Contin..Than the rest of the of the youth of the Island, you cannot deny that, that incidently is not being "partitionist", it is a reality. you really have no idea what it is like living in a hostile statelet within your own country which wants you out.
Try living on the ground, reality is far more horrific than Connolly's noble sentiments.
@RonainMacCathain When we were being burned out of Belfast by the Loyalists backed up with the British Army. Mr Haughey contributed to the weapons which defended our people.
You should learn your history before judging a great Irishman when Blueshirt trash were more than happy to sit back & watch us be near massacred.
@gespb32 He was a corrupt cheating gombeen bastard not a great Irishman. He was the same Charlie Haughey who campaigned for internment without trial for IRA members. Some hero you have..
@RonainMacCathain He still got arms to us when we were defenceless, no one else in the Republic dared, he is a hero to us here & always will be.
He had to play the typical partitionist role but we knew where he stood in reality. For this act alone he was & always will be a hero, regardless of his faults.
@gespb32 Why did he have to play the partitionist role? he could have ordered the 26 county army over the border to help but never bothered his hole. Too busy getting rich off the backs of the people.
@RonainMacCathain As I said he already helped by getting funds & arms to us, had he sent the Army over the border the Brits would have over-run the entire Island eventually with the help of their NATO allies, it was a dangerous game of political brinkmanship but he played it well.
The drival that cocky little children who have no idea what they are talking about here is stomach-turning. Kids in the Republic should stop watching x factor & soccer & look at their history books.
@gespb32 Haughey was a gombeen man. A corrupt piece of filth, not even you can deny that he was as corrupt as they come. Gaddafi gave more arms than Haughey. I dont watch x factor or soccer.
@RonainMacCathain A "Gombeen" man, Boy, do you even know what the term means? do you know about that man's intellect in University? how he was estemeed by his peers?
Gaddafi? do you know how he got in contact with our people? as I said boy, grow up & learn our history.
Or do something useful & serve our race, from what I have seen, the 26 counties has become full of overweight people who are not interested in anything except X factor or English football.
@gespb32 So people who are over weight, like X Factor and English football stops at the border with the six counties..lol. You suffer from Partitionism. I do know what the term means. It means he was corrupt as fuck. He is exactly what James Connolly described when he talked about ''dirt eating capitalist traitors''. You would hoist the Green Flag and gladly have criminal scum like Haughey ruling us just because he is Irish and not British.
@RonainMacCathain Would I hoist the Green Flag? yes & have done, he was not perfect but he stood up & defended us when the rest of them did not want to know, I never said obesity stopped at the divide so you cant accuse me of that, however, let us agree it is a problem with Irish youth of to-day who have no interest in their heritage, history & culture & are only concerned with premiership "football", however Irish people in the six counties are far more concerned for Ireland.
@gespb32 What stats can you provide that the six counties has a higher percentage of youth concerned with Ireland. Every time ive been in the six counties everyone wears english soccer jerseys even the english national team shirts. Haughey was as bad as the Brits but you dont care he screwed the people because he was an Irishman. I do live in a hostile statelet, the free state. Ever tried it?
@RonainMacCathain Stats? dont get to clever boy, ever have your house smashed up by state-sponsored militia? ever see your relations kicked half to death by Loyalists? you have no idea what your talking about.
I have lived in the Republic of Ireland which stopped being a "free state" back in the forties, where do you live, grow up kid.
@rog10101010 Is it any wonder that the world is in financial turmoil when there are people prepared to idolise scum like Charles Haughey? Let's hope he suffered a prolonged, painful death. He deserved it.
It would be a insult to animals to call this human an animal! A self serving evil corrupt arrogant ugly potato headed cockroach. Apart from de valera the most evil man in irish history. The only differance between haughey and stalin is the scale of there crimes. we should have strung haughey up by his balls yet we gave him a state funeral! thats the republican influence that made that possable. charles haughey was a thundering cunt and we should all piss on his grave.
His name is out of the Dail now.. most of the families who had a legacy there are gone, due to the fact they were nearly all fianna fail. It really is new times.
Ah fair play to him. Great leader, helped did us out of the hole in the late 80's, had a great vision for the country. Shame about the corruption though.
Must say fairplay to good old charlie,he even robbed the fools who voted for him and they were so stupid they even defended him!!!Acted in the good of the irish people,for gods sake what a load of .....?
