Thank you all, especially Liam and Charlie. Very educational, and especially moving because we're viewing your film on 4 July in America, celebrating our independence from our common oppressor!

My family history is leading me in strange directions, and whilst researching Louisburgh, birthplace of my Granddad, John Joseph Gibbons, I came across your video. This episode is relayed by yourselves with such feeling, and compassion, that I had tears in my eyes by the end. I need to know more as I admit to being ignorant of so much Irish History :( . Thank you so much for telling this story . Love and blessings to you all xxx

18:57 I watched a video of the Carrowkennedy ambush 75th anniversary and it mentions the convoy were returning from Leenane after terrorizing the Wallaces and in this video it says they were heading from Westport before getting ambushed?

In the Video Charlie explains very well that the British came from Leenaun's direction

Where's the diversity of opinion? Typical provincial production.

[@liamog03]

This is factually based

@@cpfcfan95 This is about what happened in Ireland at that time relating to how the people living there reacted to an inforced The English who had invaded Ireland and succeded over a few centuries in penal laws and horrid unspeakibable acts tried to subjue , but failed to do . A massive tribute to our ancestors never relented to that horrid foreign invasion . so please explaise the other side .

@@liamog03 How difficult would it have been to provide diversity and inclusion to ensure truth of the situation - any situation for that matter. The sinews of community are diversity and inclusion. A poor man's hagiographer is a bigot. My point was to not spark up some discourse/debate in KZbin's comment section because the discourse/debate is going on in the newspapers for decades . My point was the video lacked the national discourse of diversity and inclusion, to consider and have in mind all narratives and let the audience decide. It little too late to offer a different perspective since the video has been long published. So anyways, good luck with your future endeavours. 😁👍
