    We needed Thousand's like Dan Breen to show the British Empire that we were finished with been Slaves and Serves, for what the UK did in this little Country was beyond Barbaric, and it went on for Hundreds of years until we got lucky to have Dan Breen and Men and Women of his Kind! If you want a Glimpse, just a Glimpse of what the English were Doing, just have a listen to Christy Moore Song which is Called....ON A SINGLE Day, and that will give you an accurate account of what Food was Shipped from this little Country, on a SINGLE DAY IN 1947, as our People Starved and died by the sides of the Roads and in the Ditches of Ireland........Dan Breen was a Hero, with so many more who spilled there Blood for Ireland going down through the Centuries!

    It is possible to be both depending on your view point. I regard him as a brilliant tactician and fearless fighter for Ireland's freedom. The British of course class him as a terrorist because he stood against their oppression, but what they really can't stomach is the fact that they were beaten by them. Have you ever noticed how the British film industry made numerous films about the gallant French, Norwegian, Polish etc resistance fighters who fought the ruthless Germans? Did they not see the irony?

    HERO -shot several times and still stood up for his country. The word terrorist - all war is terroristic. The state perpetrates way more terror than any guerrilla army. The Irish Proclamation gives to the people the right to rebel by any means necessary, just as the Declaration of Independence in the US. The Officials and Provisionals too --they had a right to defend themselves by military means.