and the other crook bertie called him a patriot to his fingertips............in fairness to bertie....i think he meant to say a crook to his fingertips
I think ye are being a bit harsh. The man did great things for the country. Sure, he took a few bob for himself, but who wouldnt if you were in his position.
@ballickmoyler pearse, connolly, clarke, macdonagh, mac dermott, plunkett, ceannt and many many others who gave a shit about the country rather than lining their own pockets. a bit harsh? not a fucking chance
He took a few bob? The corruption of the Irish Banks today(which along with the builders ended the boom) was something him and his chums, especially Des Traynor, started in the 1970s. Between 1988 and 1996 he spent £3 million on day to day expenses along with his £62,000 a year salary.
The Irish Political-banking system must have been the most corrupt in the world.
@capetown99 £3 million is nothing compared to the income attracted to ireland through his innovation and hard work. Let an irish patriot rest in peace. Even Mick Collins lined his own pockets.
@ballickmoyler Your having a laugh!. The definition of a Patriot is someone who devotes all their energy to the betterment of their countrymen. Old Charlie boy stole 250,000 off one of his friends, Brian Lenihan, money that was meant to get him a liver transplant in the US.
What a dirty fucking robbing scum bag, just like the rest of the thieves in suits! This is one reason criminals are at large today, because the state let them down like it let everyone down. If anyone wants a criminal career, and to legally get away with robbing people, join Dáil Éireann!
And still the sheep in the suits clapped and applauded him, even as he left the stage. I have lost the ability to be shocked and disappointed by the people we choose to represent us.
@breda83 I agree but to be fair we had no choice in his funeral i blame the twats that stood at the side of the road to pay their respects to this criminal
I hope Michael Collins and DEV are giving him a daily kicking in the afterworld, for his criminal acts, He served himself first and then threw the scraps to the people.
he had alot of faults and did alot of wrong,but i think he had pride in ireland,doing up dublin castle for the eu presidency,visting steven roche when he won tour de france,wearing the irish scarf for italia 90,he had some common sense aswell,approving knock airport which gave country tourism,and when someone fucked up he made them resign unlike the usual craic we have now like moving ya to somewhere else or giving you a big lovely pay off like the fas joke
Since Eoin O'Duffy never made it this man is the greatest leader this country has ever had. People who think he did wrong are wrong themselves. He was a God amoung men. If only we had a Dictatorship and we'd have the north back now and no musilims or africans in here. We should do that Dn thing and try to bring him back to life, we'd be better for it i'm tellin ya. At lest bring back the Blueshirts and sort out all these bankers an blacks and islam fellas. Thats what i say anyway. Long live C.H!
true republican???are you fucking mad??? he gave up the gibralter 3 to thatcher for fucks sake. he set them up to keep the bitch happy. fuck the cunt. rest in piss
Agree with you on the IRA bit. Awful. Something tells me I wouldn't be getting any balance in a discussion about this. Greetings to you and your brethern up in the UK. Big fan of your marches :)
Thanks, he was a bad un alright, but I think the worst one is the one that has dragged Ireland into ratifying a treaty that gives away its sovereignty.
Big fan of the deep south, Ennis is my favourite place for R&R
The outstanding Irish politician in the decades since Lemass.
Praters go on about him being a thief. Nonsense. He was given money and took it...quite rightly and why not? He was a visionary and highly competent leader. if only he was around now.
The man was a thief and a corrupt politician and what's worse he laid the seeds for successive Irish politicians to continue serving themselves first and the country second. Yes he did introduce policies that laid the foundations for the boom years, but so what, that was his job. ireland had long since blamed history and others for its economic failings, the truth is we simply needed to modernize and embrace the EU. Haughey should have spent his last years in prision just like anyone one else
"I have always sought to act solely and exclusively in the best interests of the Irish people."
Now that's surely a winner of the Beverage Through the Nose Award.
He was a corrupt, cronyist, conniving conman who caused a generation of Irish people to leave through emigration. (I was one of them but I'm back now).
He bred a culture of corruption that we are going to find very hard to get out of.
Spit on his memory. And on anyone who tries to glorify it.
a true thief. He should have said " i did myself some service - I took out loans and never bothered to pay them back, I lived like a king on the backs of the public, I was corrupt, I cheated on my wife - but no more of that.'
