I cry to this, I watched my mother and father burn in me house during the troubles. UP THE RAH!!!

Is that Jim McCann singing?

Well sung, lovely tune, very suptle instruments.

[callan4ever]

@benkit49 your rabid hatred of a non existent 'race' is misinformed. Ireland was colonised and exploited by whom exactly? The English race? The Norman conquest of England was followed up by the Norman subjugation of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The 'English' originally were the Angles and Saxons from Germany. They invaded Celtic England after the Romans left. Centuries later the Normans ousted the Anglo Saxons. Ireland was exploited by those in power and not the residents of England

[benkit49]

Most people think that the majority of the USA is of English heritage....NOT TRUE!! The largest ethnic group was the Germans and then The Celts especially in the South. I am proud to say that not a drop of tainted english blood runs through my veins. They destroyed the culture of Ireland, Scotland and Wales and tried to conquer the world. Now they are reduced to a tiny little island. YES!!! NOW THE SUN DOES SET ON THE ENGLISH "EMPIRE".......Erin Go Bragh!!!

[callan4ever]

@benkit49 be an Irish patriot but don't demean yourself with racist comments. The history of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales is interwoven and multi layered.

[benkit49]

@callan4ever Yes! They are interwoven because the English forced their way of life on the Celts...you could also say they are interwoven with India and every other country they tried to conquer and colonize. You need to read the sorry history of the English race...their greed and haughty attitudes. If you don't like my comments you have a choice......don't read them.

[benkit49]

@benkit49 I agree with you and when I said English I meant the anglo-saxon tribes. I am not mis-informed; I have read extensively about their sorry history of conquering and colonisation. They wanted to conquer the world including the USA and impose their culture on us. It didn't work. Thanks to the founding fathers of our country who were mostly made up of Scots-Irish men we drove them out and became the greatest country on the face of the earth. But nothing lasts forever. Look at us now.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 lol nice try , as you know irish , krauts and mexicans peuto ricans , etc were all immigrants to america , most not welcome , so kept in ghettos harping on about the "homelands", and call themselves irish german ,russian etc etc americans , those figures were taken from census figures , most english , the "original"anericans just call themselves american , as they revolted from the mother country , the real figure ,is more like the english ,or british are the majority

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 the culture of scotland and wales are strong ,it wasnt destroyed , tainted , your a bigot mate , english ? most english families have a bit of welsh or scots ,even irish in them, theres no pure race , welsh,scots english and irish are individually proud of there land of birth , welsh scots , have fought the english down the centuries , had their fair share of victories , even invaded us, but were united when the chips are down ,can do with foriegners like you shit stairing

[benkit49]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish Hey limey. The Celtic countries of Scotland, Ireland and Wales spoke their own language until the english forced their language on them and outlawed the speaking of Gaelic consequently destroying their culture. It was for greed that the english took over Wales. i. e. coal mines. They forced Irish farmers off their land. The Scots gave the biggest fight...love live William Wallace!! Then the english transported thousands of borderland Scots to Northern Ireland.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

take a look at your own country ,and see what cultures and countries youve destroyed one way or another , wales ,and scotland , even ireland would of been occupied centuries ago by either french or spanish, and more recently germans , if it hadnt been for england , and how many irish would of gone to america , if america had been french or spanish , everywhere we went the irish were right behind , why dont you leave the continent of america and give it back hippocrite ,

[benkit49]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish I had to laugh out loud at you calling the english original Americans. NO!! Some of my ancestors the Muskogean people and many other native American tribes were the original Americans. If not for your prime minister churchill pleading to Roosevelt for help the Wehrmacht was getting ready to cross that channel so don't put down the United States of America...we saved your limey arses as we saved the Australians from the Japanese. TheMightOfTheenglish...haha..w­hat a joke!

