why is it called Athenry? The original, and correct, name is Baile Atha An Ri which means The Town Ford of The King. probably an irish, or celtic, king. Hardly an english one. Could we not have places called after fellow-celt-kings, ie Scotland, Wales etc.?
BY THE WAY: the proper pronounciation of t his town is; BLAW ON REE.
"ATHENRY" MEANS NOTHING. IT IS A CORRUPTION. HOW CAN WE EVER REVIVE OUR LINGO IF WE CANNOT PRONOUNCE PLACE-NAMES PROPERLY?
Go to hell you fucking asshole it's because of England's tyranny my Country of America Rebelled, India Starved themselves, and Ireland did/still doing both. So fuck you and fuck England
@girofone i would prefer to die hungry jobless cold but irsh then be a part of that germanic imperialistic greedy establishmeant that you are a part of.and for the record you did not get rid of us.it was the actions of pearse and men of his kind that broke those blood soaked chains that bound us.and stopped the tide of the englishization of a people and their culture.we were down on our knees many a time before and we collectively rose like the morning sun,economically we wil do likewise
@rjtierney100 - DEAR R.J.; whatever ENGLAND and the ENGLISH EMPIRE did to us, our p resent SOUTHERN Irish government is also doing to us!!!
what is the difference between english oppression of us and feena fawl/finna gael oppression of us? NONE WHATSOEVER!!! Put your thinking cap back on, will ya?
@rjtierney100there is a massive difference.for starters as a democratic state the people of ireland through the ballot box voted this lot in,in time they will be offered the opportunity to vote them out.however watery and transparent theyare they were voted in by the mna agus fir na heirinn.at least this power lies with us.i think it is unbelievable ignorant and disrespectful of you to compare the horendus conditions the british empire inflicted upon us a nation and a people 2 todays predicament
I feel sorry for william pearse, he was executed for being Padraic's brother, nothing more... he was not a leader in the easter rising, yet he was executed... that sound fair to you? >.<
@taszim william was executed because he was caught passing messages from padraig to the other rebels in the G.P.O, he was executed for that same as james connelly was he not injured in the uprising and he faced his firing squad sitting in a chair.
ONE OTHER THING:
We Irish (north + south) are not the ONLY Celts out there.
There are AT LEAST FIVE OTHER Celtic States out there.
COUNT THEM!!
COULD YOU NAME THEM IN A PUB QUIZ?

why would ANYONE want to die of starvation?
if you are hungry, you eat. you do not starve yourself.
why die for FUCKING SOUTHERN IRELAND when you can live for it?
Not that there is much to live or die for here!!

A rare old Irish song and tribute to the heroic Patrick Pearse, he is a Irish hero who will never be forgotten by the Irish naton or people.
Thanks Russ for this share.
