  • A couple of years ago I went to Derry for a European Education Project. I stayed for four weeks there. I catched a old record from the 60s in a second hand store in Derry. Here's a little picture show with impressions of Derry and Dublin.

      My only son was shot in Dublin, Fighting... - Stair na hÉireann ...www.facebook.com › StairnahEireann › posts › my-onl...Hi Maria, sorry for the late reply. Boy this has opened a can of worms. I'm unable to find who wrote this song. The above link to the facebook page may be able to help you. The album was produced in 1967 under the "Allegro: label and was a Pickwick International Product. Hope this helps a bit. Perhaps others that view this page may be able to help.

    Not sure how murdering innocent civilians, including children, makes someone a 'freedom fighter'. They rarely seemed to have the guts to actually attack government officials directly, you know, those who could actually change policy. Wonder why that was. Cowardice?
