Robert, first of all...great video - thank you for posting. Second, would you be kind enough to post information on the music you feature in this video?

[robertleokelly]

@kosicekat First song is called "Joe McDonnell" by the Wolfe Tones. Then either a "A nation once again. or four green fields"

@getOUTamyCOUNTY I couldn't agree more. The triangle of evil is the King, The General and the Bishop. It has been for 2000 years. Missionaries are soldiers in disguise. The eyes and ears of the oppressor. The clergy's evil behavior allows the governments and police to turn them into informers. And just like informers they get away with anything. Too bad the IRA doesn't target priests and bishops like they do other informers.

@carsieplg - These blokes weren't heroes nor POW's, they were murderous scum who brought misery to the decent people of Northern Ireland.. They might be seen as heroes and POW's to the rest of the republican mindset, but, to those who had to foot the tax bill and policing bill they were seen for what they were, and that is scum and nothing more.

@goinghomesomeday1 encouraged to commit suicide you are the idiot as the PIRA where against the hunger strike it was the mens choice to give there lives for others to be treated as POWs as for the TRUTH each one of these men will be remembered as true heroes for eternity thats what you hate is the TRUTH
