@maxvolmue99 you hit the nail on the head, escape was not a choice it was the attempted destruction of a culture and a people, by economic means, they tried everything else to break the Irish Soul, but you cannot hide from the truth.....Why is KIng Menes first King of Egypt buried in County Tyrone??? Why is Queen Scotia,daughter of Akhenaton who gave her name to Nova Scotia and Scotland, buried outside Tralee, why is Queen Tea, buried near Tara...????
Well said, To be honest our own goverment in Ireland should have taken theese poor souls home a long time ago...

All you Ray O'Rourkes, Mcnicholas', Murphys,Mcalpines,Byrnes and the rest, just remember that you made your pots of gold from the Irish men you left begging on the streets of London. That is what this song is all about. . . . .M Boyle, Edinburgh