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 You know what i ment , the original founders of the US of A , on american natives , derrrr,, your help was to sit and do nothing , apart from trade , everything you sold us was bought and then some, how do you think you got so rich! it was for your own intrests and benefit to get involved . all your isolation did was to draw out the war war longer than it could of been , it was the british merchant navy ,and 30,000 british merchentment lost and canada that saved us

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 after the fall of france ,we were alone just 20 miles from nazi occupied europe , that was june 1940 , were where you, dec 41 , it was 1942 before you sent any of your own men here , 3years late anyway , no USA no USSR , only help was from canada , there was no way the germans could cross the channel, we still had the largest navy in the world in 1940, they had to defeat the RAF , it was them who defeated the luftwaffe , to say you saved us is a joke ,

[benkit49]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish It was not Roosevelt and the greedy politicians of Washington DC that did not want to enter WW2. It was the majority of the American people who were totally against it. In secret meetings Churchill constantly pleaded with Roosevelt to provide manpower and not just materials. But, there had to be an "incident" to incite the American people. That "incident" came in the form of the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor. How convenient.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 so although we couldnt defeat the germans by invading europe , we couldnt be defeated either , it WAS mainlt the royal navy and canadian navy that won the battle of the atlantic, yes you played a part , thats about it , im pro american but yanks like you make me sick claiming you won the war all by yourselves ,you didnt ,equipment wise and hardware you played a massive part , deathswise you lost a similar amount to us compared to 20 million soviets

[benkit49]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish I quote Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. " I fear we have done nothing but to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve." The United States of America declared war on Japan; they never declared war on Germany. It was Germany who declared war on the USA. No, the USA was not prepared to fight a war at this time but every man, woman and child in America at the time helped to get the war machine moving and this is what saved England and France from Hitler.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 he did say that ,but britain had already saved itself from germany ,they could not be invaded , germany did not have the capability to come across the channel, the channel saved britain ,just like it did against spain, and napoleon, we defeated the luftwaffe ,and defeated the U boats , without american supplies we could not of defended ourselves no, but it was the largest merchant fleet in the world ,our ships that brought it over

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 we could not of won the war without america no, or invaded europe either , but i dont think america could of by themselves either , or ussr by itself, it took all 3 plus the commonwealth , and other countries to defeat them, the axis did have a good 6 years head start rearming , they had there chance in 1940 but blew it , and adolf ,his decisions time and again lost them the war ,

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 if we had fallen , germany would of occupied all of europe ,north africa , all our colonys , south africa , if they had taken our navy to , and takenthe french navy , the combined german,british,french,italian navies would of dominated the atlantic , the germans would of taken the falklands ,jamaica, belize ,cutting off the panama canal, took the middleeastern oil fields, cut off the supply line to russia through iran, linked up with the japanese in india

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 all those german forces in the west ,norway and north africa ,to attack the soviets , no bombing of nazi germany , all the resources used to defeat the soviets , america supplied the soviets 95% of the red armys trucks , and vital supplies through iran/persia, that wouldnt of happend, no british in greece, thegermans would of attacked russia in the early summer , reaching moscow before the winter had started , they delayed it invading greece and attacking us in crete

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@benkit49 all that while you sat on the fence , you had a small army in 1940, most of your navy in the pacific, youd be isolated , have to fight on both fronts , the germans would of got the atomic bomb before you , so tell me einstien , how america could of won, .. no radar ,no german code , surrounded , best you could do would be sue for peace , theres no way you could of invaded europe from america , so you see , this little island holding out saved your asses really lol , and thats fact

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

the british  never tried to conquer the world , tell me were it was written, early exploration and colonisation , was because other european powers had aready done it over 100 years before , spanish and other european colonialists ,their history in treatment of natives is far worse , ask the incas ,the aztecs ,, we were the first to abolish black slavery, check your record, , most british empire ex countries are still in the commonwealth ,if we were that bad ,why is that?

[pdochmum]

@benkit49

Do they now...I think that the majority of the USA need a mtfukin history lesson lol!!!!!!

[themanbearpig]

Hopefully one day we can sing about bold Scots.

[vanpablo79]

fantastic upload. think stephen and year2020 need some time out!

[Germungus]

This takes me back to being a very young boy of about 6 or 7 years old with my head on my old grannies lap. She sang this to me whilst she stroked my hair, sending me to sleep.

I love it.

[kittibee10]

alot of these old songs were telling history for a people who had their , language , religion and education outlawed .. their population halved by starvation and half of what was left had to leave or die .. I am astonished at the level of ignorance from people who should really focus on the truth... Erin Go Brath... Tiochfadh ar La !

[BAC1954]

Hi , I also love this fine song.Remember all the Irish who died fighting in whatever army , they gave their lives , pray for their souls Ar dheis De go raibh anamnacha dilis.

