And why can't ye remember those Mayoites who died fighting for the Freedom of their own Country?
Especially those who rose in 1798 ?

Who said we didn't these are just a few Castlebar 1798 ones & thats not them all, we also got the grave of President Moore & the grave of an unnamed French soldier.

Mayo Peace Park
Garden of Remembrance
Castlebar
County Mayo
Ireland

This website is dedicated to honour the memory of all those from Mayo, who served and died in all wars worldwide and conflicts of the past century, with the Allied and Commonwealth Forces, a forgotten generation who were written out of local history until recent times. We remember those who served or died in all wars worldwide and it especially remembers all those Mayo born Irish Army soldiers who served and died on UN operations.

The President of Ireland Mrs Mary McAleese will perform the official opening of the Mayo Peace Park, Garden of Remembrance in Castlebar , County Mayo, at 2pm, on Tuesday the 7th of October 2008.

As opposed to in Castlebar they where objecting to moving a monument to Ernie O'Malley to a location that it would not be vadalised by secondary school students so as to save council money, council wants to move it to a lovely location by the lake, but the Shinners kicking up a shitstorm, bloody hell its safer at the lake than on the Mall, council spends loads to upkeep it at its present location. I actually a fan of Ernie O'Malley & my town thats why I want to see it safe. They willing to spend extra money to keep it in its present location.

Mustn't take much to kick up a shit storm in Castlebar then as the last I remember there was only 1 SF member on the town council and yiz victimised him to the extent that he had to resign or lose his job. Would it not also be betraying the wishes of the person that donated the statue (O'Malley's widow) to move it somewhere else? If you are such a big fan of Ernie O'Malley maybe you should be asking what happened his art collection and why it never ended up in a museum in Castlebar as he wanted.

A Noel, I always wondered how such a nice lad could get caught up with such people as Sinn Fein.

Just for your info.

There was a good documentary on RTÉ recently. Documents released by the National Archives of correspondance between Mountbatten and an Irish diplomat revealed that Mountbatten was actually in favour of Irish reunification.

Probably fancied his chances as King of Ireland

Europe beware the Huns are back, bet the Romans are shitting themselves.

[especially one located in a country which treated its own indigenous people the way they did.]

Evil Genius:

Considering my people were in Ireland over a decade before the "Mayflower" even set sail, I don't see why I should have to take lessons in rights of residence from some "Paddy-Come-Lately" like him, especially one located in a country which treated its own indigenous people the way they did.

I have waited years to hear you say it EG. you could be talking about Paisley, Robinson or any of them.

1. The Celts are almost certainly not the indigenous people of Ireland, so if that is your own ethnic background, then you should be wary of anyone telling other people to "go back whence they came".
2. In the context of Ted Kennedy's exhortation to Irish Protestants to "go back etc", I actually had in mind the reaction to such a noble principle of any Native American who might have been listening.

Apart form that, good point, well made...

Thats alright Evil Genuis I reckon my great great great great great great...........................X1000 father was the first man in Ireland, so you can all fck off my island.

Sinn Féin have said they oppose the monument because it would be wrong to single out any one incident.

So SF have never supported memorials to any Republican who died in a "single incident", then?

Bitter, hypocritical c***ts. 

Contrast that with the reaction of some of the legitimate targets innocent victims who perished in the atrocity, such as the father of Paul Maxwell (the 15 year old Irish boy holidaying locally who was invited by Mountbatten to help out on the boat). The vermin who murdered his son undoubtedly knew that he was on Board, yet still went ahead. Meanwhile, his bereaved father has dedicated himself to fostering peace and reconciliation in Ireland, including being a major force behind an integrated school in Enniskillen.

Or consider the humanity of Timothy Knatchbull, the 14 year old who was seriously injured along with his parents, in an explosion which robbed him of his identical twin brother, two Grandparents and his friend Paul:

It is little wonder that the Shinners are desperate not to be reminded of this atrocity, since deep down they know that not even they can justify the utter barbarism which they deliberately inflicted on entirely innocent human beings.

They are objecting to the council erecting a monument (and rightly so) I think you'll find.
As for the rest of your rant - well!

I think you will find that it was the IRA that did this, dont think that sf were even around at that time - though could be wrong..

terrible that people were killed, however unless the memorial is a small and financially cheap plaque or somthing, it is a bit much to be shelling out dosh for that when the country's coffers are empty !

I actually agree, Lynchboy, bad timing for this kind of thing, purely on financial terms at present. Nice idea, but we broke.

These butchers Loyalist or Republican not alone think they have a right to kill the so called other side but can murder their own in a cause that only a deluded view believe in. Trust me there are many other Nationalist & Unionists who have differing views & also valid, we don't murder for them. I am a nationalist with alot of questions how a United Ireland will affect me, my family, my friends, my area, my county, my province. That sence of community is what makes us Irish no matter if we nationalist or unionist. I want a United Ireland by the way, but I am far from ready for it.

Doesn't some of the Mountbatten family still live in Mayo.

Cab we get a few of their nukes and maybe a nuclear submarine then we can pretent to be a rogue state and blackmail billions off the Yanks!

[MAYO'S]

I'd be in favour of a Connacht Dáil. We'd obviously move to reclaim MAYO'S oil and gas fields and that would be a good start in addressing the imbalances of history against the west. Leinster/Dublin could temporarily prop up the costs associated with the additional 6 counties until they systematically reduce their standard of services.

Speculation on the radio this morning that Joe Kernan is in line for the vacant Galway job

http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2009/0827/kernanj.html

Couldn't be according to some here Joe would never manage any other county team.

Joe Kernan said that with his own lips. Supermacs must have made him an offer he couldnt refuse.

Hey taking the hurling job is he. I would love it if Galway got Big Joe & even Micko in a dream team management, I would say bring it on.

Seriously what the hell are these evil c***ts doing, how can any reply to this be anything but catch the fckrs & lock them away in the deepest darkest hell hole prison around.

Ted Kennedy, RIP, a family touched by great tragedy. A great friend of Ireland.
