This is an proper republican song. He doesnt mention religions. The people who made that a big feature were the English. Divide and conquer, James I decided on that segregated society when he finally beat an Niallach. Religion is an irrelevant thing. The first republicans in Ireland were the United Irishmen. Lead by... well.. Presbyterians...Freedom?
@Jevois2 Thats all it ever was about...... and the thing that annoys me the most now is the (excuse me language) Handicaps in leinster, munster and connaught continuously voting for tyrant governments such as Fianna Fáil, Fine Geal.... if they only knew just to back Sinn Féin Éire could have been United years ago.
Hs anyone noticed how the two princes never go to war ? They always seem to be conveniently on "flight training" or something, then you see 'em pictured in getting pissed in country pubs and in London's clubs. The old man too, at the Cenotaph every Nov. bedecked in medals he didnt win in a war he was know where near. It makes me want to vomit, the brits love these people, all they do is help pay for their lavish lifestyle. So Gullible.
Well now, if all the MLAs and other politicians could sing like Francie and Anne Brolly, we might see a bit more imaginative thinking. There is so much history in the songs of ireland, and so much singing from the heart.
An astonishingly emotive video, brilliantly edited, an absolute credit to you. God bless all the republican hunger strikers and the blanketmen. We all owe our deepest gratitude to their sacrafice, for through their struggle and their suffering the people of Ireland gained equality. Ciaran nugent will always be revered as the man who took the 1st step, a legend as they all are. Ireland owes a huge debt of gratitude to you all, We salute the brave volunteers of Oglaigh na heireann. God bless you!!
A thought for Ciaran Nugent, the first republican prisoner to be convicted since the abolition of political status and refused to wear prison clothes and was left in his cell with nothing to wear except a blanket
im now only getting around to actually reading in my 39th year about the full story of the brave irishmen who undertook the hunger fight what men, we would have called them martyrs had been born 200 years earlier,what men.
This song says it all , RIP THE BRAVE

Catholic I am always will be.
English I am always will be.
They put us down the pits you see.
So the owners could get richer you see.
The workers were never free
Our rents were all but free.
