@camannua@erskinechilders@paddycullivan What do u think Sean ? Me, born and raised in West Cork, believe today as I did 35 years ago that he was killed by his own side , purposely
@Nallystand@PurtyLanders And can’t blame the young lads that their heads are being turned, promised all kinds of things but the scouts here who are involved with the GAA that are doing the head turning should be ashamed and should get kicked out of the GAA
@Nallystand@PurtyLanders Scouts here I’m sure are getting paid Already tapping up lads who just won minor for Cork Like let’s be honest it’s utter madness that it’s allowed. Clubs and Counties nurturing these lads to then just be stole away
@CorkHurlingPod Two very strong personalities in a winning team is grand Winning cures everything Cork have a losing culture weather we like to admit it or not I hope I’m wrong but very worried about this. And has there been any more mention of Donal O’Grady lending a wise ear ?
@jdenicholls Less than 90 days after the end of WW2 in Europe ye lads kicked the “hero”Churchill out of office. In a landslide no less. How loyal of the voters
@jdenicholls While your royal family and half your parliament were openly supporting the Nazis ? While Churchill wanted to join with the German army days after the war ended and fight the Russians ? Tsk tsk
@Muinchille@erskinechilders And how did such a coward become the head of the provincial government , and basically come out of the whole thing with his reputation (officially) intact. He’s about the only one who did Who thinks of him when we look back at that time ? Not many I’d suggest
@diarm_od@McManusDavid@P_Soisialach As for David saying that he appointed himself Commander in Chief , well the truth , facts and David have always had a difficult relationship
@diarm_od@McManusDavid@P_Soisialach Also he had wrote to Cosgrave in the days before his murder that “ we have yet to engage the British in the North East “ He could not be seen by the people in Government to be trying for peace in the Civil War
@diarm_od@McManusDavid@P_Soisialach Also when Cosgrave wrote” The British kept their word now we have to keep ours “ what did he mean by this Collins was neither a traitor nor a turncoat , he was practical and was 5 steps ahead. But even he never saw that the real danger came from those closest
@greenemberarts@erskinechilders Exactly 100% this He was in Cork to speak to Childers , to end the Civil War He could not be allowed to succeed by the people in power See his last letter to Fr Hackett Again sorry to butt in here but it’s so fascinating and saddening at the same time
