.vote no? if i remember right, afew years back you all voted no to the lisburn treaty but your government didnt like ur vote & forced u all to vote again & like the cowardly sheep the irish people are you did what u were told & all voted yes. as i said before, ireland the land of cowards & fools!
I feel a connection when having a pint with Irish and Scottish people after a rugby game. I just can't say the same about English people. They may be decent enough, but they somehow just don't get it.
Any empathy or support I would have given you was blown away by your childish and ill-founded comment 'English scum' Try moderating your language, forget your hatred and concentrate on solving your problems.
This Song is a remberance to my Old Grandad Thomas :(.. Just wish i could see him again.... iv always Liked this song i cried to this song when i heard if :'( ..

this song hits a chord with me now. Because my wife is Bulgarian, the British (Read as "English Scum") government is making us jump through so many hoops to claim child benefit, even though i have paid NI and tax all my working life. An English couple who never work can get so many benefits, but we cant calim shit just because my love is Bulgarian. Free Scotland. Free Ireland. Free Wales. Free me to love my wife and claim wat is due to us from my hard work!!!!
Free energy is finaly here!But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Find a motor that needs no fuel or input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!
Beautiful song, and the pics are ok too, no matter where from, as a Welshman with West Cork ancestry, I'd recommend you take a tri[p over to Eire, you'll soon understand the love our Irish cousins have for their country. Da Iawn fella!
@mrkev24bass This is not just about abusing the Irish. Poor and hardworking Welsh, Scots and English people have been exploited for years. We have songs to sing and many are sad and reflect old conflicts, lost loves and battles. The deal is the rich declare war or make policy and their servants fight or enforce the policies. The servants, merely puppets, come from the exploited but dont know or care. Like Punch and Judy the puppets amuse and are blamed.
@mrkev24bass Be we Scottish, Irish, Welsh, from the Isle of Man, Brittany, or Cornwall, I've always felt all of the modern Celtic tribes have a deep love for the lands they inhabit, and a respect for each others. I know who I and everyone I know cheers for when the rugby is on and Ireland aren't playing!
Beautiful beautiful song. Just illustrates what a vile country Britain was and still is in this day and age. Growing up with an Italian and Irish heritage in Scotland isn't easy at times but this song makes me proud of my routes. Tiocfaidh Ar La
@rkomarzrko What day is that will come for you then? When the majority of people vote for a United Ireland through peaceful democratic means? Britain doesn't have much to be proud of in Ireland but neither do your terrorist heroes. It takes a big man to shoot a soldier while he sleeps in his bed or blow up a kid out buying football shorts with his saved pocket money. The road to your ideal Ireland is a trail of tears and innocent blood on both sides, I hope a piece of land is worth it.
@rkomarzrko. Well don't just think it was the Irish who were transported to Australia, it was ordinary Brits throughout the country for petty crimes against the rich.
@rkomarzrko. I've Irish ancestry too but I'm not proud of the IRA scum who planted bombs and killed children such as Jonathan Ball in Warrington in 1993. Now that is vile.
@Enquiringmind777 What makes you think that Irish nationalists are proud of killing children?,take time out and discover how many irish children were killed at the hands of the British,your lucky that the watching world cant see on TV and video or newcasts what britain did in Ireland in the last 800 years,ok,2 wrongs dont make a right mate but think yourself lucky that your not one of those in history that was murdered in the name of Britishness,.lad history didnt start at your birth.
@Enquiring Mind 777 So your proud of what the brits done to irish children if your going to condemn the IRA in your statement then condemn the brits they murdered more children then the IRA could ever have done. We have 800 years of history of british murder not just the past 30 years,
@rebelsofireland. Are you saying British soldiers went out to kill Irish children, What the hell are you talking about? How about Dominic McClinchey of the INLA spraying people with a machine gun and throwing grenades into a church full of worshipers in the house of God. What do you have to say about that? Is that what republicanism is about?
Everytime I go to Bulgaria my friends want me to sing this lovley song and I always sing it in the Paddy Reilly style because its the best version of a very beautiful and emotional Irish ballad - maybe I should post my version!
I like most every version of this song that I've heard, but have to say the Dropkick Murphy's version is my personal favorite. I just love their interpretation.
This really is my kind of music, i love this song always did and always will, this is a song that i have to learn to play and sing sometime in the future, yes i have to say again this is a great and wondeful song. Ed
No wonder nearly half a million have clicked on this. the ultimate version of a terrific song, from the cello at the beginning, to Reilly's awesome voice, to the beautiful bridge (is that a flute or penny whistle, I can't say) I first heard this in 1987, and have never tired of it. I wouldn't dare cover it, and I rarely say that, but there are some bloody awful corruptions of this song out there. I only wonder what John McCormack could have made of it. Nobody had a voice like his.
The European Potato Famine hit Ireland badly because of so many people's reliance on the potato. The British Government's handling of the crisis was a cock-up but there was much sympathy for the starving Irish on the mainland. It cost the Prime Minister (Peel) his job.
The world community is currently cocking-up the relief effort to the starving of the Pakistani floods. Nothing changes.
paddy reilly is simply the best irish folk singer,i wish he was still touring,im too young too have seen the best in der day,a lot of them have retired,best of luck to them,but im still raging i missed out,so lonely round the fields of athenry!!!!
It is a beautiful song, doesn't matter where the video was shot. Irish born and bred and will live on this beautiful island until I die. I am proud of my ancestors and of our people today scattered all over the world who listen to this song without any video. It is the music and the lyrics that count.
Speaking as an Englishman I have to say , the list of "proud achievements" in our history is indeed a small one , repelling the Armada and helping defeat the Nazi's are up there , hard to find anymore.
@lesblakeman. I take it you haven't bothered to look at the Nobel Prize List and Englands standing on it, or indeed all the inventions, culture, architecture that have emanted from England, that does not negate the fact that England did not treat Ireland well down the centuries a fact of which I am not proud of especially as I have Irish ancestry.
why cant people just appreciate great music instead of being so political all the bloody time, you typed the song in to you tube so just appreciate the music
Video of wales, so what, reminds me of many a night in north london,now fewer and fewer irish pubs an almost vanished phenomenon.Drove through willesdon a few weeks ago, i knew in my heart there was nowhere there where this was on the duke box if there were any of them there.Great song.I'm english originally from Croydon, it doesn't matter,really it doesn't.