[laochgael1]

aye like 2 fleas rowin over d dog der on

[Briginvdb]

I was called an English bitch in Scotland even though my parents were Irish, such is life, my father asked me "if you were born in a stable, would that make you a horse, well ask yourself who is wrong in this. I feel Scottish but only a little, and anyway I live in Belgium where the problems are worse we can't even get a government although we voted in May

[TheYearTwentyTwenty]

I moved from Ireland to Scotland when i was a kid i used te think it was a derogative term for a catholic, almost everyday i was called a "FENIAN BASTARD!" by these fuckin' retards who called themselves "prodies" who thought that being protestant meant they where athiest. But i'm no bitter about it.

I think Scottish sectarianism is funny as fuck when the the biggots from both sides don't have a fuckin clue what they're talkin about.

[stephenjamesfitz]

@TheYearTwentyyou think cause we're fae Glesga we don't have a clue , your'e a fuckin wank, they were probably callin you a stupid lookin bastard , THE PATRIOTIC FLAME WILL NEVER DIE , UTRIRA ,

[TheYearTwentyTwenty]

@stephenjamesfitz I never said anything about people fae Glasgow but you clearly don't have a fuckin' clue. I was talking about biggoted catholics as well as biggoted protestants. Read shit before ye comment on it ya fanny.

[xxShanexxxx]

Shut up talkin shite yea bollox

[LondonIrishRover]

I didn't think the Clancy Brothers version could be beaten until I heard this. Brilliant version, excellent song.

[john1967ification]

great version. god bless ireland

[GaetanGMusic]

It's a shame people should get violent because of this song. I don't think any British should be held responsible for what happened in the Past, there's a time for fighting and a time for forgiveness. And that works both ways. Just my two cents.

[GaetanGMusic]

Now speaking about the Troubles and trying to say who started it without looking far back is nonsensical. The Troubles are the heritage of the Partition and the death of Michael Collins. I'm saying all this to bring some more real facts without passion.

[GaetanGMusic]

Speaking about Catholics is even inaccurate. There's nothing even remotely religious in there - it's political and cultural. Being a Catholic is part of an identity : Irish, republican. As opposed to British loyalist. The first often Catholics (but also Protestants for some of them) the second Protestants.

[GaetanGMusic]

But saying this doesn't mean you're a pro-terrorist fascist, that's only History.

Then saying Catholics were never oppressed (because - and it's true - Catholics are free in England) is wrong. Remember the deportation from Ulster ? "To Connaught or to Hell" is a famous quote. And the Great Famine or even the fact that Catholic children were forbidden to go to school ? And we're not even speaking about 20th century.

[GaetanGMusic]

I love this song.

Reading the comments, I'm sad to see so much hatred. But just a few History seems to be needed yet.

Saying there was democracy in NI is wrong. In a democracy civilians wouldn't be shot at by soldiers, prisonners wouldn't be tortured and hunger-strikers wouldn't die in prison. Hey, that was western Europe 1970s-80s, supposedly the good guys! I remember leaders of South Arfica saying the system in NI was more efficient than their Apartheid. What a model of democracy hey ?

[32eire32jim]

Great Britain is an island situated to the northwest of Continental Europe. The island of Ireland lies to its west. Politically, Great Britain may also refer to the island itself together with a number of surrounding islands which comprise the territory of England, Scotland and Wales.

[16881873]

The fascist and Neo-Nazi IRA were rightly trounced by the British Army and the many Loyalist activists who prevented the overthrow of democracy by IRA bomb and gun in Ulster. The IRA also murdered more Northern Irish Catholics than the British ever did. This myth of the "oppressed Catholics" in Ulster is laughable when the reality was that during The Troubles Catholics " emigrated" into Ulster from across the border rather than live in Eire.

[32eire32jim]

@16881873 I've never read so much bullshiy in my life, get real you physchopath

[16881873]

@32eire32jim This isn't difficult for most. Did the fascist IRA attempt and fail to overthrow democracy by violence in Northern Ireland ? Did the Irish Nationalist Socialists aka IRA ( Irish Nazis ) murder more innocent Catholics in Ulster during The Troubles than the British and Loyalist activists ? Only a fascist would disagree with any of the above.

