  • wat a ledgend he lived a bad life in this war torn country the only way we can achieve peace is if we obliterate the secterian bigot orange order and unite this land. IRA. this song brings a tear to my eye

  • It's purposefully misleading to say the IRA killed more Catholics. As a percentage of IRA victims, its 20%. Compare to 86% of the victims of the "neutral" British Army and 79% of the RUC's victims. But most telling is the Terror Quotient, that is, the percentage of civilians killed by each party. IRA: 34%, British Army/RUC: 50% and the Loyalist Death Squads: 90%. The stats pretty squarely tell you who the terrorists were/are.

  • @jclancy1916 Amnesty International gets dictated to by the UN governments. their stats are not reliable at all, and their collective opinions are somewhat uneducated at times.

  • RIP Francis Hughes and all the brave men and women who died for Ireland,we wont let our people die in vain, Real Oglaigh na hEireann our struggle continues until we achieve the irish peoples destiny Ireland free from british rule "Tiocfaidh Ar La Eire Aontaithe"

  • My son looks like a wee version of his cousin Francis - RIP we will never forget you and your bravery

  • The dissident camapign is evil & doomed to failure, but no more so than the past campaign by the Provos. For yrs the provos promised to 'bomb the brits out of ireland' and refused to recognise Northern Ireland as a country. Now in 2011 the IRA are gone and SF sit on the British payroll as part the status-quo in a Northern Ireland government. So while the dissidents are doomed to failure just like the provos the question we have to ask is - Who really has age-old republican logic on their side?

  • @smallworldssugar awww, boo hoo

  •  they dont make em tougher than francis hughes rip legend

  • @EamonnODriscoll Your quote is a "misleading" lie amnesty international tells the truth.
