Celtic FC was created by and for Irish immigrants, forced from Ireland through British imperialism, and met with racism and religious discrimination in Scotland as they came off the coffin ships.
We will always remember our roots and stand with those on a similar journey.
GAA President Jarlath Burns with a message more important than ever after the All-Ireland Final.
“For those who are our diaspora, who left this country because of war and famine, whose ancestors had to leave…and we thank the country’s who took you in and gave you jobs”
👏👏
Irish people have left here for a multitude of reasons for centuries; conflict, famine and also for economic reasons and simply to have a better life for them and their families.
Humans will always do that and good luck to them.