[32eire32jim]

@16881873 If your idea of democracy is to colonise a foreign country then you are a joke. You're just another raving hun. Get real, the english and british were the worse scourge ever inflicted on this planet.

[16881873]

@32eire32jim Raving hun ? I'm probably more Irish than you are. lol The only "colonisers" and oppressors of the Irish people have been The Vatican who nearly 800 years ago under Pope Adrian 4 ordered Henry 2 to invade Ireland in his name. And The Vatican today is still quite literally buggering the Irish. lol You're British anyway as you live in the British Isles and always will do.

[32eire32jim]

@16881873 You are a hun, it's obvious, you're a dirty orange bastard and you know it. You reek of it you dirty dyin incestuous cunt. God save your inbred german result of years of incest queen indeed. All huns are the same B.R.A.I.N.D.E.A.D

[16881873]

@32eire32jim Don't be bitter that I'm more Irish than you are and laughing at your ignorance and stupidity regarding Ireland's history. We're all British anyway....you're even writing in your Queen's English. As Gerry Adams and his paedo brother would say.... " Sucky Our Da ! " lol

[32eire32jim]

@16881873 I'm Irish born and bred, how can I be british when I live in the Rep you donkey, I've had enough of u, you're obviously just another idiot hun who rides his sister for a living

[16881873]

@32eire32jim You're British as you live in the British Isles. Your basic geography knowledge is almost at the same level as your Irish history. This has been too easy......lol Rule Britannia !

[32eire32jim]

@16881873 You are obviously retarded

[northamerican2121]

now i can enjoy this legendary song,god bless the musicians

[northamerican2121]

@16881873 well well well, I'm an american and after the revolution when we stomped the dog shit out of your english ass - we could have subjugated you, and looking back we should have to knock that arrogant attitude out of you so you could be a real human but i guess we are too nice, right of might you remember that saying of yours and if you wouldnt have fought the germans there wouldnt have been a one thing good that you did for the world ,i wonder if we left you hangin on that for a reason

[16881873]

@northamerican2121  Get educated, you fool. Your Founding Fathers were English.....and deep down, most educated Americans wish they were still English. As for the rest of the drones......who really cares ? Also remember, when you eulogise and praise the cold-blooded murdering terrorists of the IRA, you are also doing the same for those heartless killers who flew planes into the World Trade Center on 9 /11. Enjoy the song now.......

[northamerican2121]

Get educated, muppet. Only the Scots -Irish and the English civilised America. The Oirish only brought criminality, corruption and paedophilia.

[northamerican2121]

[16881873]

@northamerican2121  You'll need to do better than this. Just not good enough, I'm afraid. lol Your dumb, obese American novelty value wore off long ago and lowering my IQ to try and decipher what looks like a 5 year old's attempt at written English is rather tedious. Get an adult to write on your behalf what you want to say, there's a good chap.

[northamerican2121]

@16881873 once again i dont give two shits about grammer,just kickin english ass,your ass in history,which by the way you dont even dare talk about anymore because YOU did not pay attn in school dumbass,its to bad you were supposed to be the smart one,anyway i just care about the important things ,like correcting you in your own history,are you some glue sniffing 14 year old or what... lol

[northamerican2121]

@16881873 you are more concerned with grammer than the lives of people.remember that your a piece of shit and the filth of humanity while you jerk off that thumb sized thing you call a penis AAAHHHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAA damn that was good ,see ya pec

[16881873]

@northamerican2121 Back again for more punishment, eh. ? lol Only natural I suppose that you dumb lard-assed Americans are obsessed with your social and intellectual superiors. Don't they have remedial schools or colleges in the USA for educationally-subnormal individuals like yourself. ? I should really be charging a fee for this education lesson. lol Rule Britannia !

[northamerican2121]

[lorgain2]

Peader Kearney who composed the song would have gloried in the emotion this song brings out on some people, lie back and enjoy the song.

[terjimoore]

So good Dubliners & Co

I saw you in Faroe islands - One of the best concerts in my life. Got only one thing to say to you brave Irishmen: Never ever give up !

