Gerry Adams turns the question round to Ryan Tubridy who tries to slate Adams for IRA connections when he is proud of his grandfather who was in the Anti-Treaty IRA.

In this program, Gerry Adams made a very powerful statement “I was born into a state that didn’t want me”. A rejection by a country of a large minority always causes extreme violence, such as in the Balkans, Palestine and Northern Ireland.

Though not likeable by many, Gerry Adams is absolutely correct in pointing out that the PIRA though often meandering were when active a continuation of the IRA's War of Independence 1919-1921. This is unpalatable to many, as were the actions of the USA/UVF/RUC/British Army, etc during what became known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland. However, Gerry Adams comes across as hypocritical when on one hand he makes the case for acceptance of the PIRA, and on the other hand denys his personal involvement/membership of the said PIRA.
I read with interest the biography of Bobby Sands. He simply wanted to do his job in a coach building company, no interest in politics. He was hounded out by Unionist employees, threatened at gunpoint. It's hardly surprising that people start to fight back.

When you read Irish history, the kinds of actions the IRA did in the past isn't much different to what they did in the latter part of the 20th century. During the Easter Rising, Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War there were killings by the IRA, the police, the military, spies, informers, sectarian killings and the British State through its army, its recruits in the Black and Tans, the RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary). The loyalist paramilitaries weren't born in the North, the UVF was created in 1914 and were heavily armed with help from British Conservatives. There were bombings, mine explosions, assassinations, interrogations, mass killings by ambush and by co-ordinated assassinations, hangings, sectarian killing mostly of Catholic Nationalists, homes burnt, internment, long jail sentences on suspect evidence. Anything done in the latter part of the 20th century had already been done in the first half of the century, this re-writing of history by Irish people in the Republic of Ireland is pitiful, its why they don't celebrate their independence very much and its why history of this period is so censored in Irish schools, radio and tv.
@@bornslippy9208 are gonna attempt to lecture me now after using the term "Republic"?? Literally no different to the orange men using Ulster🤦 It's Ireland, one word, that's it.... Amuse me anyway, what if I am living somewhere else, what would your point be?
And the actions the free state government took against the I R.A. during the civil war in the south were twice as bad as the actions the Brits took north of the border against the I.R.A. during the years of the troubles ..At least they were allowed bury their fallen comrades not like what happened in the free state.
Adams makes a fair point here and even the host knows it so he tries to shut down discussion "I'm not going to get into a political discussion....." lol ...you've got a politician on your show who you have invited.
The last point in the video where Gerry makes the point “I was born into a state where people of an National mind were abandoned” really hits souther twits like tubridy and others deep. Many southerners who turned away from what was happening in the north would have rather ignored the fact that great violence was committed on behalf of them and were willing to live a life of relative comfort after partition while the north was subject to abject discrimination.
That's all well and good but by that, are you saying those people did or didn't want violence committed on their behalf? I'll die on the hill all day long (and my mother's family originate in Dublin's Liberties, my father's in west Belfast) that says the great majority of Irish people in the south DIDN'T want to have those dreadful acts committed in their name by anybody; their own much closer to home or by people in the north. So, let's not denigrate southerners as being "ungrateful", as if they should feel any other way than they do, which is tired of the violence and the all the conditions which come with it (yes, even in sympathy with those in the north). You can do that while holding and making the legitimate case for Irish independence. Goodness me.
@@MatthewCyUK my overall point is the following. For 30 years and even more before the outbreak of the troubles the vast majority of southerners with the primary exception of border counties and some historically Republican enclaves in places like Clare, Kerry and Dublin were happy to live with the consequences of the consequences of great violence commited by the “old IRA”. You cannot sit here and tell me the talking point has always been a distinction between actions of the romanticized “old IRA” and that of republicans during the troubles. With that being said there is the benefit of hiding behind history for people south of the border when they are not the ones who were born into a state that did not recognize them or even want them. It is incredibly patronizing and insulting for posh dubliners like tubridy to try to lecture men like adams on the historical difference and somehow insinuate his actions were not legitimate or worse than actions committed by republicans of the “old IRA”
@@paul479 I don't think it's a matter of the "old IRA" (not too different to the "same old IRA" IMO) or otherwise... I said I think most people didn't want barbaric acts committed in their name. I stand by that.
