the only two historical rulers of Ulster. Ulster was independent kingdom before being subdued and ruled by the British, conquered centuries after our Southern Irish neighbours. “A Nation Once Again” for Ulster, now called Northern Ireland, would be independence, not unification, as claimed by the Republic of Ireland at every opportunity.
On a visit home, I’m from Belfast, we stayed around Longford and it was the Longford’s paper’s anniversary. It was interesting to read after the treaty about how good it was to see all the young men who had been on the run were now at dances, just doing what young men do and who weeks before were checking how many belles they had left.
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation sir! Thank you for expanding my understanding on this battle.
Fantastic video, They're a special fish ❤
Now to begin again with the invaders of the 3rd world army full,of hate for Ireland 🇮🇪
Filth
enjoyed viewing this video
Father murray was my history teacher
I'm not sure that Colonel Dyer was from Mayo as stated here in this video. I understand that he was born in the Punjab while it was under British rule. With regard to the massacre at Amritsar there is often a conflation between the similar sounding names of Colonel Dyer and his superior Sir Michael O'Dwyer, a British civil servant who was born in Tipperary. Sir Michael was assassinated by being shot twice and he died instantly in 1940 at a book signing in London by a Sikh avenging the infamous massacre. The scurrilous Indian perpetrator was duly hanged.
Respect and Honour to the Freedom Fighters Respect to the Flying Columns
Amen
Thank you for a very interesting video. I may be wrong but I think something similar happened in the Scottish highlands except the landlords emptied the lands completely.
Informative and well presented. Thank you. From the research I’ve done on the surname Mimnagh, which is almost exclusively from Lietrim-Longford, it means “ Munster man “ ie someone from the province of Munster, south west Ireland. Mimnagh or Mimnugh, is a sobriquet ( a descriptive word for a place or name that becomes more common than the original name) the original name being Kennedy or Cennetig.
Well done, Mr O'Hara. Your voice tells it all.
I completely agree it was sad that all those fine regiments were dispanded, but what other choice was there? No one would have joined them, especially from Ireland.
Annoys me when he keeps saying “England”.
Breaks my heart any Irish man ever served under the Brits in their abhorrent Empire. Fair play to the Rangers.
"Breakfast" was a success, Lunch not so good and Dinner a complete disaster.
Very interesting Longford played a big part in Ireland s war of independence with superb leaders in Sean maceoin and Sean Connolly
I think it's time for a New in-depth biography of legendary Longford leader Sean maceoin who gave a 50 year service to Ireland in war and peace there's finally an in-depth biography of Liam Lynch Sean maceoin is not just famous in Longford but throughout Ireland a hint to Mel Farrell and Marie Coleman both top notch historians to write a biography of legendary Longford leader Sean maceoin
Any more information on Bill Duncan?
Jasus very good well put together lads!
Carrigtwohill barracks was 1st barracks to be taken @ burned..Diarmuid O Hurley was in charge @ was killed in Midleton about 6 wks before cease fire .Most of his colum were killed in Clonmult which was the biggest loss of life suffered by I R A during the war of independence
And the place looks the same as 1920 ..dump
Im surprised as the narreteur use s the verb murder , of a British agent in Ireland ? I would have thought execution , or killing ? Might be closer to the event ?
The Anglo Norman (English) were everywhere. At least half the population in Ireland has English descent
The dna data is far more complex and nuanced than that, and varies by region. Doubt it would be as high as 50 percent outside of NI.
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah right 😂😂😂
Very interesting and well done that lord Leitrim Clements landlord was despicable glad to see him getting his just desserts too bad they missed four times bad shots on agent dyas but glad to see the 0 hara s survived
How pathetic!
You call this a battle? COME ON! A company arrives to do a search operation, is fired upon, pulls back and regroups and then advances again to find their opponents gone? The IRA are so pathetic, thank god the Tans beat them
“beat them” keep telling yourself that
@@username-yc3bd Of course they did, the Treaty gave Britain everything we wanted. Or did Irish Nationalists have a civil war over the terms of their "victory"? Come on Nazi boy, give it up, it's the Shamrock Awakening, break your brainwashing.
The Longford lRA kicked their arses. The Tans were named after a pack of dogs--bunch of mercenary curs.
@@redlongford No, the Tans were named after a famous foxhunt. They were the heroes of the Great War and kicked the ass of the IRA in Longford and everywhere else, killing or capturing 5 IRA terrorists for every person the IRA murdered, defeating the IRA's campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing against Unionists, we Irish owe them so much,.
May they all rest in peace.
Yes, god bless the Tans, we Irish owe them much.
Hope al knows that islam the threat to our we lovely island now islam the enemy
@@Anthony-oq9qc Islamic EXTREMISTS are the threat to our country just like the Nationalist extremists of the IRA
Many years ago,I took my Family on an English farm chalet holiday.. The farm looked a little run down. I chatted to the Farmer and his wife and discovered thst she had to go back to teaching to support her Husband who had fallen on hard times because the Foot and mouth epidemic had wiped out all his stock. He even had to pay for getting all his sheep sent to Anglesey abattoir. His Landlord was tbe Duke of Northumberland who was Landlord to 92 tenant farmers.. The farmer explained that the farmers got organised and approached the Duke to forgo the rent because times were so difficult. The Duke after some. deliberation decided to reduce tbe rents by 10%, which was almost an insult..Incidentally, he told me that he was only the 3rd generation family tennant, The previous family had been evicted before his Grandfather moved in.. Then he asked me if we had any Landlords and I explained that we were rather harsh on them. How do you mean,??? he asked We shot a few of them and we invented a new word for the dictionary.. "Boycott" Nothing to do with the IRA, just a few locals would get together and assassinate the problem. Their passage and fares to America were organised in advance. Especially if the problem Landlord was fond of the young girls.. There are monuments to such groups scattered over Ireland. My own Great grandfather was evicted from his family farm and walked with his son to Lifford and Strabane where he died of starvation. My grandfather was taken into a boys home where he was very well looked after. He kept same job for 40 years. His first wife died of consumption and my father was the eldest son of his second marriage.. Arlingham the poet, put his first cousin on a coffin ship with 6 shifts and 2 shillings. Bound for Australia. He could have easily cared for her but there were some really mean selfish basturds about in those days, and Arlingham was one of them.
