You are related to a great Irish hero. I have always been fascinated by his life story. Another video tells of his life in Australia.

Forgot i commented before

These kind of ancient pagan beliefs and witchcraft are still with us today and not only in Ireland, but in many parts of the world, including England.

@@hneek249x I agree, although non-Muslim, non-African Englanders have stopped burning people etc.. They still do great damage though. eg my 'Christian' mother told my "pregnant whilst engaged' daughter that in her day, girls like her would be kept in a dark cellar and away from the sight of decent christian folk.. My daughter was hugely upset and almost aborted. That baby is now the mother of Daisy, which makes me a great grandfather. I abhor all religion which I regard as wicked.

Hi Margaret. My books are available on my website www.michaelmoriarty.ie Thanks and best regards Michael

Don't think so, or he would certainly have claimed such a link.

I’ve checked with others and my previous videos and it seems as good as usual

@@mikeshiddenhistoriesThank you for doing that. I can only compare it with other channels and if no one else has any problems, fair enough. Interesting history channel you have. Good luck.

Wasted on traitors like mihole Martin varadker and the rest of them

Is your original spelling Nolan? I have never heard of Noland. I would think it ended up changed over the 200 years to Noland. I'm from a Carlow background and my relatives were hung, drawn and quartered by the yeoman and English at the time and buried in St. Lazerian's Cemetary, Old Leighlin, Co. Carlow - on the headstone the death was recorded as 26th June, 1798 with no mention of the cause of death.

You can find the information in O’Connor’s pub in Cloghane village at the foot of the mountain.

I don't really know, need to do study of family trees

All that is so interesting and I agree that those young soldiers have been forgotten. I often think of them and it amazes me that young boys were combatants. Very often the army was seen as a job and an opportunity to assist families. Indeed, when the leaders of the 1916 Rising in Dublin were captured and marched along the streets to the train station they were booed and pelted by local Dubliners, many of whom had sons enlisted in the army. Thanks for your interest and informed observations.

My broadcast is based on extensive research so please back your comments with facts

@@mikeshiddenhistories I have responded with facts as requested, however, YT in their wisdom have removed what I wrote. I will re do it and try and get it to you.

Sorry Mike, your research is based on fictitious nonsense. It appears you have read Ned Kelly, A Short Life, written by Ian Jones. Jones made up a huge amount of fictitious nonsense and his myths have been exposed by professional historians, and he is substantially discredited. Much of his nonsense has been removed from all government promotional material, and that process is continuing. I have been responsible for ensuring the myths have been removed. Please look to nedkelly info You will find in the sections Articles and Myths research by Dr. Stuart Dawson. More to come.

Research by Dr. Stuart Dawson, PhD, Professional Historian, is presented. This relates to your allegation that Constable Fitzpatrick was drunk when he attended the home of the Kelly's to arrest Dan. This relates to the fiction that Ned Kelly uttered the words, "Such is Life". Evidence given by Constable MacIntyre at Kelly's trial for the murder of Lonigan. Note there was NO shootout as you claim. "On the following morning, 26th, Sergeant Kennedy and Scanlan left the camp to patrol no horseback, leaving me and Lonigan in charge of the camp. Sergeant Kennedy had a Spencer rifle and a revolver, Scanlan a revolver. Lonigan had a revolver, and I a revolver and fowlingpiece. During the day, in consequence of a noise having been heard down the creek, I searched the place but found no one, and on returning to the camp fired two shots at parrots. I and Lonigan, at about 5 o’clock , lit a fire in the angle formed by two large logs which crossed each other, and proceeded to prepare out tea. We were standing at the fire with one of the logs between us. Lonigan alone was armed, and he only had a revolver in his belt. My revolver and fowling piece were in the tent. There was a quantity of speargrass 5ft. high about 35 yards from the fire, and on the south side of the clearing. I was standing with my face to the fire and my back to the speargrass, when suddenly a number of voices from the speargrass sang out, “Bail up, hold up your hands.” Turning quickly round, I saw four men, each armed with a gun, and pointing these weapons at Lonigan and me. The prisoner, who was one of the men, had the right-hand position, and he had his gun pointed at my chest. I, being unarmed, at once threw up my arms out horizontally. Lonigan was in my rear and to my left. Saw the prisoner move his rifle, bringing it in a line with Lonigan, and fire. By glancing round I saw that the shot had taken effect on Lonigan, for he fell. A few seconds afterwards he exclaimed, “Oh, Christ, I’m shot.” The four men then advanced on me, running, three of them with their guns lowered, the prisoner drawing a revolver, and all calling out, “Keep up your hands.” "Kennedy and Scanlan came up on horseback. They were 150 yards from us. The prisoner was still kneeling behind the log. He stooped to pick up a gun. Kennedy was on horseback. Prisoner said, “You go and sit down on that log” (pointing to one), and added “Mind you don’t give any alarm, or I’ll put a hole through you.” The log was about 10 yards distant from the prisoner, in the direction of Kennedy. When they were 40 yards from the camp I went to them and said, “Sergeant, we are surrounded; I think you had better surrender.” Prisoner at the same time rose and said “bail up.” Kennedy smiled, and apparently thought it was a joke. He put his hand on his revolver. As he did so prisoner fired at him. The shot did not take effect. The three others came from their hiding place with their guns, and cried out, “Bail up.” Prisoner picked up the other gun. Scanlan, when Kennedy was fired at, was in the act of dismounting. He became somewhat flurried and fell on his knees. The whole party fired at him. Scanlan received a shot under the right arm. He fell on his side. Kennedy threw himself on the horse’s neck, and rolled off on the off side, putting the horse between him and the prisoner." Ned Kelly was NOT in the hotel as you claim. Here is what the Royal Commission held in 1881 found. "About seven o'clock, Ned Kelly, the leader of the gang, was captured. He had been wounded in the foot during the first brush with the police. He left the hotel by the back shortly after, and selected his own horse, which he led away into the bush at the rear. On the way he seems to have dropped his rifle and the skull cap that he wore inside his iron headpiece, not far from the house. He then seems to have endeavoured to disencumber himself of his armour, but, being unable to do so without assistance, he evidently made up his mind to break through the cordon of police, rejoin and die with his companions in the hotel. His capture was effected without much difficulty or danger, as he was wounded in several parts of the body, and was incapacitated from using his revolver with effect." I reiterate, that your research is inadequate, as the evidence presented above shows.

@@mikeshiddenhistories The Royal Commission held in 1881 made the following observation regarding Ned Kelly. "About seven o'clock, Ned Kelly, the leader of the gang, was captured.

His capture was effected without much difficulty or danger, as he was wounded in several parts of the body, and was incapacitated from using his revolver with effect." Ned Kelly was NOT inside the hotel, as you claim. The initial clash commenced at 3.15am and it was about 7am when Kelly rose and approached the police from the rear. Evidence that Ned Kelly was only charged with the murder of Constable Lonigan. From The Argus Friday 29th October 1880. "At a special sitting of the Central Criminal Court yesterday, before his Honour Mr Justice Barry, Edward Kelly was brought up for trial on a charge of having at Stringy Bark Creek, in the Wombat Ranges, on the 28th October, 1878, wilfully and maliciously murdered Thomas Lonigan, a police constable. Mr. C. A. Smyth and Mr. Chomley appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bindon for the prisoner." On the site previously mentioned, the book written by Supt. Hare is there. "The Last of the Bushrangers". Please read Chapter 9-10-11.

Nice statue there now