@@paul479 I didn't say that was my view. And I didn't give a detailed, nor a nuanced answer, which is what that needs. I don't agree Britain should still rule any of Ireland. Merely on the principle, it's already offered independence back to, and ceded control of, many other former territories. However, I have family, as I said on both sides who have spent their lives long before I was born, wishing for the violence to just stop. Some don't speak to one another because some say 'it just doesn't matter anymore.' NOBODY listened to these people for the longest time, and still don't.
@@paul479 iIs it "mental gymnastics' to advocate for a peaceful solution, or to understand why generations who've watched people close to them be killed in the name of perpetual conflict? Really? We're not going to agree here.
Tubridy is emblematic of southern partitionist opinion. My grandfather was also in the IRA. Not the 'old' IRA - no such entity existed. I am deeply ashamed of how we in the south abandoned our northern brethren to the loyalist hoodlums in the north. As was my grandfather. A large measure of blame attaches to those in the south who looked the other way when nationalists in the north looked here for help. When they turned their back on them the nationalist community had nowhere else to go when violence was instigated by the loyalists against their peaceful protests for human rights. Remember - the first RUC man to be murdered in the troubles was murdered by loyalists. To sneer at the people of the north who defended themselves because we wouldn't defend them is a double insult - especially coming from one who sat in his Dublin home in comfort as nationalists less than a hundred miles away underwent multiple forms of discrimination and intimidation.
Why do you call Ireland the south? We are not south of anything. You are using British terminology to describe our country. Just because people in Dublin are not hurling petrol bombs at British soldiers does not mean we do not want a United Ireland. We built a strong economy and country while the UK government abandoned NI to rot. Ireland is growing in attractiveness every day compared to remaining with the UK. And do you know why? Chuck Feeney. A united island will be thanks to him.
Republicans turned their backs on them when they decided to leave the UK. Sinn Fein signed the North away. And now Ireland as been partitioned for over 100 years.
Ryan asking the tough questions to the real FF/FG opposition so FF or FG can regain power and give this clown more pay rises while people across the 26 counties suffer
The very reason I can’t stand tubridy you never see him attack or be so obnoxious with politicians from Fine Gael or that other shower fianna failures he just licks up to them,I’m glad he’s gone,if you want to be the hard hitting interviewer and I enjoy those be equally hard hitting with whoever your interviewing,tubridy did himself a disservice here
Tubridy is, was and has always been a prick. Full of his own importance, just another well paid intellectual prostitute. The IRA are blamed for everything that happened in the North but the worst atrocities were committed by the other side. Were the Shankill Butchers members of the IRA?
Tubridy - well out of his depth, as soon as Gerry asked “why not” he put the brakes on. This is why the Late Late has gone to pot. Anyway back to Tommy Tiernan, now that’s a show I can get on board with.
Tubridy must think the IRA of old charmed the British to the negotiating table with their delightful sense of humour. Will someone in RTE please inform him that it was true savage, ruthless bloodshed. It's also noteworthy the grilling he gives Adams here, in comparison to the softball questions he offered Bob Geldof recently, when Geldof was deriding the country, the rising and the sacrifice of it's leaders, in a bizarre non sensical rant.
@@Tereyoc From a militaristic point of view, I agree it was Mickey mouse and poorly planned. But the rising was was never about a military victory, it was about making a statement and inspiring a generation to follow suit. From that point of view, it achieved it's goal. To be fair to Pearse, he wasn't a military tactician, as Collins proved himself to be later on. Pearse was the spokesperson of the rising. Where he lacked in pragmatic tactics etc, he made up for in the vision that he had for the rising, for the Irish Republic, his influential speeches leading up to the rising, and the legacy that he left. He had the foresight to know that the rebels would be lambasted after the rising, but would be venerated after their deaths. He apparently whistled as he was led to be executed, knowing that what he'd planned would go according to script.
It's true, maybe there was an alternative solution to the death and destruction that the Troubles caused. But there also could have been an alternative solution to the mistreatment and isolation that was imposed on Catholics living in Northern Ireland at the time.
Not all one way traffic. Looking forward to reading "Buried Lives: The Protestants of Southern Ireland". While Catholics have survived and thrived in NI, the same cannot be said for Protestants in the stifling and suffocating South.
