@ClarkeMicah @matrix800 You think this was an uphill struggle? Consider the campaigns to ensure that "Dublin" would one day revert to "Baile Átha Cliath"

[justin scannell @jhscannell]

@itsjohncrotty Yeah, that's a pretty good breakdown. Besides, after Lester's very public stance against the Nazis, no one could have questioned the government's bona fides

@MiamiShowband Gotcha!

[justin scannell @jhscannell]

@itsjohncrotty Thanks!

@itsjohncrotty I remember, some years ago, a book of great Irish speeches (this one included) was released with CD recordings of some of them. Would love to know if any of the other recordings can be found online

@AlexKane221b Is there a specific point in history when the Orange Order began to see a drop-off in membership? I'm quite curious

@ClarkeMicah And wherever she is now, I'm sure she regrets it.....the fires I mean

@ClarkeMicah @RStrongdoctor To paraphrase Kissinger: if the parties to both sides of the war knew what the result was going to be, they would never have fought in it.

[justin scannell @jhscannell]

@itsjohncrotty Great! I think there's a tendency to downplay diaspora figures in Irish historiography, which may be the reason why nobody told me about Meagher. Looking forward to reading your post

@ClarkeMicah @dizzythinks A true precedent is set when someone on social media actually asks to be blocked
