Kelly the Boy From Killan - Rebellion of 1798

[tpgoldsworthy]

As a northern Irish prod. I bothered to look into the history of the country I'm proud to be from. I suggest the rest of my countrymen do and stop this ill founded unsubstantiated ignorant hatred of others and look at ourselves and stop hating and enjoy our fine culture!!!

[1982CFD]

I'm not saying there's no bigotry or abuse from the Irish side I'm just saying that the I.R.A. aren't racist and it's not I.R.A. you need to worry about if you happen to be coming to Northern Ireland from another country. As far as I know anyway, I'm ready to be proven wrong if there's evidence to the contrary.

@MajereRaistlinGR

The IRA are fascists who target people because of their religion and their nationality Tey do not want want anyone to live in Northern Ireland who is not Irish, yet our familys have lived here for 800 years since the Normans. My uncle was murdered by these murdering pigs. Do not believe a word they say.

[1982CFD]

@loyalprd How many innocents have been shot or blown up by the UVF/UDA doing an honest days work? What about the Irish kids who had withstand taunts and threats and abuse from *adults* just for walking to school?

[MajereRaistlinGR]

it is the only nationalist movement i like because they fought for their freedom and clearly rebel

im againt nationalism

if i understood right if i want to live in ireland (im greek) IRA does not want it?

[Finlandperkele]

I think you are confused about the term nationalism, because nationalism is not national socialism (nazi). Nationalism is an idea that a people that share a culture and history together should have their own country.

And no, IRA does not have a trouble with you being greek, they are not racist.

[REDBACKDEAD]

No you mis understand, irish republicans want a united Ireland, meaning we want an end to British rule in the six counties. All nationalities are welcome, we just want to govern our own land, especialy the part which was stolen from us by the British empire

[spacemonkey103]

Idiot... Irish nationalism has always been left orientated because we were a conquered and ocupied people. This is simular to the anti-imperialistic nationalisms found in South America today, looking to free them selves from exploitation and empire. dont ASSUME nationalism means fascism. Ireland and South America liberation movements prove you false.

[10thAngel]

@spacemonkey103 yes left orientated, but still nationalism does not equal nationalsocialism, aka nazism (Nationalsozialistischen Deutschen Arbeiterpartei).

I don't see anyone asuming that nationalism = fascism :S

[MajereRaistlinGR]

what ideology has IRA? nazi?

because i tryied to find and i fount that it is a nationalist movement

and if it so then why has IRA the name republican???

[Finlandperkele]

Irish Republican Army. Yes a nationalistic military movement/organistation. Though they have laid the terror aside nowadays.

Though comparing it or even mention IRA+nazi is very bad, since they certianly wouldn't propegate a cleansing of the English & Protestant people on Ireland. They simply want Ireland to be united. And since Ireland today is populated by The Republic of Ireland and Northen Ireland, they support the Repulic, hence, republican.

[loyalprd]

@MajereRaistlinGR They are Nazis. Towns like Bellaghy, Rasharkin, Maghera and many border towns and villages have had people burned from their homes, intimiataed cars attacked and even shot all because of their religion! Do not believe their nazi propaganda- they are still attacking innocent protestant civillians. Our police men have to wear bullet proof vests as they are under threat from IRA splinter groups. The truth must be heard!!

[1982CFD]

@loyalprd They're not Nazis though. Not the same as Loyalist gangs who attack asylum seekers in Ulster so badly that they have to leave the country.

[1982CFD]

@1982CFD Actually I take that back. I don't live where you live so I don't really know what goes on. It seems fascism is sweeping every pocket of Europe.

[loyalprd]

@1982CFD

What a load of crap. How many people have Sinn Fein IRA forced out their homes? How may innocents have been shot or blown up doing an honests days work? Women and children murdered, policemen shot, soldiers killed-because of their religion. Sounds like fascism to me! We cant even walk down the streets for fear of being targeted. There is no peace in Noirthern Ireland its all still going on behind the scenes

[1982CFD]

@loyalprd But if you're an immigrant to Ulster from another country you are just as likely to get attacked by a Loyalist as has happened frequently in the past.

[1982CFD]

@MajereRaistlinGR Google "UDA Combat 18", or "Orange Order KKK" if you want the real craic about fascism in Ulster.

[ALMEROONE]

damien dempsey also sings this well. god bless john kelly and all the galant people who fight for freedom

[willspear1564]

Just because the Irish knew their rebellion was doomed will never mean that they won't try! Eireann go bragh!

[welsh89hairs]

up wexford boy

[petekay62]

Music is fantastic. Luke always played this one good. I'd question your spelling of Killan. Think you might just be missing an E there. Slan.

[Finlandperkele]

yeah, I didn't know if Killan or Killane was correct :S

[askinvillar]

I live a mile away from there and the way its always been spelled was Kilanne, but they changed all the names in Wexford, e.g. Oylgate to Oilgate. Its now Killann.

[rocsthedog]

Ditto to the comment below..

[OglachnahEireann]

Great vid, luv Luke Kellys version of this, good to see some info about John Kelly, I didnt know they kicked his head around! TÁL

[Finlandperkele]