@@cosmictimes the Protestants in Tipperary had and still have large estate lands, stately homes and are very much loved by locals in the surrounding villages and towns, people seem to forget that the Irish flag represents peace & friendship between Catholic & Protestant. And although the Catholic church tried to turn the people against our Protestant cousins, most of the time they failed. Eventually Catholic would marry Protestant, they worked , socialized and enjoyed sports together. My family is of Anglo Irish Aristocracy, Protestant married to Catholics, very much proud of our part in the 1798 Rebellion for Irish freedom, as well has our involvement in Tipperary IRB .. There was some pockets of sectarianism in the south, but nothing in comparison to the British controlled Sectarian attacks on the nationalists in the occupied 6 counties. If only people knew how much the Aristocracy on the island of Ireland, loved Ireland, the people of Ireland and Irish culture, and also how many of us offered assistance and joined the resistance for a better free Ireland.
Mr. Adams was Right in his comparison to the 1916 Heroes. No one asked for British Colonialism in Ireland. No one asked for Partition in 1921 in Ireland. No one asked to be classed as Second Class Citizens in their own Land.
When a people is oppressed and brutalised by an invading army . They will fight back . Simply because. This is our country. Our culture . Our way of living . How we bring our children up in our culture. The things in our culture that matter to us . Our education , our Gaelic xports . Our family . Why should we allow another country to impose their laws on us . We dont impose our laws on any country .
Actually, you are right. Byrne, did the same thing, refused to shake Gerry's hand, and yet he nearly kissed the feet of Stone, a protestant terrorist, who really did have blood on his hands.

Tubridity can't win with this argument because it has no substance to it. Ive heard it so many times from people south of the border that there was a 'good, old IRA' and an evil 'northern c1970s-80s. If they actually went and learned their own history they would see how similar the 'old IRA' was to the provisionals of the 70 & 80s. When you read the history (as I have and Tubridity has not) it is the similarity between the tactics of the 1920's and the 1970'/80s IRA that really struck me. Also when Ryan exclaims 'that was a different time' it was only 50 years before the provisional IRA started. We are not talking about 1000s of years that had elapsed.
@jackietreehorn5561 indeed they did. The main distinction is the provisionals used bomb much more often. However, the similarities in tactics are strikingly similar when you compare the two eras. What is astounding is how many Irish people are unaware of this.
What a terrible interviewer Ryan Tuberty really is. I’m not the biggest fan of Gerry Adams but don’t ambush him for being an IRA member and then when faced with whether your grandfather was too react with the “oh those were different times” bollox
That was his grandad NOT him. If he himself was in the IRA Gerry might have had a point. Gerrys crap point was “I was born in a state that didn’t want me”. Oh really Gerry.. is that why Irishmen in their tens of thousands come to live and work in the UK? And what about those with a British identity born in the Republic?
Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, very clever men, both very clever men. But I don't trust them. I mean....Gerry Adams looks like a school deputy head master and Martin McGuinness looks like a clown without makeup.
Thank God for Gerry Adams and at least he took on the evil-minded plantators who tried to cleanse the catholic community completely out of their Country so their foreign evil ways could completely take over. So many cowards in sheep clothing in the south of our island who sold fear about our northern population, Ah we don't want them.
You do realise don’t you that the fight for a free Ireland didn’t just start with “The troubles “. The vast majority of the fighting against British imperialism over the centuries was done in the south & remember the 1916 Rising started in Dublin. Most Southerners would have had long distant relatives or family who fought for freedom of Ireland. It didn’t just happen up North. Branding people cowards shows a lack of respect & lack of knowledge of your own Irish history.
RTE is a disgraceful biased mouth piece for FFG, Ryan is coming as very unprofessional as an interviewer,, how ever Gerry is more than capable for that glib clown.
As someone from near Dundalk and having my family come from down Fermanagh and Donegal Ino exactly the hardships nationalists went through. A downright disgrace that our government now won’t look out for the Irish In the north here. The media will protect the agenda of a split Ireland as long as they can and I myself don’t wanna see it go back to conflict. But it will, no doubt about it
jonoessex: Simple answer is support. The fact that Sinn Fein constantly seem to rise amongst nationalists (including a rise in the republic) whereas the dissidents can't get a political vehicle to start is worthy of another discussion. The people of Ireland, Northern Ireland especially, are tired of violence and this is all dissidents seem capable of offering.
@@eamonryan8738 So the difference was that the PIRA's violence had support amongst the Irish population but the dissidents don't. Just because PIRA violence had support doesn't mean it was right and just because dissidents don't have support doesn't mean their violence is wrong.
@@conorfields506 The British government listened to these "abused people" and reformed society to be fair to them so there was no need to "fight back".
