In September 1922, a force of the 2nd Kerry Brigade struck against Kenmare. Using a Thompson gun in the fighting, the unit retook the town along with over a hundred prisoners and captured two cargo ships
Volunteer Jeremiah Murphy left a great account of his part in the action

This is from an especially bleak part of North Dublin. The only place it's really like this is parts of a couple of cities, mostly Dublin. There is an upper class in nice parts of South Dublin and most of the rest of the country is populated by a status conscious middle class.

7th November is the anniversary of the death of Servant of God Frank Duff
Duff was arguably the most influential Irish man of the 20th Century, founding the Legion of Mary, the world's largest lay organisation which now has over 10 million members
Duff once served as secretary to Irish hero Michael Collins, he attended the Second Vatican Council and was instrumental in the survival of Catholicism in China after Communists took power
Duff was known also for his kindness to prostitutes and to single mothers, both of whom he helped despite their treatment by wider society

Choose Kneecap.
Choose shite music.
Choose allegations of sexual assault.
Choose the glorification of drugs that destroy our communities.
Choose performative leftism.
Choose making a mockery of Irish nationalism.
Choose an MI5 pension plan.
Choose Kneecap.
This is fantastic - Irvine Welsh, legendary playwright & the author of Trainspotting has written a few words for Kneecap's poster for their gig next month in Glasgow.

The Bann disc, an Irish Iron Age masterpiece, is a bronze disc with an exquisite triskelion engraving. Seemingly served no practical purpose other than sheer aesthetic quality and craftsmanship.

On November 5, 1775, General George Washington criticized his colonial troops for celebrating Pope's Night, an anti-Catholic gathering held every November 5 in England and the American colonies in which effigies of the pope were burned.
Washington called it a "ridiculous and childish custom" that offended French & Irish troops in the colonial army, and harmed relations with Canada, a potential ally in the American Revolution.
"Instead of offering the most remote insult, it is our duty to address public thanks to these our Brethren embarked in the same cause."