LOL! Are we talking about the same guy? I'm talking about CJH who single handedly lifted this country out of the 3rd world and layed the ground work for the Celtic Tiger. It's only a shame that Biffo et al messed it all up again. RIP CJH
I take it you're one of the people who keeps voting for FF - thanks a lot - you also have done the state (F£$kall) service. He presided over the country in the 80's and early 90\s right? When unemployment was rife or as you put it , Ireland was like a 3rd world country. And now it's happening again thanks to FF corruption. Well keep voting for Zanu FF - this country has unfortunately a high proportion of stupid people who like to be governed by the even more stupid.
I vote for who I think can do the best job at the time regardless of what party they're in. If you think that I voted for the current bunch of incompetent tosspots in charge of the country right now then you're more ridiculous than your comment.
Haughey championed a culture of corruption which has since devastated the Irish economy, poisoning the banking sector, reeking havoc on Irish society. Haughey served himself! When he stepped down from office no blue chip companies wanted him on their board of directors, an ignominious end for a supposedly elder statesman.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Greatest leader this country has ever had.YES,he was a crook...but an honest crook.Face it,he laid the foundations of the Celtic Tiger...which is too often glazed over nowadays.Even before he became An Taosaich,he was a hard working man.Personal and professional life should not mix (as long as the man has worked hard in his job,which Haughey di). Face it,where are the Lemass',Haugheys and Ahern's now....you scared em away...and now we are sinking.
He was a chancer but probably not a whole lot worse than the majority of the Fianna Fail party. He did however set the foundations for the Celtic Tiger.
He set the foundations for his own and his family's wealth. And for property developers and speculators too.O, and banks and corrupt politicans. How is Mr. Dunlop?
fair play the man was human & built this economy where we all had a piece of the action...I just cant help wonder how he would deal with the current climate....sure he could do no worse than any of the current leaders...Cowen....Kenny & that Labour gang....God saves us all.
jesus he did alot of good as well.... fair enough, he took money from people..but they were willing to give it...dermot desmond said in an interview he'd gladly give him money again(that was when charlie was still alive obviously)....who does'nt try and cheat the tax system like?and he got caught and paid for it...the abuse he is getting here is uncalled for.
well somebody needed to defend him...like he still deserves people's respect...and thanks for saying you like my musical taste...i don't like listening to crap!!!
Corruption brreds corruption. Haughey and his were and are corrupt. He did no good good for this country, that arms runner and corrupt. I never cheated te tax system. And I respect Pearse, not like Haughey. Only a fool believes in that evil man.
Ya...i suppose the IFSC never helped anyone or trying to stop people smoking...and he tried to import arms to protect the catholics in NI because the police force there were doing sweet fuck all!!People in Ireland love to forget the good things people do...Evil is a bit of a fucking overstatment...they would have been corrupt with or without him.
I hope Fianna Fail get in again at the next election, I just love being ridden roughshod by gombeen men! Slieveenism and corruption all the way! The Irish really deserve their elected representatives, "suire he's a crooked hoor but sure he's one of the lads begorrah!" We don't mind being fucked rotten nowadays so long as the person sitting in the big chair doesn't have an english accent! Touraloo touralay hip hip hooray for gombeenism, Fiann Fail abu!!
Thieving scumbag. Thoght Bertie & the rest of them all they know. Country run by a fu*king mafia scum, FF are criminals, every single 1 of them, not 1 respectable honest member - shame on the Irish public & we deserve everythng we get for letting these wasters fu*k up our country over 10 years of boom, squandering every penny on the coat tails of good fortune - look at us now. Will we, the Irish people learn from it? No. Even when Bertie tribunual shows another thief, we'll be voting them in.
Are you an Irish man? Do you have any idea what he did?? Leading Ireland into the greatest recession since the formation of the state and not paying taxes and thieving money from the state, buying a private island, living the lap of luxury while telling the public to tighten their belts while he thieves from them? He's a common FF scum bag, dishonest, corrupt scum bag. It's just a terrible shame he didn't die in prison where he belongs.
He was a small gog in FF's corrupt machine. He did not cast a vote FF, FG etc did that. Talk sense you idiot. Oh, I am Irish, a real a patriot who pays all my taxes and has a Tax Clearance Certificate....has rotten Bertie got his yet? I hear he has not...
Served him self and his cronies to the best of his abilities would be more accurate. My mother always told me never to speak ill of the dead, so im going to shut up now.