this song means so much to our family, my sister boyfriend was only 17 when he was knocked down, (13 years ago)and when he dies in hosp, my sis sang this to him, and a tear rolled down his face..special song... Nicola , Inverness
For all those who are concerned that the video does not relate to the song. It's a beautiful song and I added to me what are beautiful pictures. I do not have pics from Ireland as I have never been. I am reluctant to change it now as the post has been here for several years with many people using as a memorial to loved ones gone on.
@cymboi Dont worry about the pictures man. You did a great job with the song and some beautiful images. Great video. Thank you for doing it. Greetings from the states and a big thanks.
What a beautiful song, I'm so prous to be a Scot of Irish descent. Our ancestors suffered so much and still managed to come through it in the end, it's amazing.
Words seem inapropiate in trying to say what this great song and exellent singer mean to me, glad to sub you my friend, writing this through tears, God Bless you and God Bless Paddy Reilly.
@mickeymacca65 Well, you know what? I would rather be an Irish atheist than an Irish who defines his/her nationality by some silly religious belief. The Celts were not Catholic. They were fierce warriors. Conversion to the meek, mild faith of Paedric set the Irish up for acquiescence to the British....
i love this song...so bittersweetly beautiful....my papy is called michael and god love him he left ireland through the starvation ..only to meet my mother an englishwomen!imagine how i feel !knowing the history....all we can do is know ,and use it as our wisdom xxxx
I'm English and proud to be English, I love the fact that I have Scottish and Irish blood and love my Scots/welsh/irish kindred. As an English man I undoubtably have alot of celtic blood in my veins and even Irish men undoubtably have massive amounts of anglo saxon blood in there veins. Over the centuries the English and Scots and Irish have moved and settled and migrated all over the British isles. Like it or not by blood and genetics and ancestry the English Scots Irish & Welsh are identicle.
I'm English. I AM proud of my country, despite its faults. But I'm DISGUSTED in what some of our ancestors did.
A lot of it stems from when the rich ran the country, and had no opposition due to denying education to the poor. I've met plenty of rich people. You can't tar them all with the same brush, but a lot of them didn't want the poor educated because that would have shown them up for the imbeciles they were.
Please Ireland, don't hate us because of them. They are dying out.
What a wonderful song!!!! Could cry everytime i hear it. Reminds me of really good days i spend in Ireland! A fabulous country with brave people!!! I love it all!
I'd like to apologise to those people who had posted something on the wall and couldn't see anything. You Tube seem to have changed the way they list things and didn't realise what was happening.
Every time i listen to this song I cry because it is too much beautiful!!!
Forgive me if i made some mistakes but i don't speak English as first language: i'm Italian but i've been in Ireland and watched at all the beautiful things in that country
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it!!! Forgive me if there are some mistakes but I don't speak English as my first language: I'm Italian!
i lovee thiis sng we learnt thiis wiith aree teacher!! i am proud twe be irish whoo iis wiith mee!! love irish boys!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am an Englishman with Irish and Scottish roots. My mam grew up in liverpool along with all my aunties and uncles. My mam says that Liverpool is the capital of Dublin and always has been. What a song. Let's stop sectarianism and be as one