Why does the interviewer say the situations are incomparable? In terms of the methods used, or the goal? were most southern irish against the Provisional IRA? I'm not british or irish, so I don't know so much about the history of the area
Sinn Féin are the biggest political party in all of Ireland's 32 counties nowadays it shows the Provisional I.R.A had underlying support throughout the troubles and there's no difference between the old I.R.A and the Provisional I.R.A just the same objectives in different decades in the 20th century.

Just so you know, nobody but people in the UK call Ireland "Southern Ireland". It is an insulting, demeaning, colonial phrase. We are not South of anything, we are the dominant land mass on the island, "Northern Ireland" is one corner of the island, 6 counties vs 26. We won a war against Britain and with that victory earned the right to name our country. The British are being wilfully ignorant by insisting on calling Ireland the south or southern Ireland.
It was ok 100 years ago when the 26 counties were fighting for their independence but when the 6 counties that Ireland abandoned to achieve it, fought for their own the south held their nose at us. This southern hypocrisy makes me feel closer to my unionist neighbours here in the north sometimes. At least they can relate to the dire state of the north at that time.
Righter of two wrongs. Doesn't matter if you have blood on your hands Gerry. All soldiers do. Wash it off and carry on. That is the christian way. Righteous and pure. Doing god's work. Not to say I agree with war but an armed struggle is the only way when diplomacy fails and leaves you as a third class citizen in you're rightful country. If they can't be fair then bludgeon them to bits on their knees and a righteous war is better than an unfair peace. Fight for your equality because all men are created equal according to god and when it's all over we can forget about the oppressors and say we bloodied their nose and buckled their backs
The trouble with Ryan / Adams debate is that Adams- had to think long and hard and he could well say to the charge ...think of all the people Lloyd George/Churchill or Sir Henry Wilson sent to their death.......I'm not an Adams supporter but Ryan would need to have his thinking a bit more in line to pursue that question with Gerry. Shooting is to be avoided if at all possible as it seems to release bad legacies ..the Peasants of Russia fought the Proletariat of Europe for the benefit of the rich vested interests....again and again on the Green fields of France.
Adam’s got a clap from the audience that he didn’t deserve. He is the reason many people died. Those who died were mostly Irish people. The IRA killed more Irishmen then loyalist paramilitaries and HM Forces combined. The man is a nut job. He said “I was born in a state that didn’t want me”. Name me one state that wants a terrorist? 🤦♂️
There's no need for armed struggle nowadays as soon as the British government give the go-ahead for a border referendum a United Ireland will be voted in on both sides of the border. Tiocfaidh ár lá.
I'm from the West of Ireland, not the 'south'. The 'south' is cork, waterford, Kerry etc. There's no country called 'the south'. When people in England ask if I'm from Southern Ireland I say, no, I'm not...and explain why etc. On the discussion between Ryan and Gerry, I absolutely agree with the latter's comparison with the 1919/20 period.
The sad reality is this .. the cast majority of people in the south had little or no idea of the true scale of suffering that people in the North endured on a daily basis ..

And the actions the free state government took against the I R.A. during the civil war in the south were twice as bad as the actions the Brits took north of the border against the I.R.A. during the years of the troubles ..At least they were allowed bury their fallen comrades not like what happened in the free state.
I just cant stand that RT, such a hypocrite. He is so currupt.
Jonathan Cooney Sure that's what they were founded to do. Censor dissenting voices, only tow the party line and "uphold public morality"
Adams makes a fair point here and even the host knows it so he tries to shut down discussion "I'm not going to get into a political discussion....." lol ...you've got a politician on your show who you have invited.
Gerry Adams is Very down to Earth, Witty and Intelligent, ..........Tubridy is a Horrible Hypocrite...........
Adams is not intelligent. A child has a better grasp of economics than this bluffer.
Witty???
Can you imagine a smug little French boy interviewer asking a leader of the French Resistance, "Do you regret having blood on your hands?
The last point in the video where Gerry makes the point “I was born into a state where people of an National mind were abandoned” really hits souther twits like tubridy and others deep. Many southerners who turned away from what was happening in the north would have rather ignored the fact that great violence was committed on behalf of them and were willing to live a life of relative comfort after partition while the north was subject to abject discrimination.
That's all well and good but by that, are you saying those people did or didn't want violence committed on their behalf?
I'll die on the hill all day long (and my mother's family originate in Dublin's Liberties, my father's in west Belfast) that says the great majority of Irish people in the south DIDN'T want to have those dreadful acts committed in their name by anybody; their own much closer to home or by people in the north.
