Worst Irish person in History

[Declan]

No mention of Larry Dunne, Martin Cahill, John Gilligan etc?.

No blueshirts up there I see.

How about Michael Collins, he was directly responsible for 100's if not 1000's of deaths.

Idiotic thread laced in the bias of a Fine Gael puppet.

I don't agree with is that he is an FG puppet, that would suggest someone is in charge. I don't think anyone is home there.

would you ever get a life you sad act and be a bit of man besides anonymously insulting someone on the internet.

Says the man who started a thread to discuss who is Ireland's worst person.

1st Duke Of Wellington

Why is Gerry Adams up there?

Quite simple really he is Leader of a party that is the political wing of a terrorist organisation that were involved in the deaths of over 3500 people. An organisation that set back the unification of Ireland by generations.

How can you expect to be taken seriously with complete sensationalist propaganda like that? You clearly have no f***ing idea what you are talking about or you would know that there were approx 3,500 victims, unless of course you are trying to claim that the IRA were the only ones to kill anybody? Collusion by the british government with loyalists is believed to be behind in the region of 700-1000 murders. Should someone like Ronnie Flanagan not make your little list then?

Nothing like talking pure and absolute sh1te when you haven't a clue what you're talking about though is there?

Oh, and were the Old IRA or the IRB all terrorists too by the way? Or is it only those who used the same tactics to fight for the same goal but who were in the six counties, who can be called "terrorists"? Or, as someone else says, should someone like Michael Collins make your little list too? Being a leader of a "terrorist organisation" and all?

Never mind that, he'll hate Catholics even more now that, according to this thread at least, the Catholic Church is actually Irish (and a person).

1st Duke Of Wellington

"Being born in a stable does not make one a horse"

He never said that, Daniel O'Connell said he said it and it has become popular myth.

FFS.Were you there ? Sounds like british dirty tricks,  the news according to Punch. Daniel O'Connell tells lies and Wellington is an Irish hero. . Their actions would suggest DOC was a fairer man.

FFS Yourself. He said it in the Court, O'Connell suggested that it was like something the Duke would say as opposed to him saying he said it or as opposed to any record of the Duke of Wellington saying it. O'Connell is recorded as saying it in the Court.

Hugh Ó Neill the ole yella bastard. Should have stood his ground.

Having researched the Wellington matter for 2 minutes on wikipedia I concede that the quote appears to be dubious .

Still it is a strange that there are two slightly different quotes attributed to O'Connell on the same day

# The poor old Duke! what shall I say of him? To be sure he was born in Ireland, but being born in a stable does not make a man a horse.

    * Daniel O'Connell, in a speech (16 October 1843), as quoted in Shaw's Authenticated Report of the Irish State Trials (1844), p. 93

# No, he is not an Irishman. He was born in Ireland; but being born in a stable does not make a man a horse.

    * Daniel O'Connell during a speech (16 October 1843), as quoted in Reports of State Trials: New Series Volume V, 1843 to 1844 (1893) "The Queen Against O'Connell and Others", p. 206

But as Franklin might have said "Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see."

well said myles plus he was linked to even more after the partition of Ireland, if he had not signed us over like lambs to the slaughter the troubles would not have started as the unionists would not have had a manufactured majority in a gerrymandered state to deny nationalists basic civil rights, so if your going to do a poll at least have the decency to hide your civil war blinkers
