Long live the memory of General O Duffy and the Blueshirt movement.The saved Ireland from Leftist republican terrorism.

Racist blueshirt bastard

@jacksjohnny Yeah he just permitted loyalist violence and murder. You're little better than an apologist.

I think enda kenny is closer to the cosgrave era, in castlebar he made the comment that he does not take himself seriously but that he takes his job very seriously,the same comment was made by liam cosgrave in 1975, a very interesting point i think

Please come back Mr Cosgrove,we forgive you for your past mistakes. Protect us from Kenny and Co.

If the moustache was a bit darker you'd reckon he didn't die in the bunker.

FG- Nazi bastards. They should be opposed on the streets of Ireland like the BNP

@jacksjohnny I notice that you never resp[onded to my point. As I've always said about the Irish, very good at talking, useless though when it comes to listening.

@TheChapaqua Have you noticed the hate filled comments here directed at Cosgrave by Republican sympathisers? Cosgrave saved the Republic of Ireland from the huge violence, which engulfed the north. We owe him, his government, the guards and army a huge debt of gratitude.

@TheChapaqua Cosgrave was not criticising the English as a people. The same journalist himself was quite good at dishing out criticism.
A legend

Perhaps Cosgraves comments were ignorant.Perhaps his ploy, muddying the journalists democratic right to criticise political bodies,by associating their work with a 'sure what would they know/us versus the blow ins' mentality, was just plain wrong.Perhaps to have such a mentality typifying Irish politics for as long as it did was manipulative(playing on voters romantic visions of an Irish collective) and undemocratic (preventing any real changes to inbred politikin')