So, let's not denigrate southerners as being "ungrateful", as if they should feel any other way than they do, which is tired of the violence and the all the conditions which come with it (yes, even in sympathy with those in the north). You can do that while holding and making the legitimate case for Irish independence. Goodness me.
@@MatthewCyUK my overall point is the following. For 30 years and even more before the outbreak of the troubles the vast majority of southerners with the primary exception of border counties and some historically Republican enclaves in places like Clare, Kerry and Dublin were happy to live with the consequences of the consequences of great violence commited by the “old IRA”. You cannot sit here and tell me the talking point has always been a distinction between actions of the romanticized “old IRA” and that of republicans during the troubles. With that being said there is the benefit of hiding behind history for people south of the border when they are not the ones who were born into a state that did not recognize them or even want them.
It is incredibly patronizing and insulting for posh dubliners like tubridy to try to lecture men like adams on the historical difference and somehow insinuate his actions were not legitimate or worse than actions committed by republicans of the “old IRA”
@@paul479 I don't think it's a matter of the "old IRA" (not too different to the "same old IRA" IMO) or otherwise... I said I think most people didn't want barbaric acts committed in their name.
I stand by that.
@@paul479 I didn't say that was my view. And I didn't give a detailed, nor a nuanced answer, which is what that needs.
I don't agree Britain should still rule any of Ireland. Merely on the principle, it's already offered independence back to, and ceded control of, many other former territories.
However, I have family, as I said on both sides who have spent their lives long before I was born, wishing for the violence to just stop. Some don't speak to one another because some say 'it just doesn't matter anymore.'
NOBODY listened to these people for the longest time, and still don't.
@@paul479 iIs it "mental gymnastics' to advocate for a peaceful solution, or to understand why generations who've watched people close to them be killed in the name of perpetual conflict? Really?
We're not going to agree here.
Tubridy is emblematic of southern partitionist opinion. My grandfather was also in the IRA. Not the 'old' IRA - no such entity existed. I am deeply ashamed of how we in the south abandoned our northern brethren to the loyalist hoodlums in the north. As was my grandfather. A large measure of blame attaches to those in the south who looked the other way when nationalists in the north looked here for help. When they turned their back on them the nationalist community had nowhere else to go when violence was instigated by the loyalists against their peaceful protests for human rights. Remember - the first RUC man to be murdered in the troubles was murdered by loyalists. To sneer at the people of the north who defended themselves because we wouldn't defend them is a double insult - especially coming from one who sat in his Dublin home in comfort as nationalists less than a hundred miles away underwent multiple forms of discrimination and intimidation.
most sense on this I have read fair play
Why do you call Ireland the south? We are not south of anything. You are using British terminology to describe our country.
Just because people in Dublin are not hurling petrol bombs at British soldiers does not mean we do not want a United Ireland. We built a strong economy and country while the UK government abandoned NI to rot. Ireland is growing in attractiveness every day compared to remaining with the UK.
And do you know why?
Chuck Feeney.
A united island will be thanks to him.
Republicans turned their backs on them when they decided to leave the UK. Sinn Fein signed the North away. And now Ireland as been partitioned for over 100 years.
100% agree nice to see there's still some In the South haven't forgotten the North.
Ryan asking the tough questions to the real FF/FG opposition so FF or FG can regain power and give this clown more pay rises while people across the 26 counties suffer
Wow ...I've never seen someone back pedal so fast in my life.
Tubridy is a disgrace if I was in his position I would cherish what his grandfather done for our country
agree 100%,would be anti treaty myself but michael collins was right
Collins was king. He brought the British to their knees and typical Irish we killed him.
This conversation would not be happening if the treaty gave up us in the north to pick up the pieces of partition
He is reasonable to point out a difference in era and that then was not part of Adams butchery on people of NI.
@@joprocter4573 sure Carson was a dub and founding father of loyalism....statue of a free stater outside stormont lol
Gerry pointed out Ryan tubridys hypocrisy and exposed his lack of culture n knowledge while he was at it!
It was pointed out in a different era
Adams does put the guy firmly back in his Free State box.
The very reason I can’t stand tubridy you never see him attack or be so obnoxious with politicians from Fine Gael or that other shower fianna failures he just licks up to them,I’m glad he’s gone,if you want to be the hard hitting interviewer and I enjoy those be equally hard hitting with whoever your interviewing,tubridy did himself a disservice here
Tubridy is, was and has always been a prick. Full of his own importance, just another well paid intellectual prostitute. The IRA are blamed for everything that happened in the North but the worst atrocities were committed by the other side. Were the Shankill Butchers members of the IRA?