Go Mbeannai Dia Eire

BJ Faroe Islands

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

the faroe isles , is still part of denmark, so why dont you get your own independence fully ,nothing brave about blowing up your own cities and murdering innocent civilians the last 40 years

[TheBigjakeful]

to say that no one loves their country anymore is utter bollocks, i am scottish and i love my country with everything that i am, and when i breath the air it goes straight to my heart. if we ever came under the sword again i would be the first to rise in defence of this land. and deep down whether they realize it or no everyone is just as ardent a patriot as i no matter where their from. would you be able to tell the fenians that or the IRA or William Wallace for the love of god.

[dzzlixz]

Berrier I dont think Reesco was being nasty, he/she is stating that no one cares anymore about their country or their music! And that it is a shame that this feeling has been lost! Relax buddy!

[berrier123]

what are u talking about reesco2005 you fucking mupet. i suppose u know more about our music then we do. typical yank and u people wonder why the world hates u

[needasecondchance]

Hiya, I think reesco was stating fair comment, meant no harm, you gotta checkout the late great Luke Kelly on here, awesome is an understatement to describe this mans talent, good luck my friend, Patrick,

[Elfgris]

A beautiful song, sung with all your heart ... It is beautiful to sing the glory of those who died for the freedom of their country.

GLORY TO THE FENIANS!

RESPECT!

[reesco2005]

people dont have the love for the land no more so they dont care for the music its such a shame

[Hefferman1]

This Southern man of Scotish decent disagrees.

I love the music of the South and Scotia. It is in my blood and rings true.

I also like Irish IRA music.

That comes from a dislike for anything British. That is in my blood too.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

hefferman scots are british ,i think you should call yourself an american , which is the nation of your birth, my grandfather was scottish but im proud to be english , funny how much support that we give you , and a large percentage of americans are of british decent , yet you dislike us lol ,your more like us and vice versa than anyone ,our history is your history ,with all its ups and downs

[spraoi111]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish If your grandfather was scottish then you could say youve assimilated to the conquer. And now with your english might and superiorty complex which could b said stems from an insecurity on a personal level you spout out neo-colonial mumbo jumbo... Éire Saor agus Éire Gaelach!!

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 rubbish , im proud of my link to scotland, its not us or them as nationalists may think ,trying to forge a wedge between us , theres no superiority feeling over scotland at all , were both british nations , theres nothing wrong with flying the scots flag or english flag , people like the scottish nationalists are only wanting partition because then the,ll go to europe as a small nation and rake in handouts just like ireland did.,without europe they wouldnt dream of it

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 as i just said ,, my tag was chosen ,not because i think were superior , but that i knew it would wind you irish up, you wave your tricolour, hate another nation ,us , go on about ireland 24/7 , just who is the nationist , the ireland for ireland remarks you hear, whos the nazi , most republicans here , have page after page of IRA and republican videos , and spout out hatred ,you can breath it , ive a few pro english vids on mine ,but vast majority music vids

[spraoi111]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish Two replys Must of touched a nerve ha ha . I dont agree with everything Irish Republicans have done but if you rationalize their actions and discourse its not too difficult to see that it derives from long term oppression. Irish nationalism cant be compared to german nationalism in Nazi times because all the Irish ever wanted was self determination not world domination. On the other hand English nationalism is actually much closer aligned to nazi ideology.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 , everyone who supports england and defends them passionately and is concerned about immigration and so on, doesnt mean your a nationalist , bunch of idiots, as them american nazis are,seig heiling, proud of nazi germany, holocaust deniers, idiots really, and few in number, the troubles in NI, had little to do with us , it wasnt us withholding nationalist human rights , but the unionist dominated stormont government ,

[spraoi111]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish See thats a typical warped view created from the media. Of course Westminister withheld the rights of the Catholics. To say they didnt is either mislead or ignorant of the FACTS. They were gunned down for seeking civil rights peacefully by the army who claim to protect us. It was only after being completely rejected by the Uniosnist Stormount with the guiding hand of Westminister from participating in the so called democratic process that the bombing started.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 im talking of pre 69 and before the goverment took over in NI, not afterwards ,there were even british politicians who were ignorant about ireland, the army totally was . before we got involved in NI why would the british government be anti catholic , theres many many catholics in england, they ,if they want can go to their own schools,they can . theres no anti catholic sentiment from the public either

[spraoi111]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish Sorry should have said all the Irish ever wanted is self determination: Present Tence.... As to your desire for confrontation with Irish people i'm actually welsh and I dont consider myself British like many scottish friends and would be ashamed to be associated with you... Anyway hope you liked the song!?

