millions of white women out-side ireland in countries like england france brazil spain holland and america give birth to millions of half-caste and quater-caste children and out-breed redneck men because in the eyes of the white woman the white man is pure evil and a failure to normal society. hopefully irish women will also wake up from there slumber and join there many european sisters out-side ireland and also like them start breeding half-caste kids
Listen up my friends; Jesus coming in the clouds. I am looking for some help. I have been through an awakening of profound intensity and meaning. I speak the truth and can prove what I will expose. If you please, see the information coming out at MercyCal.com. Search videos at mercycal here at YouTube. It is truthful and I can prove it.

Seems there's some intangible something in the blood of so many of us who have ancestral ties to the UK and Ireland that draws us back in a very profound, almost haunting way. Maybe our Celtic ancestors would have wanted it that way. Mary Black, what a beautiful woman.

IRISH YOUTH CLUB ROMANIAN DRIVER WAS CONVICTED RAPIST
A Romanian bus driver for an Irish youth club was a convicted rapist. He had been sentenced at Manchester Court in 2004 and sentenced to 6yrs. He served only 3 and was sent back to Romania before moving to Millstreet in 2007 to join his parents here in Ireland. He has acquired 7 road traffic offences since coming here.
He was employed as a bus driver by a youth group in Cork. No check was done by Youthreach.
Beautiful song! Ireland does have true beauty. I'm never going to live it down moaning on how much I want to go to Ireland until I'm actually there, even if I'm on my death bed and still want my spirit and soul there!xD Somewhere I maybe actually I'll belong!:D
i miss ireland from the bottom of my heart, cause you gave me peace when i neede it the most. you´ll always be a part of my soul for always, i barley remember your kindness to me as i walked down the road to you park and i always miss you passion for always. you always be in my heart dublin i cant know when i+ll be back, but then ill be back i´ll embrace you as the brotther you are to me cause youl give me peace in my heart. i love you for always
waaeea u know what can do eith your 10million shove it up your ass you complaining assole, really at least we help' never nlet us stop either, we give a shit, that's what make us who we are, enough trash talk.
All of Ireland should be a part of the UK. In the US there are hundreds of millions of people, a huge civil war (1862) but no republic. Why is there a republic in the Isles!? Together, Ireland and the UK would be a superpower~
I dont believe that 2012 will be the end of the world... I KNOW FOR SURE IT WONT.
I've been checking all of those dumb predictions and there should've been wars in 2008 and earthquakes on the whole earth in 2009. Nothing of this has happened, so stop saying 2012 is real. The world will keep go round. Sadly.
IRISH FLOOD VICTIMS GET 70MILLION FOREIGN COUNTRIES GET 100MILLION FROM IRISH GOV.
Source:Irish Times 12/12/09.
We are sending 100million to foreign countries like Bangladesh for the climate change bill. Our own ppl get 70million. We also send millions on top of that in aid.
Bangladesh has a bigger military than the Irish army, Pakistan has a nuclear weapons programme and India is sending rockets to the moon. Meanwhile we pay for their poor. Would they help us if the roles were reversed?
as nice as this is have a listen to Luke Kellys version -- it makes my heart jump for joy as well as tears it apart all at the same time -- what more can i say -- gone but never forgotten R.I.P. Luke
DANGEROUS IMMIGRANTS 'ALLOWED' INTO BRITAIN, INCLUDING TALIBAN -- LEFTIE GOV. COVER UP.
A senior immigration official said that his staff were to be "encouraged to take risks" when granting visas.The cover-up by the Labour Gov. of this policy was so concerted, the Information Commissioners sent in investigators into the Labour Home Office. In late 2001, more than 20 Taliban who fled Afghanistan after their defeat by U.S & U.K forces were allowed to stay in the U.K
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ireland should still be a part of the UK! Why turn your back on such rich history amongst 2 peoples. Also Ireland did absolutely nothing in WWII. Terrorists yet cowards
A rich and bloody history. Ireland naver asked to be a part of the UK, but that did not stop the UK from taking over. By your logic America should have ramaind a colony of the UK as well. There was rich history there too. Well Ireland is, in most respects, not a part of the UK, and now there can be peace between the Irish and the English. Something I am glad to see in my life time. Ireland stayed neutral durring WWII, but so did Sweeden. As for the rest. Don't be mean.
I was recently in sligo on the west coast of ireland staying with my grandparents. my cousin and a few friends took me out on a bout to coney island. as i watched the sun go down behind the opel green sea leaving behind a golden trail of light illumintating the little streams through old fields and mountains, this song came to mind. we are blessed to live in such beauty.
Does "proud" the right term for this kind of feeling?
I'm French. Born and raised here. I feel the ground under my feet is mine and would fight for it but I'm not proud to be french. Not ashamed either. I think it is because the homeland and the country are two different things. Land is made of earth, rocks,trees and grass. Country is only issued of politics.
that's good! i really want to understand. i'm very interested in such things. in school we have the subject "ireland" and i hope is can learn a lot about your country!
