I am very sorry that I cannot associate myself with this Bill or with anything relating to the public safety measures introduced by the Cumann na nGaedheal Government or by the present Fianna Fáil Government because I have seen that most of these Emergency Acts were always directed against Republicanism. How is it that we do not see any of these Acts directed against the Jews, who crucified Our Saviour nineteen hundred years ago, and who are crucifying us every day in the week?
How is it that there are thousands of well educated young men being forced to take the emigrant ship, not from Galway Bay or Cobh this time to take them to the greater Ireland beyond the Atlantic, but to take them from Dun Laoghaire and Rosslare to the land beyond the Irish Sea, the land of our traditional enemy, to help England in her war effort against Germany? There is one thing that Germany did, and that was to rout the Jews out of their country. Until we rout the Jews out of this country it does not matter a hair's breadth what orders you make. Where the bees are there is the honey, and where the Jews are there is the money.

It's often been suggested that Charlie Flanagan's pro-Israel stance is due to him wanting to atone for his father. Here's a few quotes from Oliver's first day in the Dail.http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/debateswebpack.nsf/takes/dail1943070900009?opendocument

In the summer of 1926 the IRA launched a campaign to rid Dublin of the scourge of moneylenders. The IRA was forced to defend these activities against accusations of sectarianism, they insisted that it was in the interests of the poor of the city and was in no way anti-Semitic. The operation involved armed raids on the homes of known moneylenders and the confiscation of their ledgers, record books and documentation. The campaign, which resulted in the arrest of several members of the IRA, reflected a change in IRA policy away from the national question towards social issues.

That's some pretty wild & controversial stuff.
The government & church did a good job of keeping it out of the history books.
I await with interest your evidence that either the government or the church had any hand, act or part in keeping this out of the history books.
Well it' not in the history books. You know Ireland was one of the worst countries in Europe for censorship in the 20th century, and I include the eastern Soviet buffer states. And like their Soviet counterparts they were very good at hiding evidence.
This state since the 1930's - late 1980's had been run like a Catholic Theocracy, nothing could be done with the Bishops or a Cadinals approval. Dev himself felt that the arts in Ireland were to be promoted only when they observed the "holiest traditions", but should be censored when they failed to live up to this ideal. Section 31, what they were doing there was what Chomsky called "manufacturing consent".
And people wonder why Protestants didn't want to live a Priest Ridden state.
When you think about it, how the local priest would get info on pretty much your whole life, and if he thought you would be a threat to the state, because you might be a republican communist, socialist, anarchist etc... he reports you to a Bishop. The Church pretty much controlled large aspects of your life that's pretty totalitarian stuff,
That's your evidence?
Interesting Guardian article, wasn't just De Valera who missed Hitler.
Your link isn't working for me. Can you check it?
There were a few free state officers knocking around in the early 20's who didn't think twice about murdering whoever got in their way. They left a trail of bodies around South Dublin. I suppose they saw these guys as a problem for whatever reason or none and knew that they could get away with it like the other officers who were at the same business.
Try this:
Are you denying the Catholic Church played an unusually high role in Irish politics in the last 150 years?
