  • Thank You for the interesting Video on Robert Halpin. I'm a Halpin living in the New World whose fore bearers are from County Clare near Kilkee. No " Great Eastern ", just Farmers and Builders.

  • Excellent video. With the facts of the "Great Eastern" and the Transatlantic Cable, this needs to be stressed in schools.