I would take the time to explain what it is like to have pride in where you come from - but it will only confuse you as you do not seem to have any pride in your homeland.
I suppose the other posters on here will understand what I'm saying and maybe they can explain to you what its like to have pride in your country of birth!
my father was from waterford, and both of his brothers still live there. one in annestown, and one in bonmahon. i love the west of ireland. so rugged and beautiful. my mother is from cavan, swanlibar...on the boader/enniskillen
@westlife20 - I love Ireland too, but to say "I'm scottish but I wish I was Irish ..." is a disgrace to your country! But then with a user name like "westlife" explains a lot .. you'll be female for a start!
@westlife20 Scotland is a great country and is not less than Ireland you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm Scots Irish and love both countries equally.
@westlife20 ,you know,stay the scottish,you xan love it anyway,but I was born Czech,a udaler`s son,and the song much mean to me because I came here and I`ve been living here,on the west of beloved Ireland and I see....I became a freeman nearly late,but I did...Thanks a million,Irish,I may be here and free....
I saw a man get up and sing this unaccompanied in the Irish Centre, Hammersmith; I don't think he was a pro singer but he did a grand job. It was pure and simple and very moving. This vid is very emotive too, it's a great song.
No i don't have that one with Mary & Ralph singing it, though i would like to hear ir if anybody else has it.
that was my fault it was the way i recorded it, i recorded it from a portable tv that has a built-in video player, onto a a dvd player that was is connected to a wide screen tv, and when you upload it to YT the film comes up as the same size as the portable tv screen, and i can't get it to come up as widescreen. i don't do it now. thanks for the comment
Maybe you have seen some TV-stations that broadcast in this format where the image then looks way too tall on a normal TV ( as it does here on YT ) ? - unless it's relatively new and has compensation for this.
You may be able to find (free) video software that can "de-anamorph" this video into a normal 4:3 format - I guess the great, free and very versatile media conversion programme called Super will be able to do it.
A 'pretty' version of the song - but only the late, great Luke Kelly can put real meaning to the words - hang on to his every word. Such a shame that talent was taken from us all too soon. Luke Kelly is Ireland.
born in the north of ireland, yet a song like this strikes so deep into my heart, knowing what the british have done to my beautiful country! irish for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said. I have to agree with you! And Britain, at times, has gone to far....
remember this? "God brought the blight, but the English brought the famine!" As true as that may be...We do have to forgive the English, after all ,that's the Christian this to do, yea? It's hard, I know...And you are right......
Ireland conquers her conquerors and keeps the hearts of her emigrants and their children. My great-great-great-grandfather came to Georgia, USA from County Carlow almost 200 years ago. I've never visited the Emerald Isle. I am less Irish than a lot of people with Irish surnames, but I love Ireland. These Irish singers, dancers, and poets seem so familiar, even if they are distant. As Wm. Faulkner said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past."
@cosette2193 Thank you for your beautiful remarks. You've described how I often feel about my mother's people, who came from Wales, and my Dad's, too, who came across from Devon.
is someone born of two irish parents, with every decendant evermore from Ireland for at least the last 1500 years but born in Australia constitute an irishman or an Australian?
OMG...The man may be a city boy born and bred.From the dark waters of the River Mersey to Londons Thames but his parents where Wicklow Irish and though he is grown and listens to rock and dance he can be caught by a song such as this and his celtic soul flies back to the old green and a lump catches his throat and brings a tear to his eye for his past heritage of song and beautiful country......Thanks for posting..long live the Clancy Brothers...
Luke Kelly's version is the definitive one --go listen to it -- ahhhh heart breaking --such passion -- some day i will again stand on Blackrock strand and sing this to the waves.
The raging Atlantic ocean Rushes its waves ashore, Pounding the rocks and cliffs, And rises the white mist High up in the sky And mixes with the wind That blows ferociously from afar And falls on the rugged, barren, cold land Wetting the dark cliffs and lands and shores Ah, you Ireland, don't cry Over the cruelly cold sea wind O, You, Ireland, strong and beautiful That stands alone in the roaring sea You, the majesty of lone spirit Long, long live Ireland!
i spent many summers working in ireland (near kinsale, in cork) and my parents are from waterford and cavan. this tune/song evokes many menories as my mother is now very old and my dad is gone...lovely song. thanks...and...next comment
Why do people always want to compare?There is just one thing to say:this song is moving...so moving that it brings tears....and I am French... Ireland, what a fantastic country! I know I will go back there as soon as I can.
This is a beautiful song, well sung and accompanied by a good video. Luke Kelly was a great singer too. To praise one is not to diminish the other. It is sad to see Luke and Mary fans turning this