Tubridy - well out of his depth, as soon as Gerry asked “why not” he put the brakes on. This is why the Late Late has gone to pot. Anyway back to Tommy Tiernan, now that’s a show I can get on board with.
Ryan sums up the media's and south county Dublin view of people in the north. Very sad to see Irish people like this .
Privilage meets struggle
Gerry will always be remembered as a true republican and someone who had great courage to do the things he done for the people of Ireland.
Tubridy must think the IRA of old charmed the British to the negotiating table with their delightful sense of humour. Will someone in RTE please inform him that it was true savage, ruthless bloodshed.
It's also noteworthy the grilling he gives Adams here, in comparison to the softball questions he offered Bob Geldof recently, when Geldof was deriding the country, the rising and the sacrifice of it's leaders, in a bizarre non sensical rant.
They had a mandate from 1918 election. The shower during the troubles did not. The SDLP was bigger than séin féin.
@@Tereyoc What mandate did the Easter Rising leaders have?
@@eamonnmaccionnaith5761 none and it was a mickey mouse operation. Collins said if pearse had lived he would never followed I'm anywhere again.
@@Tereyoc From a militaristic point of view, I agree it was Mickey mouse and poorly planned. But the rising was was never about a military victory, it was about making a statement and inspiring a generation to follow suit. From that point of view, it achieved it's goal. To be fair to Pearse, he wasn't a military tactician, as Collins proved himself to be later on. Pearse was the spokesperson of the rising. Where he lacked in pragmatic tactics etc, he made up for in the vision that he had for the rising, for the Irish Republic, his influential speeches leading up to the rising, and the legacy that he left. He had the foresight to know that the rebels would be lambasted after the rising, but would be venerated after their deaths. He apparently whistled as he was led to be executed, knowing that what he'd planned would go according to script.
I do believe he's ashamed of his grandfather. Fuckin wanker. Every time he comes on the TV I turn him off.
From 30 secs on absolute priceless.. 😂🇮🇪💚
Used to be a big Gerry Adams fan growing up and now see him as a man helping to keep Ireland in the so called UK but he is 100% spot on here.
It's true, maybe there was an alternative solution to the death and destruction that the Troubles caused. But there also could have been an alternative solution to the mistreatment and isolation that was imposed on Catholics living in Northern Ireland at the time.
Not all one way traffic. Looking forward to reading "Buried Lives: The Protestants of Southern Ireland". While Catholics have survived and thrived in NI, the same cannot be said for Protestants in the stifling and suffocating South.
@@cosmictimes seriously no am from donegal and protestants are even allowed to march they also have decent jobs and big farms so fuck up you twat .
@@cosmictimes the Protestants in Tipperary had and still have large estate lands, stately homes and are very much loved by locals in the surrounding villages and towns, people seem to forget that the Irish flag represents peace & friendship between Catholic & Protestant. And although the Catholic church tried to turn the people against our Protestant cousins, most of the time they failed. Eventually Catholic would marry Protestant, they worked , socialized and enjoyed sports together. My family is of Anglo Irish Aristocracy, Protestant married to Catholics, very much proud of our part in the 1798 Rebellion for Irish freedom, as well has our involvement in Tipperary IRB .. There was some pockets of sectarianism in the south, but nothing in comparison to the British controlled Sectarian attacks on the nationalists in the occupied 6 counties. If only people knew how much the Aristocracy on the island of Ireland, loved Ireland, the people of Ireland and Irish culture, and also how many of us offered assistance and joined the resistance for a better free Ireland.
@@Commandant_OCC Catholics have done far better out of the UK then Protestants have done out of the Republic. The two states aren’t even comparable.
Mr. Adams was Right in his comparison to the 1916 Heroes.
No one asked for British Colonialism in Ireland.
No one asked for Partition in 1921 in Ireland.
No one asked to be classed as Second Class Citizens in their own Land.
Tubridy is a dreadful presenter imo. Always so biased and seldom impartial. On big RTE money too. Adams was spot on in this occasion
I never want to hear from Ryan Tubridy.
