Luke Kelly: A Nation Once Again

[irishgeal1]

the true soul of ireland.

[dustysailor1]

Accept totally 20%, northern european influnce is a much younger gene pool, the more established Welsh,Cornish,Irish and Basque connection is visable to this day. The same hardpoint genepool areas exist in Ireland today mainly associated with west Cork/Kerry and Connocht. Litteraly the areas least exposed to Norman and subsequent Anglo influence be it by geography or resistance. But of the remaining 80% what % of the older races DNA still survive, our islands were after all,well visited.

@dustysailor1 ye generally, still need more substansial DNA studies if possible...so much mixing now esp in britain gonna be difficult. The island may be well visited but the take away message is they didnt leave that huge a genetic trace...still mostly the same old black and ginger gene carrying nutters from iberia lol

[3tangle3]

@dustysailor1 I study genetics, the english are not that germanic (maybe 20% at most mainly towards the east).....most have similar ancesotrs to the welsh and cornish but they lost this brythonic celtic tongue.......needs much research if new to ancient history...(the welsh and irish share connections with the basques as well after post ice age spread)

[TheProvisional21]

One of the best irish musicians ever. Rest in peace Luke. We will never forget you. Greetings from West Belfast. We are still there.

[irishgeal1]

luke makes a heart burst with pride

[jayanjes]

yes a true Irish legend!!!

[Snedger]

I'm not a European and don't want to be one. I'm English. That's my race. I don't want to have any connection with the Scots, Welsh or the Irish or any other nation. I have the same disregard for those people as they have for mine. So that makes us quits.

[dustysailor1]

@Snedger Nothing personal, but have you looked at your countrys history, you are an Angle/Saxon at best, plus french viking German irish etc. Look I just saw your comment, didn't look at any previous, we are all interlinked / bred. It's probabley a good thing Looking forward to the 6 nations, bit of fun and a couple of pints

[3tangle3]

@Snedger LOL you really think english are a distinct race. How old are you? I am a genetical historian - the english ancestors spoke languages like welsh and cornish (brythonic) where do you think the names pennines, dover (dwfr), liverpool, penrith, caerlisle come from....they aint germanic matey...English are only part germanic ...you been culturally brainwashed by the ruling elite over the years to think your a race...god help you all

[19Moira]

we should all fight for our rights. and we should be what we are..we are various internatioal people in Europe and we are all Europeans. i think thats pretty nice...!!

[Noxid666]

Luke if you could see ireland now you would be heart broken, I know I am the government has given up on the youth the sick the men women and children with special needs ... we have lost our way we are not free ... all because of greedy men we have lost our way

[smeejit]

Damn Fianna Fáil for turning Ireland into a province of Europe.......

[Noddy1690]

Am I right in saying that he lved in England for a few years?

[Nugget12421]

@Noddy1690 Moved when he was 17 to work for a metal works company or something like that with his brother. Was sacked for asking for more money if I recall correctly from Wikipedia. Used to sell 'The Socialist' newspaper by singing do people would buy it. What a lad!
