Is this about a terrorist called Joe McDonnell?

[IrishandFolkmusic]

@sparky8620 Ignorance is bliss, it's about a man who starved to death, thanks to the stupidity of England.

[showsyer]

Really powerful lyrics - great song!

"...you dare to call me terrorist, while you look down your gun!"

God bless the 10 brave men.

The only ones throwing out the term "plastic paddy" are the loyalist scumbags. I will never take back my support of freedom, whether it's for the Scots, Irish, or Palestinians. Freedom is the right of ALL people on this Earth. So yes, Englishman, sit behind your computer and mock the struggle for freedom, because it only shows that you fear and hate what you do not understand.. freedom. Freedom and peace to all who seek it!

everyone killed in Ireland both English and Irish is because of the Brits. if hey had not invaded we would never have had any conflict.

[MrIrishman94]

@sparky8620 this was a true irish hero from the time of the troubles it is such a ignorance to call him a terrorist

[BodyFortress69]

We should all buy as much land as possible up the north, after all we make more on minimum wage than most of them do as qualified workers, the more land we own, the more of them we can send back to where they claim to belong.

The Liffey Bar what a Kip. So full of wooden planks , trying so hard to let on they had some connection to Ireland'

[JohninRosc]

I ran out of characters in my previous comment - my point is:- How important is a United Ireland now? We can drive across the border without looking into some spotty sqaudy's gun, we can operate on an internationally equal footing (as verified by QE2's recent trip), we've agreed to disagree on the past and agree on the future (look at the chuckle bros). The ten hunger strikers have brought this about in a surprisingly short time. This is a long game and a disunited united Ireland...?

30 years on and Bobby Sands' Francis Hughes', Raymond McCreesh's, Patsy O' Hara's, Joe McDonnell's, Martin Hurson's, Kevin Lynch's, Kieran Doherty's, Thomas McElwee's and Michael Devine's sacrifice remains one of the greatest events in Irish Republican history. The events that followed as a direct result of these men bringing Britain's cruel injustice to a world audience has brought peace to a deserving people from all sides. United Ireland? Ask B. O'Driscoll, D. Clarke, R McIlroy, etc

[Weasel1282]

to the English, you cant hold on to N. Ireland for ever. we will get it back one way or another. our victory will be our children's laughter.