Gerry Adams a hero of the land of Ireland
covering up child abuse by his own brother? youve strange heroes by the way adams is a jew agent
When a people is oppressed and brutalised by an invading army . They will fight back . Simply because. This is our country. Our culture . Our way of living . How we bring our children up in our culture. The things in our culture that matter to us . Our education , our Gaelic xports . Our family .
Why should we allow another country to impose their laws on us . We dont impose our laws on any country .
And when we fought back we were called terrorist
Turb is more British than the brits themselves
Tubridy doesn't stand a chamce against the most unshakable person born in Eire.
I’m not going to get into a political debate. Did tubbers just say that
I don’t like Gerry Adams at all but he handled this incredibly well and I respect him for his composure and calmness.
Tubrity is a real west brit like the rest of his ilk in rte
Actually, you are right. Byrne, did the same thing, refused to shake Gerry's hand, and yet he nearly kissed the feet of Stone, a protestant terrorist, who really did have blood on his hands.
I was born in Northern Ireland Belfast my both parents and family went through hell. We had to leave to live in Australia. I never knew my language or culture this DOG the interviewer has no idea. I would live to shake Gerry Adams hand
wake up Siobhan, Gerry Adams covered up sexual abuse including the rape of his own niece
I met him, bumped into him in NY. I was travelling n he was at same hotel n just passing by,It was a mutual kinda in passing handshake, nice n friendly. N on his way.
This audience know their onions!
@@longmemory1620 Actually he spoke openly about that in an interview...when asked.
He cleared up any misconceptions . I don't live in Ireland but I heard that. Lot of ppl knew. It was in family n AFAIK, the girl didn't want it broadcast....
If you moved to the other side of the world I would suggest you have no idea. Lived through the troubles the man is no saint
He’s IRA he give the order to kill many even a mother was taking away never to be seen again for helping a wounded soldier absolute subhuman scum republican monster
Tubridity can't win with this argument because it has no substance to it. Ive heard it so many times from people south of the border that there was a 'good, old IRA' and an evil 'northern c1970s-80s.
If they actually went and learned their own history they would see how similar the 'old IRA' was to the provisionals of the 70 & 80s.
When you read the history (as I have and Tubridity has not) it is the similarity between the tactics of the 1920's and the 1970'/80s IRA that really struck me.
Also when Ryan exclaims 'that was a different time' it was only 50 years before the provisional IRA started. We are not talking about 1000s of years that had elapsed.
Old IRA used the same tactics
@jackietreehorn5561 indeed they did. The main distinction is the provisionals used bomb much more often. However, the similarities in tactics are strikingly similar when you compare the two eras.
What is astounding is how many Irish people are unaware of this.
I noticed that the down unders are ever so judgmental and pious. Did the republic come into existence free from violence?
Tubridys grandad was a member of the ira
What a terrible interviewer Ryan Tuberty really is. I’m not the biggest fan of Gerry Adams but don’t ambush him for being an IRA member and then when faced with whether your grandfather was too react with the “oh those were different times” bollox
That was his grandad NOT him. If he himself was in the IRA Gerry might have had a point. Gerrys crap point was “I was born in a state that didn’t want me”. Oh really Gerry.. is that why Irishmen in their tens of thousands come to live and work in the UK? And what about those with a British identity born in the Republic?
Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, very clever men, both very clever men. But I don't trust them. I mean....Gerry Adams looks like a school deputy head master and Martin McGuinness looks like a clown without makeup.
Ireland is unique among countries that most of its country doesn't seem to recognise there was a war in the country.
Not a shinner, SDLP voter, but Gerry certainly has valid points
Thank God for Gerry Adams and at least he took on the evil-minded plantators who tried to cleanse the catholic community completely out of their Country so their foreign evil ways could completely take over. So many cowards in sheep clothing in the south of our island who sold fear about our northern population, Ah we don't want them.
What are you talking about, you loon
You do realise don’t you that the fight for a free Ireland didn’t just start with “The troubles “. The vast majority of the fighting against British imperialism over the centuries was done in the south & remember the 1916 Rising started in Dublin. Most Southerners would have had long distant relatives or family who fought for freedom of Ireland. It didn’t just happen up North. Branding people cowards shows a lack of respect & lack of knowledge of your own Irish history.
This hypocrisy is absolutely daft
He put Ryan in his place their.
Ryan is a first class knob… up the six counties
We were subjected to Tubrity by the Irish establishment for year after year. It was painful. Thank Christ Kealty finally took over.