he had alot of faults and did alot of wrong,but i think he had pride in ireland,doing up dublin castle for the eu presidency,visting steven roche when he won tour de france,wearing the irish scarf for italia 90,he had some common sense aswell,approving knock airport which gave country tourism,and when someone fucked up he made them resign unlike the usual craic we have now like moving ya to somewhere else or giving you a big lovely pay off like the fas joke

Since Eoin O'Duffy never made it this man is the greatest leader this country has ever had. People who think he did wrong are wrong themselves. He was a God amoung men. If only we had a Dictatorship and we'd have the north back now and no musilims or africans in here. We should do that Dn thing and try to bring him back to life, we'd be better for it i'm tellin ya. At lest bring back the Blueshirts and sort out all these bankers an blacks and islam fellas. Thats what i say anyway. Long live C.H!

The outstanding Irish politician in the decades since Lemass.
Praters go on about him being a thief. Nonsense. He was given money and took it...quite rightly and why not? He was a visionary and highly competent leader. if only he was around now.
tigerarmyrule 2 years ago
The man was a thief and a corrupt politician and what's worse he laid the seeds for successive Irish politicians to continue serving themselves first and the country second. Yes he did introduce policies that laid the foundations for the boom years, but so what, that was his job. ireland had long since blamed history and others for its economic failings, the truth is we simply needed to modernize and embrace the EU. Haughey should have spent his last years in prision just like anyone one else

Here's a classic at 1:20
"I have always sought to act solely and exclusively in the best interests of the Irish people."
Now that's surely a winner of the Beverage Through the Nose Award.
He was a corrupt, cronyist, conniving conman who caused a generation of Irish people to leave through emigration. (I was one of them but I'm back now).
He bred a culture of corruption that we are going to find very hard to get out of.
Spit on his memory. And on anyone who tries to glorify it.

I take it you're one of the people who keeps voting for FF - thanks a lot - you also have done the state (F£$kall) service. He presided over the country in the 80's and early 90\s right? When unemployment was rife or as you put it , Ireland was like a 3rd world country. And now it's happening again thanks to FF corruption. Well keep voting for Zanu FF - this country has unfortunately a high proportion of stupid people who like to be governed by the even more stupid.

Haughey championed a culture of corruption which has since devastated the Irish economy, poisoning the banking sector, reeking havoc on Irish society. Haughey served himself! When he stepped down from office no blue chip companies wanted him on their board of directors, an ignominious end for a supposedly elder statesman.

Greatest leader this country has ever had.YES,he was a crook...but an honest crook.Face it,he laid the foundations of the Celtic Tiger...which is too often glazed over nowadays.Even before he became An Taosaich,he was a hard working man.Personal and professional life should not mix (as long as the man has worked hard in his job,which Haughey di). Face it,where are the Lemass',Haugheys and Ahern's now....you scared em away...and now we are sinking.

Country run by a fu*king mafia scum, FF are criminals, every single 1 of them, not 1 respectable honest member - shame on the Irish public & we deserve everythng we get for letting these wasters fu*k up our country over 10 years of boom, squandering every penny on the coat tails of good fortune - look at us now. Will we, the Irish people learn from it? No. Even when Bertie tribunual shows another thief, we'll be voting them in.

Leading Ireland into the greatest recession since the formation of the state and not paying taxes and thieving money from the state, buying a private island, living the lap of luxury while telling the public to tighten their belts while he thieves from them? He's a common FF scum bag, dishonest, corrupt scum bag. It's just a terrible shame he didn't die in prison where he belongs.

He was a small gog in FF's corrupt machine. He did not cast a vote FF, FG etc did that. Talk sense you idiot. Oh, I am Irish, a real a patriot who pays all my taxes and has a Tax Clearance Certificate....has rotten Bertie got his yet? I hear he has not...