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 your welsh and your british mate , british being a native of the isle of britain, it has nothing to do with being english ,or welsh or scots, it goes back to the romans , i wouldnt get hung up on the term british, british doesnt mean english , your both. i wouldnt start all that plaid cymru shite either, english and welsh blood is well mixed ,as our history is, ive both scots and welsh blood

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 its not a desire to confront irish , just to confront right from wrong and lawful from unlawful , they seem planting a bomb in birmingham pubs and warrington was perfectly legimate and not unlawful , and murdering people under the guise of being a soldier,freedom fighter was alright, they didnt even reconise the soutthern goverment, they were responsible of what NI became during the troubles not us

[spraoi111]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish Wwe need to rationalize their actions! In d end the bomb was seen as the only option which many commentators take the view that as a strategy it actually worked by ensuring public pressure to bring about a peace process. Although there wasnt support during the entire conflict the Irish gov were giving weapons to the IRA and were even ready to send their army in to reoccupy areas to protect the communities being oppressed by OUR STATE!

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 enoch powell got the sack for his views about bigotry , even in the late 60s politcal correctness was starting to break through , im sure with wider campaigning and awareness in the UK those civil rights would of come about without the terrorism ,which acheived little ,but prolong peace coming about . the unionists were out of order and the loyalist paramilitaries who played their part in bringing the start of the troubles to

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

mybrother worked in harland and wolfe for a while , said it was very secterian,with ulster flags hanging up,, i know catholics had to go through loyalist areas to get to the yard ,i find it terrible ,that people were forced from their jobs to, my argument as always been the way the ira used the catholic neigbourhoods and people ,to whip up the whole terrible period of the troubles

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

i heard that charles hockey , however you spell it lol, was sending weapons north, if the irish army would of been sent into the north , it would of been a disaster for ireland on a massive scale , thankfully some irish saw commonsense and stopped what would of been its total destruction

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 its not that im against the irish having self determination , its the way they went about it , their methods,and the way they dont accept what they did was unlawful and criminal, ,they did not represent the people of ireland ,and still dont , you say you would be ashamed to be associated with me , im anti terrorist ira mate , for every scot or welsh that say what you say , their,ll be 10 who,d agree with me

[spraoi111]

@TheMightOfTheEnglish I'm anti terrorist too!! But it was the state that represent s us that done the majority of the terrorizing. You need to remember that the Unionism is intertwinned with the Orange Order- a sectarian organisation based on prodestant supremecy supported by westminster to keep the population divided. Catholics where faced with a bigoted state fuctioning with the full support of our states mechanisms and apparatus.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@spraoi111 , tell me why would the british people and westminster pre 1969 , want  to keep the public , the two sdes divided , look what it resulted in. ive always said that the civil rights movement was a righteous one, until the IRA got involved , it was never about a united ireland to the majority, just a level playing field and equal housing and jobs,, any englishman would of supported the catholic minority if it had been known here what was going on

[northamerican2121]

@reesco2005 i love the land as my heart and soul,and as for the music well other than god ,kids and dogs what else in the world is worth anything

[kerrygold19l6]

Beautiful Ireland...In my dreams...Great Lyrics

[maiashakti]

Absolutely the best. Thank you!

[larrycake1981]

we should all campaign for a national station dedicated to Irish songs and music. Its a disgrace that our beautiful songs arent heard on the airwaves. The mainstream media are a joke or some would say have an agenda; anyway great tune.

[exogencontainment]

Yes, mainstream music is for those who just want to 'listen' to music as a substitution for noise. It is a joke and will never satisfy those of us who 'hear' music.

BTW: beautiful song

[wolfbrother2501]

listen to "they dont play our songs on the radio" by the wolfetones says the same thing

[afertyus1000]

yes they want to forget these rebel songs due to the connotations associated with them'

never forget the proud Eire history

[spraoi111]

@larrycake1981 Larry Cake you should be President of the new found Republic of Fenian men. I could be your campaigns officer and you my leader. If you have a sister then i'll marry her and have staunch Gaelic children. Tiocíness

[berrier123]
