The violence in the Six Counties over the decades would never have occurred in the first place if Catholics had been treated as equal members of society. The main cause for the world's turmoil: In too many countries certain segments are relegated to second class status. Or worse. Solution: Treat others as you wish to be treated.

Well said....i just hope in the times 2 come when we have the majority we dont treat our protestant neighbours the same....we move forward all as 1..irish protestant's and catholics🙏..thats my dream
_Outstanding performance by Christy..so so beautiful..."Those in power write the history, those who suffer write the songs. Given our history we have an awful lot of songs."_
Son of Ireland. Your efforts for Irish people worldwide will never be forgotten..I'm proud of my ancestors. I'm proud of my faith. I'm proud of you and your service.
such a powerfull song , if the lyrics dont tear your heart out it must be because you dont have one , RIP Martin and let us never forget Patsy O'Hara .
dubinboston don't u dare bring uncle patsy into this,,he died through that bastard,,a traitor,,but Patsy's godson died Saturday,,a true son of Ireland,,now with his friends,gone too soon@38 yes of age..
I never did and never will speak in a disrespectable way towards Patsy O'Hara or the other 11 hunger strikers or any republican volunteer who fought or died in the struggle , my comment was pleading to not forget who the song was originaly for ,
Proud to of went to Martin McGuinness funeral. A fitting tribute to a great man. A man who believed in United Ireland. Fought for our country. And helped bring Peace to the North RIP Comrade. You’ll never be forgotten 🇮🇪🇮🇪
You do not have to die a violent death to have given your life for your country. This man whether you agreed with him or not was to have spent his life and mainly away from his family fighting for a one Ireland. He then fought for the peace towards achieving possibly a one Ireland for all Irish people regardless of there religion or political background. Many true patriots worldwide have died of natural causes.
You're equivocating. No doubt Mc Guinness could be described as a patriot, but you can't say he gave his life in the same way as you can say Connolly did. He committed his life to a cause, but he didn't give his life for Ireland. No getting around that.
Maybe you need help reading?? his lifes work was for his country and that's what Charles Morrison meant! he never said he died in terms of battle for his country now did he??
Dan Breen, Sean Treacy, Dinny Lacey, Richard McKee, Sean Hogan who's grandson is a friend of mine, Peadar Clancy, Sean Robinson, Ned O'Brien, the Brennan brothers and many many more fought a well trained enemy with no military expertise themselves yet they excelled at making life hard for the occupying forces of Britain in Eire, they fought and won and for that we are all grateful, You should all get a copy of Dan Breens fight for Irish freedom its an incredible read....
God bless martin and thank you we were truly blessed to have you .A true man of the people all people through your tireless work peace came around it takes a true man to cast aside differences for peace I loved you then as I do now rest my brother, you're life and work lives on everyday.
izzy duffy You clearly have an empty head like so many arm chair republicans who fought for nothing from the safety of their living rooms whilst bemoaning those who took action and brought a badly needed peace to the North". So as I already said what did you do? nothing is the answer your looking for! so do the room a favour stfu and move along. what you know about hard fought freedoms could be written on a gnats arse😋😋😋😋😋
Really pleased to see most people in the comments seeking peace and reconciliation and forgiveness on both sides. I was brought up to view Martin McGuinness as the enemy and an evil man. I came to see him as a patriot who pledged his life to a cause he beleived in even if I did not agree. If he and Paisley could become good friends before the end why cannot we also? Here is to peace in Ireland...an Ireland that will, in my opinion, inevitably be united which will, again despite my feelings when i see my community and heritage lost, be for the best ultimately.
Doesn't seem to have the same emotion for me personally. While I cried listening to the same song on "The Death of Larry Marley",my eyes refused to give salty tears.Patsy O'Hara I cry for you.
anyone at each other on this page not the place this is for martin from loyalist may he rest in peace as he played a big part in bring peace to the north if you respect him he did not want us at each other he gave his life to it when other republicans where call him a sell out you could not get further from the truth i respect the man and my wishes are with his friends and family
john gibson Sinn Fein are sellouts what was the point of people dying going on hunger strike.They fought for a untied Ireland not for seats in Stormont.Its been 20 years form the good Friday agreement and still nothing has been achieved
An impartial view for the historical record (from The Guardian): "The prisoners of HM Maze Prison began a hunger strike in 1980, which resulted in 10 deaths the following year - the first that of Bobby Sands, who was elected to the Westminster parliament as MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone as he lay dying. Sands’s death provided an electoral power base from which McGuiness & Adams could risk a peace initiative". (This song by CM was written about Patsy O'Hara - one of the 10 strikers, & his girlfriend who'd visited him in Maze just before he died - 3 weeks after Bobby Sands' death). Thus a moving & apt tribute by wordsmith Christy, for MM, and part of the truth of events that needs to be more generally known, if real peace is ever to come to a 'united Ireland'. MaggieinNZ

What a beautiful sendoff christy!
RIP Martin. Ireland is a lot sadder without you to help us in our goal for a united Ireland. May GOD grant you eternal rest. My Friend and Hero.
Always loved this song and the meaning of the words within it.... definitely a very fitting tribute at Martin McGuinness Graveside. RIP
whats the name of the song??
The Time Has Come
Dominic Rafferty it was written for a hunger striker. Odd choice to be sung for a man who feasted at Royal banquets in Windsor castle with the Queen.
gareth roblyn still an odd song choice
Joe Rogan. "Odd" singer choice too. Sinead O'Connor could have done it (new member of Sínn Féin and all). Ohhh.. Right! Shes a bit odd too ;)
Proud to of went to Martin McGuinness funeral. A fitting tribute to a great man. A man who believed in United Ireland. Fought for our country. And helped bring Peace to the North RIP Comrade. You’ll never be forgotten 🇮🇪🇮🇪
