After the 21st (birthday party, that is....no, not mine, silly! But you WILL be forgiven for thinking so...!), we're back on the 7th with 13.
Ya wha', Shar...?
Did ya not get that?!
No, I'm not 21 (...yet..!), we'll be back 'on line' on the 7th (...of August. 2024, that is...jeez, try and keep up, will ya...!) with a 13-part blog post.
We'll be filling in the details of the following three pieces, along with about ten other happenings from our historical/political/military past and, although those instances are behind you (and all of us), they'll be in front of ya on Wednesday, 7th August 2024.
So give us a shout then, wontcha...!
Ireland, 20th Century - this rebel Priest was too much for the Catholic Hierarchy to handle but, when he was to be relocated and a new Priest sent in, his parshioners, friends and supporters physically prevented that from taking place. His political beliefs actually caused him to be barred from entry to at least two countries but, by God (!), he was welcome here...!
Early 20th Century - 'Wouldn't do that job for love nor money...' - in a pro-British 'police force' in Ireland, that is. But then a British 'baron' upped the wages and expenses, and the flotsam was drawn in, but casualty rates rose proportionally...
1955 - Sinn Féin and the issue of partition was somewhat confused in the public mind when a certain organisation co-operated with Leinster House politicians in relation to that particular obstacle...
Hoping to see y'all on the 7th,
Thanks for the visit, and for reading!
Sharon and the team.
