  • Paddy Cullivan makes a case for the County of Donegal to secede from the Republic of Ireland and more to the point, the EU. Speaking about Ireland's history and Europe's current affairs, Paddy makes a compelling case that small is beautiful and that globalization should be resisted. Paddy Cullivan is the third wheel of the Leviathan Political Cabaret along with Naoise Nunn and David McWilliams. He is also a writer and performer on Oliver Callan's first-rate RTE Satire vehicle 'Callan's Kicks' and has performed his unique brand of freewheeling political polemic at Kilkenomics, The Dartington Interrogate Festival and the Limerick Spring. His band, the Camembert Quartet, are the House Band on the Late Late Show and his multimedia historical shows 'Solutionism', 'The 10 Dark Secrets of the Irish Revolution' and '26 + 6 equals 1' have been performed all over Ireland and beyond. Born in Galway, he resides part-time in beautiful Gortahork, Co. Donegal. Paddy Cullivan is the third wheel of the Leviathan Political Cabaret along with Naoise Nunn and David McWilliams.

    That is near enough the same speech I give when I'm loaded with pints.

    I moved here to get away from globalism too but I also moved away from motorways, big cities and corporations. Please don't change it.

    when I was little my Dad told me about The Hebrides & that we might be a wee bit Irish. Later I found out Grandpa was from Donegal. I checked into it & was pleased 1st time I saw the Coat of Arms. love the green & gold. Lettermacaward was mentioned in Grandpa's papers. loved Clannad for years in my youth. Enya became popular in USA while I was in college.

    I move to reinstate the O'Donnell dynasty. Those opposed have a republic to run to.

    Humour, maps and Gortahork. That venn diagram the youtube algorithm is working on for me is certainly working.

    I'm Welsh and speak Welsh but I love the Gaeltacht; sometimes listen to RTE in the car-makes more sense than BBC Radio 4- I ascertained one word- Agos (?);in Welsh-'Close'; apparently it means 'and' in the Gaelic; not the most useful in any conversation !

    We’re a lot like Switzerland now, thanks to an invasion of unvetted economic migrants, committing violent crime in small villages around the country.

    I fully support the secession of the Kingdom of Tír Chonaill from the Republic of Donegal.

    Imagine caring about all of this but not caring that Ireland is being flooded with Muslims/Africans/non-Irish immigrants.