RTE is a disgraceful biased mouth piece for FFG, Ryan is coming as very unprofessional as an interviewer,, how ever Gerry is more than capable for that glib clown.
As someone from near Dundalk and having my family come from down Fermanagh and Donegal Ino exactly the hardships nationalists went through. A downright disgrace that our government now won’t look out for the Irish In the north here. The media will protect the agenda of a split Ireland as long as they can and I myself don’t wanna see it go back to conflict. But it will, no doubt about it
Wrong. You're speaking about a different country and have never lived there mate.
He wouldn’t have to balls to put himself in harms way for any body. Different times?
God I can't stand Tubridy
Tubridy was such a bell end. Myopic lefty liberal living in his ivory tower. Glad he is off rte
Turbidy should have asked Adams what the difference was between the dissidents he condemns and the Provos he was a leader of.
jonoessex:
Simple answer is support.
The fact that Sinn Fein constantly seem to rise amongst nationalists (including a rise in the republic) whereas the dissidents can't get a political vehicle to start is worthy of another discussion.
The people of Ireland, Northern Ireland especially, are tired of violence and this is all dissidents seem capable of offering.
Il tell u...
Systematically abuse a people and they will fight back ... sinn fein got elected as mps and r now pursuing peaceful methods
@@eamonryan8738 So the difference was that the PIRA's violence had support amongst the Irish population but the dissidents don't. Just because PIRA violence had support doesn't mean it was right and just because dissidents don't have support doesn't mean their violence is wrong.
@@conorfields506 The British government listened to these "abused people" and reformed society to be fair to them so there was no need to "fight back".
@@jonoessex You are deluded, dangerously deluded
Why does the interviewer say the situations are incomparable? In terms of the methods used, or the goal? were most southern irish against the Provisional IRA? I'm not british or irish, so I don't know so much about the history of the area
Sinn Féin are the biggest political party in all of Ireland's 32 counties nowadays it shows the Provisional I.R.A had underlying support throughout the troubles and there's no difference between the old I.R.A and the Provisional I.R.A just the same objectives in different decades in the 20th century. Tiocfaidh ár lá.
Just so you know, nobody but people in the UK call Ireland "Southern Ireland". It is an insulting, demeaning, colonial phrase. We are not South of anything, we are the dominant land mass on the island, "Northern Ireland" is one corner of the island, 6 counties vs 26. We won a war against Britain and with that victory earned the right to name our country. The British are being wilfully ignorant by insisting on calling Ireland the south or southern Ireland.
This interviewer sounds like he trained with the BBC and clearly has no knowledge of his own country's history despite his grandad. Muppet.
I agree with Gerry Adams.
Butter wouldn't melt
It was ok 100 years ago when the 26 counties were fighting for their independence but when the 6 counties that Ireland abandoned to achieve it, fought for their own the south held their nose at us. This southern hypocrisy makes me feel closer to my unionist neighbours here in the north sometimes. At least they can relate to the dire state of the north at that time.
The audience didnt side with the worm
Dennis Rodman
Righter of two wrongs. Doesn't matter if you have blood on your hands Gerry. All soldiers do. Wash it off and carry on. That is the christian way. Righteous and pure. Doing god's work. Not to say I agree with war but an armed struggle is the only way when diplomacy fails and leaves you as a third class citizen in you're rightful country. If they can't be fair then bludgeon them to bits on their knees and a righteous war is better than an unfair peace. Fight for your equality because all men are created equal according to god and when it's all over we can forget about the oppressors and say we bloodied their nose and buckled their backs

The trouble with Ryan / Adams debate is that Adams- had to think long and hard and he could well say to the charge ...think of all the people Lloyd George/Churchill or Sir Henry Wilson sent to their death.......I'm not an Adams supporter but Ryan would need to have his thinking a bit more in line to pursue that question with Gerry. Shooting is to be avoided if at all possible as it seems to release bad legacies ..the Peasants of Russia fought the Proletariat of Europe for the benefit of the rich vested interests....again and again on the Green fields of France.
Adam’s got a clap from the audience that he didn’t deserve. He is the reason many people died. Those who died were mostly Irish people. The IRA killed more Irishmen then loyalist paramilitaries and HM Forces combined. The man is a nut job. He said “I was born in a state that didn’t want me”. Name me one state that wants a terrorist? 🤦♂️
Gerry Adams is a hypocrite too regarding Irish Republicans who still support armed struggle.

I suffer from the same problem. Why they can't call Ireland Ireland is a mystery to me.
