many will remember this RTÉ documentary about 1916 and General Maxwell "The man who lost Ireland". The significance of this documentary, or the significance RTÉ made about this project was that it talks about the court martials in detail eg - William Wylie's account that The Countess pleaded for mercy on the basis that she is a woman
By the way, is this the same Willliam Wylie who became an Irish Judge??? or related to a William Wylie (well renowned lawyer in the area of land/property law?) if so, how did the country not turn against him when emotions & attitudes change? Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/ Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/ Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/ Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/ Part 5 - cut to the point - the countess' account http://www.youtube.com/ Part 6 http://www.youtube.com/ Last edited by walrusgumble; 19-09-2009 at 17:52. |

Yes walrus I think it is the same man. I think there's probably a class explanation for why the country didn't turn against him, he would have been quite protected or insulated by other upper/middle class types and allowed to prosper in a way that others in different professions would not. btw I'm not a fan of Markievicz but I think his account of her breakdown in court goes against everything she said and did throughout her life. I'm fairly sure he was a well known misogynist though so that would have been as good a reason as any to lie.

"No one can insult our Flag"
Waterford County Museum's website seems to be head and shoulders above any other county museum. It is very well worth having a look at.
In particular, I love this clip from 11 November 1920 of two local IRA men forced to hold the Union Jack and march through Waterford by the Auxies after they had torn it down. It was done as a propaganda exercise by the British for showing in British cinemas during the war. Watch at the back of the Auxies there is a tall Black and Tan walking behind them with a pistol in his hand and a big smile: http://www.waterfordcountymuseum.org...y/article/118/ You have to click 'download the video footage". I'm sure you'll find much more on that site. |

lowing is a clip of the irish army in the congo. as many will be aware, the congo was ireland's first mission as a member of the un peacekeeping. the irish army went through some severe conditions and political hostility (not to mention intitially being badly equiped) anyone who has/had a family member or knew someone in the army will know that the irish army is one of great pride and excellent distinction when serving in the un
as the congo was ireland's first port of call , i feel it merits to be here www.youtube.com Last edited by walrusgumble; 25-10-2009 at 22:22. |

the forgotten ten
this is a documentary abut kevin barry and 9 other men who where executed during the war of independence and buried in mountjoy. as many will remember, their bodies were only removed from the jail 5 years ago. this documentary looks at the hardship their families had to endure in order to get their bodies out of the jail. clearly, as sign of the times and shifting attitudes towards 1916-1922 in light of the government's preoccupation with the peace process. members of the 6th btn 4th western brigade (athlone barracks) got the honour of acting as pallbearers from their original plot to the cars (other brigades were involved of course) i knew some of the lads. very proud day for them. i also remember the f*ckers in the Indo who had the gall to write sheer lies. (it was round this time i woke up to the notion of revisionists - i was only in my early teens then) Part 1 www.youtube.com Part 2 www.youtube.com Part 3 www.youtube.com Part 4 www.youtube.com Part 5 www.youtube.com Part 6 www.youtube.com Part 7 www.youtube.com Part 8 www.youtube.com Last edited by walrusgumble; 25-10-2009 at 23:08. |

clip from british pathe of roger casement's home coming
www.youtube.com british pathe for nelson's pillar (i doubt it had the dubliners singing along, but there you go  )www.youtube.com/ the next clip is in relation to jeremiah o'donovan rossa. one of the signifcance of this was Padraig Pearse's first public outing (all in military uniform, which would have got the castle tongues waging.It was here that Pearse told the mourners that "ireland unfree shall never be at peace" (the music i think is from the chieftains) www.youtube.com here is a clip from thomas ashe's funeral. as many will be aware, collins gave the grave side speech. it is said, collins ripped up his speech after the guns were fired, and simply said that the noise from the guns was all that needed to be said....... . again, the people defied the castle by coming out in army uniform www.youtube.com british pathe clip in relation to terance sweeney (ignore the music). i understand sweeney wrote a book about freedom or was it maccurtain who wrote it? anyone know? www.youtube.com clips of thomas maccurtain's funeral www.youtube.com funeral of cathal brugha www.youtube.com shame the archives seem more concerned with funerals as oppose to clips of the men alive. then again, there was a war. they were on the run and hardly had time or safety to prance around to photo opportunities. |

this one is for the ladies, the wimen
 ah no seriously thou, honest to god. we seem to have completely forgotten one section of teh country when it comes to writting history. whether the subject/period of history is not agreeable to some, there is no doubt that women sacrificed just as much as the men. as many will know during the treaty debate markiveic, clarke, sweeney & cuman na mban, the women were extremely oppose to the treaty.as you also know, it was not just the men during any period of irish history who went on hunger strikes. as seen below, armagh prison is a case in point. Tim Pat Coogan describes in his work on the IRA the extrermely horrific and severe conditons he found when meeting some strikers in Armagh like mairead farrell (not we men don't have to worry about a certain time of the month)this is Irish Women: political prisoners (about the north) part 1 www.youtube.com part 2 www.youtube.com Part 3 www.youtube.com Part 4 www.youtube.com Part 5 www.youtube.com Part 6 www.youtube.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is women in the civil war. considering how parnell had difficulty with his sister's branch of the land league and how cumann na mban were hostile to the treaty, it's no wonder De Valera took such a hostile attitude towards women with the Constitution. Maiden homely women my ar*e, a clear indication of telling women, particularily strong minded women, where their place was. www.youtube.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- women of 1916 www.youtube.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maud Gonne www.youtube.com Irish women in the Labour Movement www.youtube.com Last edited by brianthebard; 07-11-2009 at 18:05. |

this is an Irish - Englsih language documentary made by RTÉ(2000) about the Kilmichael Ambush.One significant part of this documentary is the asertions made by Canadian Historian Peter Harte that amongst other things, the Auxies were robbed and hatched to death and we killed after surrender. Mr Harte raises issue over alledge inconsistencies with various reports made by Tom BArry. You decide
