  • From Saudi Arabia, I read about the rebellion today and I'm really impressed with the heroic sacrifice they made. It paid off at the end and you got your free Island. Oh well, most of it.

  • Good to see that the people of Athy also remember the men & women '98, who gave their lives that the 'Rights of Men' might hold sway. Sometimes, I think we need a new revolution, a new Republic anyway...Speed the Day"

  • In Bodenstown churchyard flowers bloom for a brave man, whom none of our leaders of today are fit to look upon.
