This Government are Traitors and all

I believe that our government for the most part have no empathy or conscience.They allow Irish children to suffer on waiting lists,flood schools with inappropriate sexual content and where are the children missing from Tusla's care? Our children are our future. All of the nations children who had to emigrate should be encouraged home. This government has a lot to answer for.

'S Sean Gaill iad fhéin ar son cuid 's mó a charaid.

Go raimh maith agat

In my opinion we have a government of occupation just like the French during WW2, the Irish people are second class citizens in their own country and currently policies will have the Irish people a minority in their own homeland within the next 20 to 30 years.

They and/or their branches have caused problems for me and my friends

I have every intention of voting with my feet, which seems to be the only one that gets results in the Irish system.

An Claíomh Solais means "The Sword of Light", and is named after an Irish newspaper originally published around the beginning of the twentieth century. This project is opening a window to that time, not so long ago, and sharing the hopes, dreams and visions of the men and women who founded the modern Irish Republic.

The project will follow in their footsteps along the path laid down by Hyde, O'Conaire, MacNeill, Cusack and many others through sharing news, ideas, articles of Irish cultural interest and more, as well as helping to support Irish language and cultural initiatives.

You don't get to betray us and smile

You don’t get to lecture us on our blood and our past,
Famine headstones paving a road any can pass.
Our villages hollow, our young forced to flee,
While newcomers are housed and our people come last —
that’s your “compassionate” decree.

We remember the coffin ships, the millions who died,
Under cold British rules and indifferent pride.
That horror was on us by foreign command —
Not a blank cheque for every stranger to claim our land.

We emigrated through hardship, built lives far a

Ode to John Devoy, a Forgotten Hero

A forgotten hero it has been said
Was born in Kill at a time many tears in this country were shed
Just before the Great Hunger this child did arrive
And lucky for us Irish he was one who would survive

An immense gra for Irish freedom he held in his heart
And it was when he was young that he first made a start
In his quest to release us Irish from beneath British rule
He was beaten for not singing “God Save the Queen” in his school

Involved in three wars he was one of a few
To take part in all conflicts and see