There should be no shame with having a National identity. Most people where ever they hail from express pride in their country of birth.

Just like she would not think of questioning my loyalty to the Queen and England.

i'm scottish but i wish i was irish i love the place
westlife20 2 years ago 19
Well if you are Scottish there's a strong chance you are Irish in part at least.
There is so much to admire about Eire, it's a wonderful place.

Yup, me great-great grandfather was from
the Old Sod. But he had a Scottish name.
Who knows. Just about anybody in the UK
may have Viking ancestors.
Better for folks to sing than fight. Not too likely though.

Whats a Scottish name?
I have Viking, Norman, & Scottish, which are Irish originally...
and the Celts were part of the 10 lost tribes of Israel, so I guess I am a semite.
Its an amazing feeling, to belong & Scotland and Eire are special places.

@westlife20 - I love Ireland too, but to say "I'm scottish but I wish I was Irish ..." is a disgrace to your country! But then with a user name like "westlife" explains a lot .. you'll be female for a start!

@westlife20 Scotland is a great country and is not less than Ireland you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm Scots Irish and love both countries equally.

I saw a man get up and sing this unaccompanied in the Irish Centre, Hammersmith; I don't think he was a pro singer but he did a grand job. It was pure and simple and very moving. This vid is very emotive too, it's a great song.

Love that song - great version.
Would anyone happen to have a clip of
Mary Black & Ralph McTell singing it ?
I know they did some time ago (80's, I think).
Btw. What a weird TV format they have in Ireland - is that the rare 9:16 format ? ;-)
ElvenDane 3 years ago 2
No i don't have that one with Mary & Ralph singing it, though i would like to hear ir if anybody else has it.
that was my fault it was the way i recorded it, i recorded it from a portable tv that has a built-in video player, onto a a dvd player that was is connected to a wide screen tv, and when you upload it to YT the film comes up as the same size as the portable tv screen, and i can't get it to come up as widescreen. i don't do it now. thanks for the comment
machree01 3 years ago
Ok, thanks - but please keep any eye out for it - I have only heard Ralph play it on his own, and would love to hear them together.
Ah, yes - it's to make it look natural on the wide screen, while still using all the horizontal lines - called "anamorphic 16:9" format.
ElvenDane 3 years ago
Maybe you have seen some TV-stations that broadcast in this format where the image then looks way too tall on a normal TV ( as it does here on YT ) ? - unless it's relatively new and has compensation for this.
You may be able to find (free) video software that can "de-anamorph" this video into a normal 4:3 format - I guess the great, free and very versatile media conversion programme called Super will be able to do it.

A 'pretty' version of the song - but only the late, great Luke Kelly can put real meaning to the words - hang on to his every word. Such a shame that talent was taken from us all too soon. Luke Kelly is Ireland.

Ireland conquers her conquerors and keeps the hearts of her emigrants and their children. My great-great-great-grandfather came to Georgia, USA from County Carlow almost 200 years ago. I've never visited the Emerald Isle. I am less Irish than a lot of people with Irish surnames, but I love Ireland. These Irish singers, dancers, and poets seem so familiar, even if they are distant. As Wm. Faulkner said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past."

OMG...The man may be a city boy born and bred.From the dark waters of the River Mersey to Londons Thames but his parents where Wicklow Irish and though he is grown and listens to rock and dance he can be caught by a song such as this and his celtic soul flies back to the old green and a lump catches his throat and brings a tear to his eye for his past heritage of song and beautiful country......Thanks for posting..long live the Clancy Brothers...

someone touch the bow,
He played a reel that seamed so grand and gay,
stood on dingle beach and cast,
In wild foam for Atlantic bass,
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
And sang a song for Ireland