It's not meant to be political. I used beautiful pictures to go with a wonderful song. Although it does have a link in the way that you suggest. so does Cornwall and Wales. Firstly they face Ireland and secondly, they are Celtic. Thanks for your comments. Mark
@mdmx33 yeah. well there ya go. tough shit mate, sorry about your nationality, you can't help where you were born. viva las irlandes, viva las malvinas!
Not all English were responsible for the acts of a greedy few. As not all Germans are responsible for the holocaust and not all white men are responsible for slavery.
The English are fine with me. Any other Irish shite heads that feel entitled to hate the English weren't even alive by 1921.
No better than hoodrats in America that think slavery gives them a free pass to behave however they want.
@kylematheney Yeah you're right. Same as not all Irish are responsible for the fact that their preists and nuns were allowed to sexually abuse their children for so long.
@wew0nitfivetimes Yep,we always get one sarcastic , twisted bastard ,in any discussion.I suppose all protestant vicars and ministers,as well as Sunday school teachers were untainted and pure.Don't blame the people ,the only ones who were aware of what was happening ,were the poor children who couldn't do anything about it.
This is such a beautiful song in every respect, and that is something that everyone can appreciate no matter where they come from.

I'm English and proud to be English, I love the fact that I have Scottish and Irish blood and love my Scots/welsh/irish kindred. As an English man I undoubtably have alot of celtic blood in my veins and even Irish men undoubtably have massive amounts of anglo saxon blood in there veins. Over the centuries the English and Scots and Irish have moved and settled and migrated all over the British isles. Like it or not by blood and genetics and ancestry the English Scots Irish & Welsh are identicle.

I'm English. I AM proud of my country, despite its faults. But I'm DISGUSTED in what some of our ancestors did.
A lot of it stems from when the rich ran the country, and had no opposition due to denying education to the poor. I've met plenty of rich people. You can't tar them all with the same brush, but a lot of them didn't want the poor educated because that would have shown them up for the imbeciles they were.
Please Ireland, don't hate us because of them. They are dying out.

I'd like to apologise to those people who had posted something on the wall and couldn't see anything. You Tube seem to have changed the way they list things and didn't realise what was happening.

It's not meant to be political. I used beautiful pictures to go with a wonderful song. Although it does have a link in the way that you suggest. so does Cornwall and Wales. Firstly they face Ireland and secondly, they are Celtic. Thanks for your comments. Mark

Not all English were responsible for the acts of a greedy few. As not all Germans are responsible for the holocaust and not all white men are responsible for slavery.
The English are fine with me. Any other Irish shite heads that feel entitled to hate the English weren't even alive by 1921.
No better than hoodrats in America that think slavery gives them a free pass to behave however they want.

@wew0nitfivetimes Yep,we always get one sarcastic , twisted bastard ,in any discussion.I suppose all protestant vicars and ministers,as well as Sunday school teachers were untainted and pure.Don't blame the people ,the only ones who were aware of what was happening ,were the poor children who couldn't do anything about it.
